Hi James,

I didn't know you could "feel" the little green line.

Real page rank is updated constantly. What you see on the toolbar is simply a snapshot in time of where the PageRank was at some point in the recent past. It is not indicative of your pages traffic or ranking on SERPs, therefore it has little meaning in SEO.

Unfortunately, it really is only important to people who are buying and selling the little green line. It is a gimmick that captures the fascination of thousands of people and con artist use it as a method to get people to part with their money based on the length of the little green line.

Trust me when I tell you that SEO professionals ignore it (except when they sense that their client has the little green line fever

).

eukristian · 09-27-2008, 05:40 AM

yeah , my PR of my 1 month old website was increased by 1.

dvduval · 09-27-2008, 07:12 AM

Looks like I need to stop using Chrome so I can check pagerank for my sites.

Lambert Klein · 09-27-2008, 09:15 AM

I was surprised that I got a PR 2. Mine domain is only 28 days old. That's the fasted for me!

Maybe the tips I'm learning here is paying off.

Lambert

captivereef · 09-27-2008, 09:44 AM

yeah from 3 to 2 but i tend to ignore it

Amy Bass · 09-27-2008, 09:48 AM

My sales page for The Niche Blogger got a PR 2 and it has only been up since Aug 25th! That's a first for any of my sales pages ever.

Emailrevealer · 09-27-2008, 11:32 AM

One of my blogs is up to 3 and its only about 45 days old. It's doing better than muy older blogs.

lianwei · 09-27-2008, 11:55 AM

Ha.. To join in the fun.. My PR went from unranked to 3 in a month. I hope that is a good thing.

Adding to that, I have a question for anyone who is reading this...

What is the relationship between a good PR and a good search engine ranking?

Because my friend's blog ranked first for a particular keyword and he only has PR2 while mine just got PR3 and still not on the first page.

Please advise...

dvduval · 09-27-2008, 04:29 PM

My homepage stayed the same but I added one new PR 7 internal, quite a few PR 6 pages. I was also happy to see individual forum and post urls getting pagerank again.

jensrsa · 09-27-2008, 06:46 PM

I'm not going to argue with Google but ...

One of my sites started on 3 Sept went to PR4 and another to PR3

Ryan79 · 09-27-2008, 10:11 PM

My article directory went to PR3 from 0 although it has been online 1 month ago

johdue · 09-28-2008, 12:17 AM

my site also get ranked last Google update.

Yeah that's one reason I still us Firefox - why doesn't Google have Google Toolbar for Chrome?

niraj11122 · 09-28-2008, 11:44 AM

I got PR 2 from PR 3 felling bed this is my site SEO Friendly Directory

Marhelper · 09-28-2008, 11:52 AM

I have not seen much of a difference.

Barbara Eyre · 09-28-2008, 01:55 PM

None of my sites, nor my clients, have moved at all ... just checked since I saw this thread ... despite all the seo work.

Are you sure there was a change ????

nadim · 09-28-2008, 02:43 PM

Im still new with this, and my first webpage launch page is rank 1/10 so i guess im doing something right, that makes my site a pr1 correct or am im mixing this up.

Yes it does, but PR1 is the lowest score on the scale, where 10 is the highest.

nadim · 09-28-2008, 02:53 PM

well for being only a couple of days old and for it being on paragraph i guess its a start =D

halille · 09-28-2008, 03:18 PM

Hi

all my PR5 and PR4 didn't moved,
a lot of Directories were affected during the last months,

so i'll update my High PR list and keep you informed, to see if there is some change on the PR

Halille

scene4u · 09-28-2008, 04:58 PM

I have managed to increase one of my sites from page rank 1 to 4. So weird because I had stopped doing any work on that site because it was not making me much money. Page rank does not really mean much but at least shows I must have been doing something right.

trade queen · 09-28-2008, 05:26 PM

Google seems to be very generous this month

trade queen · 09-28-2008, 05:27 PM

My site have not changed.How long will I wait untill i know if there was nay change at all?Thanks

I dont have clue asweell for what exactly is that......but i think Google have something todo with that either my position become bad or either it is a phase to get more rank position even better.

No have clue.

SEOAly · 09-29-2008, 12:36 PM

Google's recent PR update resulted in the home page of my site, SEOAly, jumping from no toolbar PR (not PR0, but no PR registering in the toolbar) to a toolbar value of PR3. A pleasant surprise to find on a Monday morning.

