Google PR update started - youtube.com at PR3 !!!
 

Wow, looks like some serious changes this time, losses all over the board and I can prodly claim to own sites with more PR than youtube...:winkwink:

Looks like the vast majority of sites, especially established ones, lost PR. -1, -2 and more.

Well, fine as long as rankings stay as they are, fuck PR, but I'm pretty surprised, looks like link sellers really pissed google off. Maybe not the final PR, but what you can see so far is really funny.

PR is quite overrated imho.

I lost a ton of PR across the board

PR is not important as earlier
good IN links and content more important...

it's not easy to move up pharmashop as 1-2 years ago...

100% agreed, but some people think PR is everything and pay alot for high PR links...so this could definately hurt, even if rankings stay as they are.

So people's PR's have dropped, how much traffic have you lost is the real question.

Not important?

Did you know that in 90% of the cases, a PR decrease is directly linked to a decrease in SE traffic??

And I am not saying this.. google does..

WTF??

Youtube is PR8 for me... Check again..

PR3 at http://www.checkpagerank.com/

It was PR3 for several hours, no joke.

It's still ongoing, so you certainly can't say anything final and maybe it was just a glitch, but basically 80% of the sites I had checked via http://livepr.raketforskning.com went down by 1, 2 or even more.

checking all mine so far I'm happy ! mainstream sites went up. Some PR5 pages as well on blog posts even though the index page is pr4. Gotta love those people that link to your posts :)

Some seriously stupid stuff going on right now. Pretty much every site that I had that PR1 or PR0 is not PR2. It is like PR2 is the new PR0. even domains that have been in the google doghouse for 5 plus years are suddenly showing PR2 or better.

It's funny, and proof that PR probably means little or nothing in the overall scope of things.

yeah I lost some stuff too. I had a couple of nice blogs at pr3 one went to pr2 and the other or pr1. so far they still have rank in the serps so the pr changes hasn't effected much. I'm curious to see if that changes over the next few days.

I don't think so, pretty sure the rankings won't change much, since it's just an export of data to the toolbar, but it hurts the PR link sellers and that's probably what google intended.

lots of my sites gained +1 +2 PR with this update (a gallery listing site even got a PR4). but for some reason it looks like traffic from G is down a bit....

YT shows up as PR3 for me too.

That was kind of what I was thinking. I know they were getting ready to crack down on that type of stuff. What better way to do it than lower overall PR.

All my sites seem to have lost -1 in PR. :/

a bunch went from 3 to 0 a few months ago. today 0 to 2 one. had nothing to do with traffic .... why does everyone bitch about page rank. you won't get trades on thunderballs? ... if you check it on 5 different sites including the little green bar on your browser its always different

fuck.. lots of -1 pr on my sites too

Yeah.. I had a site that gets almost zero traffic.. not even 40 visits a day all of a sudden bounce from a 0 to a 2. That makes no sense because there's no way that site should be a 2.

traffic is stable, but my blog went from 4 to 3... damn

LOL youtube is PR3 here for me now

Not fucking LOL

my newly bought PR5 domain is now PR2!!!!!!!!!1

Some down... some up

The only similarities I could find for those who lost most: Loads of outgoing links.

it might look bad to someones but it will make more sense in future I guess...

you mean that most sites that lost PR are linkfarm?

PageRank idiots .. you know nothing about fucking PR, really.

Mistakenly, What info Google have about www.youtube.com is URL https://youtube.com/watch?v=CULmwgsX29M .. which is actually PR3.

For historical purpose:

I am not in mood to explain how this can happen, but for you and me .. if this ever happen, we will need to remove permanent redirect (from homepage to internal page or another domain) and wait for next PR update to show original PR. But, since youtube is owned by Google .. they will fix this as soon as they find.

Ok, I gave ya a topic to blog about ...

hint: linkbait :winkwink:

We took it pretty hard most of our blogs are back to PR2-3, did have some go up.

woohoooo only two sites drops pr, other +-60 goes up, very nice to see ... ;)

that's pure BS!

my PR went up and I am getting a lot more google traffic.

My site's PR went up but no traffic from Google :(

"the shows not over till the fat bloke sings" or in this case the google dance is over. check your pr's in 2 weeks time then start moaning or not!

WTF are you talking about??

Youtube is PR3... You want to BET??

I bet you 1 million dollars that Youtube is PR3...

Come on Coward...

You are so retard, like 99% of usa coward soldiers...

IDIOT.. How can someone be so stupid like u...

Who fucking cares?

YouTube is not going to lose a single viewer because they dropped to a PR3.

I had sites that went up, some went down, and I'm still making the same dollar amount with the same amount of overall traffic. Google PR can suck on my balls.
