It's been 3 months after the last update of google PR... does any one knew when the next update of PR

Not too sure. I thought they are doing a rolling update that will be stretching a few months?

I'm not sure though too, but they just had their indexes updated a few weeks ago, not sure if that will go along with the pagerank update.

well for the past 3 updates the interval is 3 months, but this time it look like longer...

Just do your SEO work day after day, and never stop to wait for google updates

Good advice littlewhie, but I'm still waiting for that PR Update... Like watching a pot of water waiting for it to boil.

Just dont concentrate on PR much. Thats hardly will give you anything.

When one of my sites was a pr 6, I averaged about 8000 people a month from google. It dropped to pr 5 and now is about 2000 referals from google a month.

I think PR is a pretty big factor.

I've found that a site with a good PR is taken more seriously by my website visitors (being a webmaster related site). So I take pr seriously for just that reason, but it seems to have little or nothing to do with the SERP's.

PR can also be a pretty big factor in determining a website's value if you want to sell it. (You can't get a good price for a PR0 site). It is often seen as a measure of a site's general success (though not always rightly so).

Hopefully the update will take place sometime over the next few days, but we'll just have to wait and see.

No one knows when the update will come. Many people thought that it would come in around Apr. 1st but it still hasn't shown up yet. Who knows when.

Probable 2 reasons
1. To confuse the webmasters
2. They started with more regular updates and now the toolbar PR and actual PR are never the same.

When one of my sites was a pr 6, I averaged about 8000 people a month from google. It dropped to pr 5 and now is about 2000 referals from google a month.

The main reason behind this can be. When you had PR 6 on toolbar your actual PR was something say 6.0 - 6.4 and when you ar at PR 5 it can be anything between PR 4 to PR 4.99. Even it could be less as the toolbar PR is not updated regularly

I think PR is a pretty big factor.

If I state this way. Its the PR which is an important factor but not the toolbar PR that we see.

PR also defines how regulary your site is spidered. I just started optimising a PR3 site and it takes bloody ages to get crawled. Im looking forward to the update!

For good PR you need 'linkability'. Linkability means 'the number of websites with a link to your site. The higher the number of linked sites, the better ranking you will get in some of the major search engines.
The best source for linkability is www.SearchEngineSubmission.ws . I am using them for the last two years and very happy with the results.

i would be cautious when considering submitting your site to ffa link pages.

Manual submisions to well managed link directories with good PR are far better in my opinion.

FFA links will be ignored by the major search engines.

I dont think they are doing anything that can help you in the long run.

If you read there site description they say

Submit your website to 930,000 search engines, Classified Ads, Directories and FFA Links.

But then googles guidelines say

Fiction: Joining a link exchange or "free-for-all" link program will boost my rankings.

Fact:Linking schemes do not increase a given site's PageRank, and will often do a site more harm than good. Many sites that advertise link-sharing programs not only offer little value, but will distribute your email address without your permission, resulting in an increased volume of unwanted mail to you.

You should never have to link to an SEO.

Avoid SEOs that talk about the power of "free-for-all" links, link popularity schemes, or submitting your site to thousands of search engines. These are typically useless exercises that do not affect your ranking in the results of the major search engines. At least, not in a way you would likely consider to be positive.

Thanks and hope this helps.

Also would like to add that they are nowhere found for the term search engine submission when you search in google except adwords. Now if they cannot get there site on top how can you expect ours to have something positive out of them.
