It looks like Google is rolling out a page rank update if the discussions in forums are anything to go by.
Here are a couple of the discussion threads:
What is Page Rank and what does it mean (if anything?) Check out this post I wrote as an introduction to Google Page Rank.
Remember these updates take a day or three to roll out but there are tools around for checking future page rank like this one.

Oh yes, they updated. I noticed a couple of days ago when one of my sites’ traffic levels suddenly dropped to one-fifth of its previous level. This is not good, since that site is responsible for about a third of my AdSense income!

I noticed that some of my sites got de-indexed to quite a large extent. I guess this got something to do with googles recent update. I hope they’ll be back soon. As for pagerank: No changes for me…yet

Look’s like a strange, partial update so far. Or maybe it hasn’t rolled out all the way. Either way, I’m not seeing much.

The page rank update isn’t related to the drop in traffic. Check out:

With Matt Cutts back on Wednesday, I think next weekend is the more likely for a full update. There’s nothing showing even on the Future PageRank tool, and that usually goes haywire during an update. Our Adsense revenues have more than doubled in the past couple of weeks, though, signalling that Google is already using the new PRs under the radar.

Not seeing anything on the toolbar or the future PageRank tool yet either.
Although Darren, my sitemaps account, under crawl stats is showing some low and medium ranks now, and this is a new site with no pagerank yet.

Can anyone anwser a question regarding the PR calculation and outbound links.
If the PR calc looks at the ratio of inward and outbound links then adding Google Adsence Ads on your site couold potentally kill off your PR. Therefore reduce traffic and ultimately destroy any Adsence revence, nobody wins.
Just a crazy though….

I think everyone should just give up on Google page rank.
They are too far between too mean anything.
Now, if it happened every day, it would actually mean something.
Google PR is as useless as an Alexa rank.

Hello
I have a site_map.htm page on my site which contains links to all of the pages on my site. google has indexed the page successfully but when I look at the cached page it is months out of date. google states that the page is a snapshot from a crawl on December 27th 2005 but this cannot be the case as the version shown is months old. i.e. I have updated the site map with several new pages but they aren’t appearing on the cached version.
Any ideas on what the problem is?
Thanks

Updates are happening at longer and longer intervals. Back in 2003, we had monthly updates, then Google turned to updating only 4 times per year, now perhaps 2-3 times per year.
I think the PR will soon be defunct.
We’re loosing time swapping and buying links.
I obtained several very good links on sites listed in Dmoz and other directories. Highly relevant sites, very good links.
And Google didn’t even see those backlinks. Been waiting for 2 years+ now and I don’t think the old G will ever see them.
I think Google is working on a completely new engine that will determine site quality.
I think form now on relevancy will have a higher importance, so it seems is increasingly important to have a large number of new links.

The last Google page rank update I believe was late October of 2007. I would like to assume that they do a PR update every 3 to 5 months. However I do not have enough data to support that to be solid just yet. I am expecting a Google PR update soon.

Hi Darren.
How can we predict that google is updating page ranks? I’d heard though that this year’s Q2 PR update is going to be on July 31st. Is it true? Or has anyone already felt the changes in PR?
Thanks,

I doubt anyone can say when the next Google page rank will take place. I think this is a toy that everyone (likes it or not) play with it. One fact is clear. After the most recent page rank update back in April 2008, I haven’t experienced and change in traffic although the page rank of my sites changed.

It’s a day away from August so we must be getting closer to an update. Although increased doesn’t mean your going to get any more traffic, I think people just like the idea of having some way to publicly show how important their site is. It takes a lot of work to build a good site so it’s only natural to want to be able to measure your efforts. Comparing PR to cars, people love to show off their BMW or Mercedes in the driveway.

Some one said me that the Google PR is algorithmic and as every SEO knows, an easy table from PR3 to PR4 is like this:
1 link on PR2 page = 10 links on PR1 page
1 link on PR3 page = 10 links on PR2 page
1 link on PR4 page = 10 links on PR3 page
1 link on PR5 page = 10 links on PR4 page
Is that right ?
Thanks

It would be interesting if pagerank was brought up to date with little times therefore to wait 3 months excessively and without a doubt time. Same E that pagerank either brought up to date in this period I find that this update would be good if also happened in the tool of webmaster of google.

I do not know if Google updates the pagerank, but I already has over 1 years with a PR4, every time Google does not put it more difficult to attract visitors to our site, Google wants all the web traffic for them, is not just be left to compete and I am trying to get by with Google Adsense.Pero really earn a pittance if you have it 5 to attract more visitors.
