Because that's the usual state of play for new pages/sites.

**blackmamba** · 11-03-2009, 01:12 AM

No PR changes for me....

**agnelroy** · 11-03-2009, 02:30 AM

I don't understand that if Google is de-valuing the PR, then why they are going for another pagerank update?

**chrishirst** · 11-03-2009, 02:33 AM

Google has NEVER valued toolbar PR. Even the REAL PR is only a small part of the overall "importance" of any page.

**orionoreo** · 11-05-2009, 07:17 PM

anybody get more traffic automatically from the increase of PR? SERIOUSLY?

**TheBrainchild** · 11-06-2009, 10:32 AM

I noticed a bunch of changes and am ecstatic to see the results!

I hope the update was good for everyone else.

**chrishirst** · 11-06-2009, 05:30 PM

and what difference has it made??

Yeah I saw a good result in PR update. BTW I was wondering guys when the PR update where's your quality links comes from? That indexed by Google...

**chrishirst** · 11-07-2009, 11:46 AM

Pointless and irrelevant toolbar "updates" have absolutely nothing at all to do with "quality links".

It's just a pointless waste of time.

**benedict65** · 11-09-2009, 03:50 AM

No change in my PR too.

**host1plus** · 11-09-2009, 04:52 AM

Yes and we have achieved PR5 (a bit more that per 6 months)

**Alex Carlson** · 11-09-2009, 05:14 AM

Nothing changed for my site

**babatek** · 11-09-2009, 10:43 PM

Ya, most of my sites have an increase and I am happy about it, lol.

**chrishirst** · 11-10-2009, 04:36 AM

Why, what difference has it made to your life?

**Agnel** · 11-10-2009, 05:57 AM

My site PR is unchanged.

**airforce1** · 11-10-2009, 09:29 AM

Right, PR of my homepage rose from 2 to 3 and some inner pages did get PR 2 or 3.

Thanks,

**ritchela** · 11-10-2009, 09:44 AM

My PR0 site for 3 months is now PR2. But is PR so important nowadays? I have read that Google took it out in the Webmasters Tool.

**chrishirst** · 11-10-2009, 09:51 AM

Toolbar PR has NEVER EVER been important.

**johniman7** · 11-10-2009, 02:17 PM

In theory a higher PR page should help your rankings more than a low PR page, however page rank is such a piss poor measurement of a sites value that it doesn't really work out. Almost all of my sites have no PR anymore, because I stopped hunting high PR links for them. They all rank better than they did before (still adding occasional links from relevant sites, no where near as much as I used to).

I think links are important, and I think that ranking #1 for google is very important especially if your website is just a money making site, not a website for an actual offline business. But don't fall into this PR rat race, go for quality, organic seeming links. In content, not using the same keywords all the time, sub pages, etc.
