many say toolbar pr is not important, well ok, but how do you measure the real pr? no way.
traffic is of course, important. since we more or less rely on the search engines for the traffic, and pr is one of the factors that influence the rankings, so that's why we are concerned about pr.
to a certain degree, pr has some impact on our earnings as well, some of us may sell links, and pr matters much in this case.
google gives us a significant media to make ends meet for those who has little traffic and high pr.
so lets anticipate the next pr update.

I've heard the next pr update is in the beginning of April (so in a few days)

I am looking forward to the next pr update and hope to see a positive change in at least some of my sites.

yes PR update will be soon i also heard by some one as well.
because Google update all PR with in 4 months around.

I give out my PR, I give myself a 10

my PR is now 2, but I think it'll be at least 3... I'm waiting...

I have a new site and have a pr of 0 I'm hoping to have a 1 or 2 when this updates however. Thanks for the info.

i think the update will take place late this day or tomorrow, lol, show your updates here then.

I've found Google's Pigeon Rank to be the most effective.

Me too. I am praying and waiting for good news. I dropped so I got my butt to work, maybe I can climb a bit now.

Having't seen any changes till now,maybe,maybe tomorrow.

If I build quite a lot of backlinks just a few days before the PR update, say a week, do you guys think helpfull to achieve a higher PR?

Same here. It's amazing how great those pigeons manage to work. Got a couple of local birdies infiltrated under fake names... Hope they get me a decent good old PR.

Absolutely true.. Also, with adsense, you'll have better share of click rates if your site appears PR1 and above..
