  • Yup - I'm seeing too. It seems that it is indeed doing a rollback. PR7 became PR6 during the last update. Now it is back to PR7. Very strange!

  • Google PR rollback reason is less traffic and changes in quality content.
  • Interestingly Google traffic increased since this morning for my sites since the PR rollback. :-)

    • Did you have any content that ended up being duplicated?
  • I have not seen any change in PR or significant change in traffic really. My site dig raise 1 PR in the last update though.

  • I hadn't noticed this, I'll keep an eye out though thanks.

    Apparently PR adjustments aren't a big deal at all to Google (as they shouldn't really be to us either). This is a WAY old article (2006) from Matt Cutts' blog, but I think this quote should still prove relevant:

    "In the past few months, people have noticed when an engineer grabs an obscure data center and tinkers around with things like backlinks or info: queries (e.g. when “Update Pluto” got downgraded because it was just an engineer tinkering at one data center). So I figured I’d let people know that this was a real PageRank export and not just one person doing something."

    I guess that this could just be some guy making small changes at an "obscure data center"...
  • All of my websites have rolled back as well. I'm interested in what's going on.
  • Yes, Google provide PR to websites, But now google PR decrease.
    First is no one perfect.
    Second is google have not a same traffic ...
  • I didn't notice any change

    • There is some sort of change for sure. I have over 100+ sites with PR and I can confirm this.

      The thing that I'm noticing is that websites that gained PR that had PR0 have kept the PR while my sites that lost a PR have reverted back.

      Good catch!
  • My PR addon in firefox was incompatable with v5 of firefox so I no longer even look at PR. Any suggestions for a different addon.

    • I use SEOquake.
    • I always recommend SearchStatus for Firefox & SEO Quake.
  • I just notice it today. My HomePage of my site increased from a 1 to PR 2, but now it dropped back to a 1 again. Google needs to quit teasing us!
  • I dropped 1 last week but now it's back to normal so go figure, probably a glitch.
  • Same here. One of my sites have been reinstated PR3. The other rose to PR3.

    Strange is thy name, thy ways...Dear Google!
  • maybe they fired Mr Panda for screwing things up and realized what an utter mess he made. Even googles PR went to PR9 in the last update and now its back at 10.

    What were they thinking!
  • yes, i also saw this changing in my site pr

  • This is a PR update alright. The issue is whether it is using an older data set than the one on June 27th.
  • Things seem to have stabilized today. I was watching it jump around for awhile.

    Happily, traffic, which is most important, is still clicking along as expected.
  • One of my site's PR down to 0 in last update and it came back to 3 today. Odd.

    • yes i can see changes. my two site's pr change from 0 to 1.

  • I noticed some sites jumped up in pr more than expected, ie a pr2 to a pr6. Not that it isn't totally possible but some sites I had a hard time believing that would stick. Then, after the july 18th they were brought back to a pr2. I think google was a little too generous to some sites. There was also a few sites with opposite results. A popular pr6 reduced to a pr5. Then, after july 18th it was back to a pr6. And after seeing Google reduced to a pr9 after the june 27th update I figured we would see an update, tweak, or correction.
  • OK. Now I'm really confused. Has anyone seen an un-roll-back today???

  • When they reset the PR levels to what they were before the last update. Highly unusual.

  • Yes, there are updates happening around datacenters of google since last two months or so, looks like they are on the constant updating mode rather than once in a while mode.

    • the PR on 2 of my domains changed for 1 day but they are back to where they were before the update...
  • Yes, I also see this its PR roll-back because of Google changes its algorithm for checking PR rank of websites.
    The original PageRank algorithm was described by Lawrence Page and Sergey Brin in several publications. It is given by
    PR(A) = (1-d) + d (PR(T1)/C(T1) + ... + PR(Tn)/C(Tn))
    where
    PR(A) is the PageRank of page A,
    PR(Ti) is the PageRank of pages Ti which link to page A,
    C(Ti) is the number of outbound links on page Ti and
    d is a damping factor which can be set between 0 and 1.
