PR Update is running

[govindseo]

Hi all,
You know google page rank update is going on right now. Some of my blogs moves up from PR 0 to pr 2. And my main site got PR4 to PR5.

Share your experience with this current google PR update here

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing. Looks like this PR Update has very fresh values.
I have setup a blog on the 5th of September (this month) and my toolbar shows PR4. Or is my toolbar messing up?

I'm not sure I totally trust toolbar but my homepage has just gone from pr3 to 4 - and all my new internal pages, previously pr0, now all show pr4.

I can only confirm that the PR values exported are not older than 3 weeks old.

I got PR bump today from 3 to 4.
Went to check backlinks using google link:
I have some "crap" sites linking to me.
But in webmaster tool a lot of good well known sites.

Why google shows "bad" sample of backlinks

Have you seen changes in your backlinks after/during this update

Thank you

I am trying to figure out where we went wrong with Google...

We had a "homegrown" ecommerce site Greatrooms.net that had a PR of 4 a few years back. We then switched to a hosted shopping cart so that we could expand, track orders, inventory, etc. We dropped to a 3.

Then we got a new cart provider in the spring and installed it on another URL that we had been planning to switch to -- GreatRoomsDecor.com -- had them both running while we populated the new site with products. Once the new site was up, we did a redirect from the old to the new home page, plus a few internal page redirects. We just recently (about a month or so ago) made that redirect a permanent 301, realize we probably should have done that from the beginning. With the new site, we started with a 3, then dropped to a 2. This weekend, we dropped further to 1.

So, what are we doing wrong? We actually got our new site listed in dmoz in June or July(something we never had with the old site) on a page with a PR of 4. We also submitted the new site to a number of other directories, and in the last 2 weeks began a reciprocal link campaign, adding maybe a couple of links a day. We don't buy links, we only link with related sites and can't figure out what we may be doing wrong -- why would our PR go down after a dmoz listing and more incoming links?

Any help or guidance would be much appreciated! I am not a pro at this, just trying to run a small business, I have read these forums for a few years now trying to learn what I don't know in this area.

This is obviously your problem: Supplemental Index Ratio Calculator

I'm up from a Google penalty, due to duplicate content, to a PR of 2 on the homepage. My second most important page has moved up to PR1.

This is on a site that was unfindable 60 days ago.

What do you mean with penalty?

The site had a "Google penalty" due to duplicate content; there were actually THREE copies of the same material on line. This was due to bad housekeeping by their IT Department. It Page Rank when eventually found was " - ".

he site was UN-findable, that is it could not be found by searching. The Google penalty took it out of the top five hundred search return placements.

Can you explain how the page was searched and not have been found? At least an example?
