Google PageRank and Backlink update

[OgieOgalthorpe]

Google is updating both pagerank and backlinks on select datacenters. At this time, I am seeing the new results on 66.102.11.99.

For most of my sites, PR seems to have decreased by 1.

Interesting, Nothing happening on any of mine yet.....

 

[OgieOgalthorpe]

Well, I am pretty sure that the two sites in your sig have gone from PR0 (yesterday) to PR 4 and 3 respectively.

Hmm still showing PR 0 here so maybe its not updated my end yet....

Thanks for the insight though.

You need to make a change to your hosts file - add the following line:

66.102.11.99 toolbarqueries.google.com

Damn you lost me now.... Could you explain how i do this?

If you are using Windows NT/2k/XP, open file explorer and go to:

C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc

or

C:\Winnt\System32\Drivers\Etc

There should be a file named "hosts". Open it with notepad, add the line mentioned above and save it. Re-open IE and you should see updated PR. Once the PR update is propagated, change the hosts file by adding a "#" to comment out the line.

Just checked the site with one of my sites thats been up for 1 1/2 months - what do's it mean if 66.102.11.99 and 66.102.11.104 have a PR4 and the others are 0?

 

[OgieOgalthorpe]

It likely means that an update has started and Google will eventually propagate it across all datacenters. This PR update is probably related to the SERP update we had about 2 weeks ago.

Decal, use the Future Pagerank tool linked above.

wasn't aware of this "future tool" which is neat.. thanks for sharing!

how soon will the updates/changes before they are up and running, globally?

none of my sites decreased pr, went up +1 actually... and as for a few existing sites that i had just put up a few weeks ago... all of them jumped up to 3, a few to 4 and even 5.

Mmm, PR2 -> PR3

I haven't changed a thing in months, no changes in links or anything and I had some jump to 5 and one drop to 4. It gives me this hopeless feeling that I'll never figure this stuff out.

 

[GT Web]

GTRides.com went down from PR4-PR3

My other two sites went from PR0-PR2

 

[stoned]

All my domains went up by two ! . Is it to late to start getting more links?

 

[eSology]

It is never to late to continue to build on your domains back links but for this round of updates I would say "yes".

 

[DeCal]

I'm looking for as many links as i can get. Can return the favour with links from a strong PR 5 site. PM/Email if interested

If you have a decent amount of pages indexed by Google, you might want to try www.coop-network.info

You put up a small piece of code on your site and you start showing links. Your links are show on other sites. It is really amazing, and they have a huge forum where you can ask any question you might have.

Great way to advertise your site.
