Pagerank Update: Any news, theories of rumors as to why it is soo late.

Nobody knows when the next Google Pagerank update will happen, but it is expected in this month or July of 2013. The last one was 4 February 2013.

Google is super secret about all of their algorithm work. Nobody really knows when things will get updated so all you can do is wait and see.

For the upteenth time: Google update PR every day and incorporate that PR into the ranking algorithm every day.

All we get in the toolbar is a useless historical snapshot of that internal PR that they choose to export to amuse us. By the time we see it, it old and has already been incorporated into the search rankings.
...and for that exact reason, is why they only give us that useless historical snapshot of the the internal PR

Lol guys, the page rank update can be tomorrow, why so many words on this?

Thought I will start a similar thread. However, I have no idea...

Some people claimed that they PR increased/decreased in the middle of May: Google PageRank Update Start

I'm waiting PR update since I have bunch of PR4-PR6 domains/sites that I want to sell, but I'm not 100% sure that the PR will stick as it is. Don't want to be accused by selling "fake PR" domains on flippa.

The later the better I would say, updates always only cost me money as there are always some drops here and there and then I need to add new sites to the network.

I want the update to happen soon so I can continue to build my network. :-D I'm holding off on new purchases until then - - I can't say I'm an expert on PageRank yet to trust my current PR guesses based on the backlink profile...!

Domain brokers must be getting very annoyed! Or happy if they're selling dud PR sites.

I think it would be in the next FEW days.. More than 4 months.. This is really strange and I don't think it would come July before a PR update happens!

I also am looking forward to have increased page rank of my site. But I don`t know when it will happen. Thank you.

Nothing really all that unusual. They have gone nearly a year before without a PR update rolled out.

I noticed some sites changed PR right around the Penguin update. Never heard anyone saying anything about an update though, but I had 5 sites change PR either the day of or day after Penguin 2.0 rolled out. That or my records were all wrong and I recorded the wrong PR for those sites in the first place. Doubt that I screwed up 5 of them though.

On May 4th they handed out PR penalties. They also likely updated their internal PR around that time.

I heard PR update will be this month, 25th-27th. Grain of salt though...

If Google wants to end the obsession with backlinks so bad they should eliminate the green toolbar once and for all.

The PR bar has a lot to do with linking practices they now claim are against their guidelines.

I know a guy that knows another guys barber, he said that he heard PR updated on April 1st.

I would really not like to be dependent for the full 100% on SEOmoz / Majestic or Ahrefs.

I mean I have PR1 domains with a Mozrank of 3+, go figure.

And Ahrefs rank is definitely as unreliable as it can get, sites with Ahrefs rank of 800+ are PR0 domains.

The only one that I put some faith & trust in is Majestic still, their combination of Trust Flow and Citation Flow is pretty spot on and the closer they are to each other the more reliable the stats seem.

So that's what I would do, run the filters through Majestic first and then afterwards use Spyglass to see if the links still exist.

Not sure if people are aware of Netpeak Checker but man, that tool is worth it's weight in gold for sure, it pulls stats from everywhere.

That video is scaring me. Should not have watched it before going to bed.

If PR stopped being updated some 3rd party metrics would become the standard. Its been heading that way for some time. Anybody serious about link building is already using other metrics to determine domain and link strength. It would really take very little time before people were selling mozrank or something instead of page rank. No biggie.

I think with acess to MOZ and DA and PA ratings we can work out the quality of backlinks for the SEO marketers.

I myself dont look so much at PR anymore so waiting for an update im not that bothered.

I think it is late due the updates that happened. According to them they took first a link network out. Later on Penguin 2.0 rolled out and a bit later there was also a unconfirmed update. It would not be logical to do an update just before all those changes.

Same as it won't be logical to remove Pagerank now while a little while back they were talking about enough people using it blablabla. In just 4 months that complete user base etc is gone? Hard to believe.....

