Google PageRank Update started
Written by Kevin Muldoon from System0 on April 29, 2007
Google has been updating their servers the last few days. You may have noticed a change in search engine traffic to your blog because of it.
I hope you all did well in the new update. As i expected, BloggingTips is still too new to get a pagerank so ill have to bide my time and wait til the next update. Which is fine with me 
You can see what your blogs PR is on all dataservers here. Bear in mind it might be a few days more before your rank is updated on the google toolbar.

That darn Google Sandbox. Best I can tell, blogs are in the sandbox for about 2 months before they realize a PR increase. Keep the content coming and the PR will follow.

i was actually pleased that i didnt get a pagerank if im honest.
i didnt have enough pages indexed or link backs to get a good pr so theres a chance i could have been landed with a 2 or a 3.
id rather just wait to be indexed rathe than getting that :):)

At the last update I I’d be lucky if I had 20 links. I’d been going about 1 month, and I got a PR of 1. Now I have 240 blogs linking to me, and so far no increase. I hope it just takes time for some to update.

armen - i checked all the dataservers for you. 6 of them are showign a page rank of 3 and the rest are showing a page rank of 1 so theres a chance your gonna move up to 3

How does the PR on all dataservers work? On some I seem to have a PR of 3 and some of none?
Thanks

Hi Tara,
It means you should be moving up to a page rank of 3.
Google spiders so many websites that it has to span the data over a lot of servers. It simply isn’t feasible to update them all at the same time so some will have updated already whilst others still have to. The process used to be known as the google dance but i dont think its referred to as that anymore.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the explanation. I’m learning all the time.

I’m really surprised I got a page rank because my blog isn’t even two months old yet. I started it about the middle of March. But I got a page rank of 2! I’m really happy =D

Like this site a couple of mine were still too new to get a PR, but the rest of my sites all saw good PR increases, so happy with that as it means I can feed these new sites lots of PR for the next update

I seeing a god fat difference in PR4 and PR5..
sites are easily getting PR4.. but for PR5 they’ll have to work hard..

How often do PR updates take place?

tz - google have never said that it will happen x amount of times a year (to my knowledge) but since its started its always been roughly every 3 months. However, they have changed the way they update a few times (eg theyve tried to index sites gradually instead of one big update)
