I'm seeing it here. I wonder if all the talk about this update somehow being different will come true.

[powerofeyes]

I am seeing it live in www now, My site PR6 and some client sites PR7 woohoo,

[Aji]

it was a mix for me , some went up, some went down

[LPan82]

Mine just updated today. I have a "cache" in google now too. My PR got bumped up, and my backlinks were updated... A LOT! The wait was worth it. Hope you guys have the same luck as I

Wow, I thought I couldn´t believe my eyes when I entered my site and saw PR6 on the bar. But, all of my pages except the homepage lost their PR. I hope there is something still going on here. My ranking in Google didn´t change by now, hope there will be some improvement too.

Something I have noticed with our new site (5 months) is that Google has dropped 25% of the incoming links to our site, but the PR has gone up.

I have to say that this is a little misleading as we have about 200 backlinks in place from one source or another, but PR went up, and displayed backlinks went down (I actually removed some links from a site that we no longer provide design or optimisation support for as they have moved to France and have taken it in house).

I think that G is shifting the weight away from link volume, and toward link relevancy. What does everyone else see?

Yes Yes! Lots of good news!

0 to 4
4 to 5
4 to 5
3 to 5
5 to 6

Woo Hoo! Only bad thing is I had one that was a PR2 and still seems to be a PR 2... Anyone know if this update is still in progress?????

[ephricon]

I think that G is shifting the weight away from link volume, and toward link relevancy. What does everyone else see?

I agree 100%. I have a site that went from PR5 to PR6 and Google is only showing like 7 incoming links from sites other than itself (total of 20).

To my knowledge I have very rarely seen a PR 6 sites with so few links shown in Google...

I'm seeing a lot of the changes being related to internal PR. On one client site, the PR went up to 6 (I think it had been 4). This is a site that hasn't been touched in about a year, but the PR boost to the home page filtered down to the internal pages, bringing their PR up high enough that they now count as backlinks. So the backlinks on that site jumped from 34 to 77, because it's displaying so many of its own pages as backlinks.

On my own site there were no changes at all. Nothin'. The other site I run (Anna's) shows no change in backlinks, but the PR went up a point, probably because of the directory I added filtering everything back up to the home page. I've gotten the site a few new backlinks in the past couple of months, but none of them are showing.

Another client site made a big jump -- backlinks about doubled and PR, which was greybarred before the previous update and 4 after the last one is now 5. And 13 of those backlinks (exactly half of the number reported) are all from a site that's displaying an ad (and I don't even mean a text ad!) on a number of pages.

Let's see... another client made a huge jump, apparently just because we've redirected their second domain to their main one, so their DMOZ and Yahoo listings are counting. That boosted their PR from 4 to 6, so internal pages are now showing up as backlinks.

Happy days are here again.

Two of my sites have gone up

0 to 5
4 to 5

[OldWelshGuy]

Backlinks, PR, change, that seems to have been the way of things with G for he last few months. I wonder what they will do this month to try and get rid of directories? However if internal PR is being valued more, then we are simply going to see directory after directory in the SERP's more and more often.

[Grumpus]

This is a weird update, I'll say that for sure.

Our new blog has 200+ inbound links. (Up from zero since it's new). Yet, only 17 pages contain the term?

In the past, even if the "term" <url> didn't appear on the page, if it was a part of the anchor, pages would show.

Odd.

[discountdomains]

This has been a strange update.

I have nearly 400 pages getting a PR > 4/10 for the first time.

But instead of my backlinks going up by 400, they have gone down by 150.

My SERPS seems to be the same.

Not sure what the significance of this is?

Curious indeed. As of yesterday my homepage and that of my main distributor have gone from PR4 to 5, as has another related dealer site (not yet linked to me).

However, the results of my main 2-word key-phrase searches have not changed, making me wonder if the importance of PR is diminishing.
