Mine is still grey as well. We just hit the 4 month mark so I'm hoping pr updates soon.

My PageRank is 12,654, as verified by DaveBob/seolman.

Who wants a PR12,654 link? Only $15,000,000! THINK OF THE SEO BENEFITS, PEOPLE!!!

pff, Those things only make money Chris.. They aren't as important as a little green bar and an out-of-date number between one and ten!

You are chasing something meaningless to enable yourself to get something worthless.

It's a bit like saving up belly button fluff so you can exchange it for nail clippings.

DANG! And I've got (what does Adam call it...oh yeah)...a buttload of belly button fuzz saved up too.

**x3mario** · 08-02-2007, 03:23 PM

If that's happen to your site then congrats. Mine is still remain the same.

**twin** · 08-03-2007, 06:07 AM

I havn't noticed any changes yet

**indiecat** · 08-03-2007, 08:16 PM

Some sites are showing PR updates. But it's still in progress; more and more datacenters are showing the changes today than were yesterday. The PR update always continues over a span of time, rather than in one fell swoop, so this isn't unusual.

You can check the various datacenters at:

Denise, I don't think you understood Chris' question and the point behind it. External PageRank has no bearing on search engine rankings, sales, conversions, or anything other than creating a false marketplace among link buyers and sellers.

He wasn't asking about the significance of PageRank. He noted that some of his pages had new PR, and stated "I think Pr is updated" and wanted to know the status of others' sites as well.

I merely noted that the PR update is still ongoing. It may have finished for some webpages, but for others it hasn't finished yet.

Checking the datacenters is one way to see the status of a particular site; a mix of "old" and "new" PR values on the various datacenters indicates that the update hasn't yet finished. When it's finished the PR on all datacenters will match.

PR is one factor - of 100 or more - that goes into the SERPs. It is certainly not the most significant.

best,
Denise

**ADAM Web Design** · 08-03-2007, 10:53 PM

No...the external PageRank update may or may not be ongoing (those of us who know better are paying no attention). This sounds like it's splitting hairs, but it really isn't. The external PR isn't the one that Google uses for ranking purposes, but as a rough indicator for webmasters.

Internal PageRank is the one that's used for ranking purposes, and it's updated on an ongoing basis.

Quite frankly, I wish they'd put the cat back in the bag.

**indiecat** · 08-04-2007, 10:22 AM

Yes, I know the difference between the toolbar PR and the real, continuously-updated PR.

That doesn't change the fact that the toolbar PR export is in progress. And that is what the OP was referring to.

best,
Denise

**ADAM Web Design** · 08-04-2007, 11:11 AM

I understand that too, Denise. And a toolbar PR export update doesn't change the fact that it ultimately means nothing in terms of ranking. As a result, it merits no further discussion since the little green numbers are meaningless.

**ryno33** · 08-06-2007, 06:42 AM

I now have a page rank of n/a from 0/10. What's up with that?

**x3mario** · 08-06-2007, 04:03 PM

You have a PR now but 0, before it is not ranked yet.
