Google Page Rank Update
The last few days weird things have been happening with the Google data centers. Many have been down, webmasters have reported up and down ratings for PR, and back links are being changed. Many sites are changing the Search Engine Results (SERPs).
There is a lot of talk through the webmaster forums that this is the next Google PR update. It would be very strange if this really was because the last update was around January 10th, 2008 and the common pattern has been every three months or so. It would be rare indeed to see such an update in just over a month.
One thing we webmasters can count on is the fact that Google remains a mystery and if we all think we have them figured out, they burst our bubble by changing things up. I too have seen some weird happenings the last two days. This blog, which was created after the last update, always showed n/a for PR. Today, it is showing PR0 which is sometimes an indication that the update is about to happen. The other sign I have seen is one of my blogs that was PR3 is showing up some places as PR2.
I still have no back links showing up on Google for seo08.com but I know I have several. This could be just an adjustment and not a full out update but I guess only time will tell. The last PR update came as a shock because the one before took a long time to happen. Is this a sign of quicker PR updates or just a Google burp and everything will be back to normal in a few days?
If you are seeing any weird stuff in Google PR, please share your experience by leaving a comment.
