Page Rank Finally Updating

[Webzcas]

Not sure if this is the right forum for this.

Google has finally updated it's tool bar Page Rank. To check your sites page rank use this tool on seochat.com http://www.seochat.com/seo-tools/future-pagerank/

It hasn't propogated on all datacenters yet, but the ones it has I am seeing some good results

I noticed the updates too. My site went from PR3 to PR4 and most of my content pages went from PR0-1 to PR3-4. I actually went down the list on searches though because so many other rake rebate sites went up on PR too. I just wish I understood why so many PR0-1 pages got listed higher then me on my keywords. On Yahoo I am 1-3 on all my keywords, on Google I'm on the 3rd page and there are many sites that are not even poker related between my listing and the top. Oh well.

Yes, my new sites got some PR, but still no traffic .

Pokeraddict, your site isn't very old AFAIK, so it can be sandbox.

PR and SERPS have little to do with each other.

PR apparently, over time, helps those who link to your high PR site to raise in SERPS.

So a better PR allows you to link to other sites with the better PR, and as such will EVENTUALLY result in a better engine positioning.

That is the only point I see in PR. People always look at it to judge a site - I don't really think it has a lot of meaning other than in the linking situation.

Like Dominique said, PR is different from SERP's. A PR does not mean a good position, and nowadays I look at the PR green bar more as entertainment means. Google only updates it 4 times a year, and it is almost always not up to date. I only use it to get an idea of the site, to see if it is new, banned, and how is it being indexed. I don't use it as a decision making tool.

By other side, PR refers only to google. There is Yahoo and msn, and they don't follow that PR.

Then there was none. All sites are greyed out as far as the page rank bar goes. After monitoring WMW and seochat - I am convinced this is the end for page rank.

Spoke too soon. Page Rank is back.

Google backlinks updated in the last 24 hours, supposedly page rank should be updated by the end of the weekend. I hope to have my site to PR6 status it was PR4 in last update.

Looks like we may be up from a 1 to a 3. A slow grind, but getting there eventually. Congrats on a 6.

I do not think that only the PR can give an overview about the status of your site.
