[Join us @ facebook]

Just a quick note, google pagerank update is in progress.

Can you see any result yet? Hope we got better pagerank (I know pagerank is useless but still is the #1 factor for selling links )

Another update from the big G is on the run.
If you want to see more information read the post about google pagerank update at webdigity.

yep looks good for me:

arcadepacks.com 0->3
theppcsearchengine.com 2->4
php4all.eu 4->3
buitenspelen.eu 3->4
siteranks.net 2->3
remote-screenshots.com 0->3

all others didn't changed (and no PR6 for me )

got 0 -> 3 on my Movie Studio!

I was wrong there are two PR6 for my sites!

My main site went from 0 -> 3, before I went and screwed it up, and had to delete it. (Meth0d, reupload the files neccessary. See my IM on MSN to you for more info.)
My other sites still have to be processed...

I've gotten a PR5 
plus a couple have upgraded from 3 to 4

It looks like the update is over. Probably this was the fastest pagerank update ever happened, and I got a 5 -> 4

I guess that sponsored links thing caught me

Yeah, well it looks like I will now have to wait for my pages to get any boost .

Don't worry man. Pagerank is not that important. Actually it is not important at all unless you sell links

Uh, FYI, I have 3 directories as of May 4th at 12am.

wow that was really fast! only a few days while the lats took several weeks

@Nick,
I see you lost your PR5 at thetopsites.com was that the only one?
(btw one of my proxies went down from PR4 to zero!)

Ouch Olaf. That must hurt that site's popularity!

no not really, still have the same number of visitors, as Nick mentioned the PR is not important for results

Maybe the update hasn't ended yet (who knows?)

I've just saw some of the updated results from my directory (I mean the update for the listed sites) and most of the sites that changed got a smaller value than the one they had before.

Olaf: Yeah only topsites got a smaller rank

Ouch Olaf. That must hurt that site's popularity!

This is the reason most professional web developers get so frustrated with Google, PR is nothing, but hype and lots of silly people thinking their lives are over because Google thinks their site lost link quality 6 months ago!

To prove the point I set up a domain 3 months ago instantly linked to a PR6 site and 5 PR 5 this should give it a PR4 its result PR 0 different site 6 months ago jumped from 0 to 5!

Traffic to these sites 0 (they are my test zone and I don't want normal traffic visiting as it screws my stats)
PR is worthless unless you are selling links to people who make statements like Nathan, in which case you can sell $100s worth of links to a site which has never seen traffic.

hehe, right Tim.

I got this way 2 or 3 PR5 domain names this way ... (not more the 50 uniques a day each)

Looks like I got made stupid again...LOL Tongue

[edit]
Okay, here's where my sites are at currently:

    * joffeepublish.com 0 --> 3
    * whiteeagle.joffeepublish.com 0 --> 0 ( Embarrassed )
    * whiteeagle.joffeepublish.com/blog 0 --> 0 [ Embarrassed )
    * christnet.joffeepublish.com 0 --> 0 ( Embarrassed )

During this same period, my site has risen from ~1,300,000 to 1,038,069 in Alexa. I like that stat Cool .

I have noticed one thing...new pages instead of getting a zero appear to be getting "No pagerank information available" and a gray PR toolbar. I checked several of my sites and WebDigity seems to be doing the same.

Since it used to be that a gray toolbar indicated a banned site, I don't think this was a good move. Seems like the only page that should have a zero is a new page. I thought the gray was a good idea...Hmm, I wonder if this somehow has something to do with the paid links concept and well, now I'm not sure where I'm going with that as a banned site and PR really don't relate.

Your thoughts?
