I built a site about 4 months ago and I just started to trade links and submit to search engines about 3 months ago. I still dont have a PR yet. I have over 20 sites where I can place its link and already got on other peoples sites with high PR's. I have taken many new sites in the past and got there page rank to a 4 in less than two months. I cant figure out why this one is taking so long. I was wondering if Google has changed anything lately or maybe it takes longer now to attain a PR. I started this site fresh and know I did nothing that Google wouldn't like. Any ideas?

The toolbar PR hasn't updated in a little over 3 months.

Do you know when it will be updated?

I heard a chinese whisper of this week, but its all conjecture. I have a few sites waiting for an update deperately (Pr0 for months!)

I've just read an article about PR (of course it's probably only the writers and some of his friends opinions!) that Google are looking at either changing the way PR works or scrapping it altogether and replacing it with something else.

The main reason (they claim) is that people are buying and selling high ranking links for profit and so linking irrlevant sites purely to get a PR boost, which Google aren't happy about as it goes against the whole point of PR.

Any more rumours we can start?

My mothers brothers roomate talked to a bum who use to work for McDonalds where a person who knew a person who worked at google said that they were planning on changing PR to a system that will work with gmail, so the more links a person emails the better the score. They also said something about goats blood and a moonlight dance to raise PR.

Laugh now, but that's all most of us have to go on at this point. But it should be soon--there was another post about this exact same topic a few days ago, I'm having déjà vu.

i predict around october or november

Gives a nice overview (although it could be wrong as only google knows how google works) as to how Google may work.

Latest info been that google are coding to penalise those who do not adhere to the google standards. I.E if you have pages of links (link faming) then your score will end up 0. Plus they are targeting other methods of cheeting your way to the top.

The PDF gives some nice hints as to what you can do to get your page going without having to pay some middle man vast amounts only for google to chance the operationg methgod and ban you 1 week after forking out a bag of sand for you position.

Of course the article is based mostly on assumption and could be completely wrong (but then it may not).

It has been 104 days since the last Google Update! And you're right only Google knows for sure when the next update will be.

Check your PR again today.

Google finally updated my sites' pagerank

PR4 on the first update... not too bad I suppose!

(And now I'm already anxiously awaiting the next update...)

You might not want to hold you breath. It might be 6 month this time.
