Have a speculation about when Google will update?

Do you think there has been a backlinks update? PR update?

Google Fluctuations? Algorithm update?

You may want to start with a basic understanding about Google updates.

I've noticed that 3 sites I frequent which were virtually brand new and just missed the last toolbar PR export, and thus, were showing "Unranked", now show PR0. Is there such a thing as a partial toolbar PR export?

Yes I have seen a similar thing in two of my sites. I think "Unranked" means not discovered by google yet and once the site is discovered it defaults to PR0

Not quite maybe... Just last 2 months I think [url removed] got a pr2 rating (my blog is just 3 months old) and now upon checking it I have seen it has been dropped to pr0! Well I dont really weigh much importance with pr but im just curious... I mean I have never done paid post, never passed pr juice (all nofollowed) and so..

What do you think has caused my blog's pr to drop?

i don't believe there has been an update in the past weeks. i do think PR2 on a 3 month old site is kinda high and Google probably corrected it.

Thier last update was last week of July and I believe it took 3 months before they upate their pr.

My site pr got no changes. Try to check yours again. Maybe the tool is not working properly.

There is a possibility that your tool is not working properly. I have some problems on my tools. For what i remember after I've updated my Firefox, some of my tools are not working properly.

Blog's drop pagerank because of the decrease of Google backlinks. Google remove the unrelated backlinks. To increase google backlinks is to use a do follow links.

I also notice the sudden change of google's Ibl result.. But it's just temporary... My backlinks return to their normal state after a few minutes...

countolaf · #14 (**permalink**) 09-15-2008, 04:51 AM

Thanks for the responses. I actually had a look at its pr at SEOMOZ pagerank checker.. And really its actually dropped to 0..

lloyd.velarde@gmail. · #15 (**permalink**) 09-15-2008, 04:58 AM

I don't think that the PR update already occur, my site and blog's PR are still the same...and it will takes 3 month for another update by google.....

benwa · #16 (**permalink**) 09-15-2008, 10:16 AM

I don't think there is any update of PR, I mean my image hosting site still the same as last month... PR0. Hope to improve by next update.

well, something else ... I see a lot of problems with PR tools and also heard it on a few other forums, seems google is blocking them more aggressively ...

Bobo99 · #19 (**permalink**) 09-21-2008, 02:18 PM

I didnt notice any updates this month, I hope there is one soon

cashgifting · #20 (**permalink**) 09-21-2008, 02:20 PM

I also noticed a PR2 page drop to PR0 a week ago, though it has not lost any links (and in fact has gained some). Yet this page is trusted by Google, it appears on page 1 of a search that returns around 50 million results each time. I think there may be some problems with the API/toolbar.
