    Back links updating now!

    Just checked my backlinks and found an increase of ten sites. Checked the different data centers and found some of them have updated my site's backlinks. No change in PR though--still at 5.

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, good for you! :)

    Mine haven't changed in what seems like forever ... I even created a topic asking about when? recently.

    Seriously, I'm glad you're seeing some updates and results; hopefully, this will mean more are on the horizon.

    I don't think you'll see a PR update for another month, maybe two, based on Google's past performance so to speak. But then again, who knows ... I was hoping that the Google Days of Grey would shake things up and reset "predictions" and it may yet, but only time will tell, I guess.

    Hope you see more positive changes soon - congrats!

    ~ Good Luck and Happy Ranking ~

    Ooooookay. Google just came by and indexed 100 more pages of one of my sites. However, they also checked backlinks and dropped mine from 59 backlinks to 0, and the PR dropped from 3 to 0. All this happened in maybe the last 4 hours, because this morning it was same as always.

    Now, I should mention this is just on the "non-www" version of my domain. The www version still has 9 backlinks and a PR of 3. It's the non-www version I've been building backlinks to.

    But I have a number of one-way backlinks from people truly interested in my site, and they put the "www" in. Am I supposed to write to these people and thank them, but ask them to please remove the www because Googlebots are not technologically advanced enough to recognize it's the same either way?

    I mean, how many codes of programming would it take to inform Google's spiders that "www" or no "www", it's the same domain?

    I think I officially have to not worry about this in the slightest, because it's so silly.

    site a: from 8xx increase to 13xx (Still PR5)
    site b: from 7xx increase to 15xx (Still PR5)

    but, many backward links from my sites inside.

    It's sort of your problem.

    Actually, they shouldn't have to. You are creating duplicate content because those don't have to be the same by definition, so it is your responsibility to 301 redirect from one to the one you want to market. Otherwise, they eventually figure it out and drop one. It just takes them a while.

    I've got the 301 redirect on there, actually. I put that on all my sites when I first start building.

    Fortunately the numbers went back to normal sometime last night, so I guess it was just a glitch.

    over the last 2-3 weeks my backlinks have been updated at least every two days sometimes twice in one day, does google update some sites more regular than others (prehaps certain industries) just as it visits some sites more frequenlty than others?

    On most of my sites, it looks like both the pagerank numbers and the backlink numbers are going back to what they were right after the big update in April.

    Several of them had gained some backlinks and PR in the little mini-update a few weeks ago, but it's as if those update results are being reversed.

    I'm not worried, because I'm steadily getting more pages indexed and more searches, and that's what really matters. But it is perplexing.

    Keith, I use http://mcdar.net/ (the datacenter q-check).

    Lately, I've also been checking http://www.sitereportcard.com/. When they check your site, you also get a little link popularity check, and it's giving me a different number than any of the datacenters report with McDar. No idea whether this number is more or less accurate than McDar's, but it's one more number to float around in your head driving you batty. :D