Sleaklight · 09-29-2008, 12:50 PM

Link Building Done Easy - EZLinkBuilding.com went from PR0 to PR1
Sexual Problems Have Solutions! - WeeWeeSlap.com stayed at PR2 but the subpages went from PR2 to PR1

and two of the pages went PR 0 to PR1

CoasterCrazy.com remains unchanged

gbh1935 · 09-29-2008, 07:40 PM

I had a 2 month old site go up and a 5 year old site go down 1.... not much else moved yet...

tommyp · 09-29-2008, 09:42 PM

I haven't noticed a change in mine but even if it went or goes down I don't really care too much. I have sites with higher rankings with minimal work than sites that are older and higher PR. I've never noticed it really make a difference but maybe there is something to it.

websitetraffic · 09-29-2008, 11:16 PM

That is one of the most important tips to get high page rank in google search results which will help your site well....

Tuzic · 09-30-2008, 09:14 AM

hi,

no i didnt feel anything in the little green line that bears so much significance.

websitetraffic · 09-30-2008, 11:42 PM

That is one of the most important tips

amylimcd · 10-01-2008, 09:02 AM

On one of my sites, I went up a PR (from 2- to 3) - it happened after I submitted the site to the Yahoo Directory - not sure if this was the reason.

TeamGlobal · 10-01-2008, 04:31 PM

This was a good update for me PR wise. 90% of my sites went up in PR.

All The Best,

Tony

Finally some sanity about PR..

Yet still, no matter how many times you tell people or clients this, it seems to never quite get through the hype they've had drilled in their heads.

Dave

tim_buchalka · 10-01-2008, 09:19 PM

Have to agree with that, I never pay much attention to pagerank.

I did notice a domain I bought brand new 22 days ago has PR4's on most pages which is nice, but in line with my expectations.

Yes the little green line (or in my case the text, as I like numbers) is way overrated, but a bit of fun as well.

Cheers

Fender85 · 10-06-2008, 03:19 PM

Yeah, the green bar is overrated. As was mentioned at the top of this thread, PR is updated (likely) daily, it's just that Google only updates the "toolbar PR" for us once every few months - it's their way of keeping us from being able to more easily test ways to influence (ok, MANIPULATE! lol) PR.

Now one thing of interest is that although there have been some PR shifts (for the worse - ie, PR4 to PR3), traffic doesn't seem to have been affected. I mean if PR is so important, then losing PR would mean losing rankings, and losing traffic.

So although toolbar PR drops have been noticed, most are still pulling in consistent traffic (over 3-4 month periods - going back of course, to account for the delay in when Google updates the toolbar PR), which would lead us to believe that perhaps PR isn't so important anymore, after all.

shardul2050 · 10-06-2008, 08:16 PM

this was an unexpected PR update. It didn't make much difference for me. Just one of my sites went from PR3 to PR4.

The average PageRank of every site on the web must drop over time or the expanding number of links on the web (new pages being created every single second every single day) would cause everyone to eventually reach PR10. In other words, as the web grows, the link popularity needed to reach each "PR level" on the toolbar increases.

So a drop in PR doesn't necessarily mean *any* change except a larger field of competition.

Neil S · 10-09-2008, 12:36 PM

Yep my website went from 0 to 2. Finally I can see some of the work paying off.

MX3 · 10-12-2008, 11:15 AM

It's interesting that so many people still care about that green little bar

In the end it doesn't really matter at all as Google doesn't really rank sites using the green bar. You can verify this easily by searching for any word - most times you will see sites with a lower PR ranking higher than sites with a higher PR.

As was mentioned at the top of this thread, PR is updated (likely) daily, it's just that Google only updates the "toolbar PR" for us once every few months - it's their way of keeping us from being able to more easily test ways to influence (ok, MANIPULATE! lol) PR. Now one thing of interest is that although there have been some PR shifts (for the worse - ie, PR4 to PR3), traffic doesn't seem to have been affected. I mean if PR is so important, then losing PR would mean losing rankings, and losing traffic. So although toolbar PR drops have been noticed, most are still pulling in consistent traffic (over 3-4 month periods - going back of course, to account for the delay in when Google updates the toolbar PR), which would lead us to believe that perhaps PR isn't so important anymore, after all.

You can verify this easily by searching for any word - most times you will see sites with a lower PR ranking higher than sites with a higher PR.
