Did Google changed their PR system?

[cache]

I have added dozen PR3 links to 10 of my PR2 sites 3 months ago. However these PR2 sites are still PR2 sites. I would expect higher ranking based on
my past experience. Did google changed their ranking system not counting
high PR links?

I'm not sure how there PR system works and I would imagine it is a work in progress as with most technologies. I have a site that I only added 5 links from other sites to, and of those 5 only one had PR1. When the new GooglePR update came out my site went from a 0 to a PR3. Must have been the content.

Well If you add 10,000 PR 2 backlinks then also it is not going to increase the PR of your site.

As far as I know it used to be PR4 + sites that were counted. And it was atleast 18 backlinks to be eligible for PR.

Plus if you Put your link on PR 3 page. And that page has more then one link of yours. then you don't get enough Boost.

I am confised too, everytime i think my sites are up for atleast pr 4 or plus, they just keep there at 0, i am tired of SEO now

it updates every 100 days. Thats when you should see a change in your sites pr if it deserves it.

i think its more quality than quantity, one PR6 link is worth 8 PR5 links which is worth 8 PR4 links ...

so one very high pr link is worth 100 or 1000 of lowly pr links

oh look im selling pr6 links! check out my sig for some pagerank boosting links

Google is constantly doing tweaks to the PR system. In my opinion, there are some errors in it because I have seen really unpopular bad websites have a HIGH pr.

It's not so, that google has chaned it's algorithms. To see changes on your website it will take time. this is general prospective. and you have to exchange link with hig page rank in order to get good results.

i believe that it counts the quality more than quantity
and the content of the sites....
fresh content ... good quality content ..

this is completely incorrect

content has no effect on pagerank

 

[Scolls]

Well, the way I understand PR is it's a measure of the probability of your site being encountered by any regular surfer.

So it would seem that while content itself shouldn't affect PR, but only backlinks, surely people would be more inclined to link to a page with great content rather than an "empty" page?

Great plug :P

PR is actually based on the quality of your BACK LINKS, which means you can add as many high PR links out from your site as you want, but without a recipricol link you arn't going to see any boost. It is my personal belief that sites that link to each other will see a higher boost than one that has some good back links but none outward.

You guys cant just go by PR. It is not very accurate. It may tell you something and give you a guide on a value of a website, but there are so many other factors that you need to consider like potential traffic from the links, does that site rank for their keywords, it is related to your website, is that site banned, is it indexed well, are they using a no follow or other redirect in the link and so much more.

I have seen sites that are PR0 have top rankings for great keywords and sites with PR6 have no rankings.

 

[softgroups]

google is not random ... you guys have no seo experience here let me tell you something, google usualy don't take in consideration pages that aren't in google cache in all datacenters. You known , supllmental results or pages that have no "google cache"

also google didn't made a update in the last months... +++ in the last update, it only updated the "new pages" only. Usualy, the old website where remaining at the old PR they got... However people who had an "inflated PR" from the previons update lost theyre PR.... Most SEO said that "this is a PR correction not an PR update"

Also I don't really known how is google doing it.... but it just don't count links from "web directories" or from pages that only have a big list of URLS ... I got around 500 backlinks from pr4-PR6 web lists... and no change in SERPs for 2 months... lol, then i searched for some site-wide backlinks (in some real website) and i moved up in 1 week

I thought it works the other way around (the opposite is true). Am I correct?