It will be late this time, Google is too busy in making Google Search Result Crappy

Well Mike i see you are the one who come harsh on the newbies here who post their predictions about PR update and today you asking for same!

Only Google knows about the next PR update. But I don't think there is no need to think too much about that unless you sell links.

Yeah - agreed. It just seems too easy to just look at PR and benefit. PR will still exist, just not put on a plate for us every few months.

Oh, I just remembered. I can show you an example of when PR focusing goes wrong. Seeing that Google woke up and pulled the domain out of GoDaddy auction against my $80 Only (Bidder) Bid.

GStatic.com Was in GoDaddy auctions a couple of weeks ago. GStatic has a PR 3 hompage.
Anyone know who GStatic is?

A Google owned domain. Want to see its link profile?



$80, I was the only bid. I don't trust PR alone. Too many other things going on.

No updates on pagerank yet?

Google updates pr everyday

A great combo move by Google - dropping PR updates and dropping public availability of the Adwords Keyword Tool. Nice!

That's why I said public availability - you will have to sign up to use the planner.

Can anyone explain to me why pagerank is important? I've given up on it ages ago.

Seriously, what is the point of this post?

How do you know that it "might be in July?"

Just for the record. Two domains I published - one in May one in June - do show PR0 on the home pages.

It will be nice if they'll fix the bug that allows URLs to get the PR of the URL they are redirected to. This will vanish a very large market of fake PR domains used for spammy purposes.

Think of it this way: the fact that Google is delaying this should tell you that they don't see it as prominent anymore.

Focus on high quality, relevant content.

"Google is currently running a “multi-week” rollout of an update that will continue until the week after July 4th. "
So July 11-12 might be the new speculated date

Google is going to take their 'Fool's Gold' away finally.

maybe you can mention mattcutts on twitter , and ask him directly

Last year they were gone mad and their consecutive updates really messed my entire site works, and now this year it's totally silent. Probably they're cooking sea food :p

I have a feeling that Google will do something about it tomorrow.

Expected in July. But no one can be sure why it is getting so late. Just one thing I can tell you is everyone is waiting for it!

My point is that the G adwords tool will disappear for all those that cannot get an Adwords account or have already blown theirs out of the water. All KW tools that rely on the adwords tool will also be decimated. I understand and recognise that the keyword tool is valuable, what I'm posing is the fact that it will disappear for many once Google bring about their change to the planner tool. Mike F and Mike A you must realise that I'm just bringing up worst case scenarios here. What is about to happen could be devastating to some of this community. (It will be welcomed by others). I also still believe that things can go on without access to the tool. It's not very accurate and it misses a lot. If folks could get their heads around keyword research WITHOUT RELYING on this kw tool, they'd find themselves in a better position going forward. What I've always been banging on about is RELYING on this tool... I highly doubt that either of you RELY on it. Of course, it's worth using to the full when it's available. It's just not looking like it's gonna be available to some in the near future.

Still not here yet?

My Page rank finally posted... unless it's a bug or something. My site is 3 months old.

just waiting to see any update by google, I hope everything will be fine and will not effect much as it did the last time.

bleh, nevermind.. looks like my toolbar bugged out. =(

So, still no?

PAGE RANK depends upon many factors other than traffic and YES Google is unpredictable.

These days most of the webmasters do not really bother about the page ranks. But the page ranks are still a good measure when it comes to getting links and getting paid advertisments. for blogs, a higher page rank will ensure more sponsored posts and more revenue.

For webmasters NOT doing Internet Marketing thing, PageRank is also a good measure of the quality of the website and it's popularity. I even use the PRChecker toolbar for when I'm browsing the web for personal reasons which have nothing to do with IM or link building.

PR can't go anywhere; and if it does, Google will introduce a substitute short after that.

And we people are after page rank, any general internet users may not have knowledge about it..

However, page rank is important thing as of now..... it works when you are going to buy/sell links, web sites..

If you have a service/business website and it has NA pr then people wouldn't trust you..
