There’s a lot of buzz going around in some of the SEO forums that there was a Google PageRank Update. There was an update, but it was not a PageRank update. The update that you are seeing is a backlink update. Google hasn’t issued a major update for its toolbar since April 3. I would hate to cry wolf here, but I am seeing many changes that would indicate that the update may come soon and I mean before the end of August.
The next Pagerank update will be the first since the launch of Caffeine and the newest update since April 3. I have learned recently that some SEO enthusiasts are indicating they are seeing changes in SERP (Search Engine Results Page) the last few weeks. I just hope it’s in their favor. We will have to wait patiently for this next update and hopefully for many web owners, it will be to their liking.
Always remember, that content is most important, as it tends to have an excellent effect of both increasing your one-way in-bound links (people will more than likely link to sites they find interesting, informative, or helpful), thereby improving your PageRank.
I am now off to chat with my SEO community to see what other goodies I can find about Google.
If you’re seeing any changes to Pagerank, please comment here.

When is the next Google Pagerank Update?
Last night I looked at my page rank of my blog and I went from 0 to 3. I don’t know when they updated the page rank, but it is cool. Thanks Greg Ellison
Greg,
I have seen this before where people would see a change on their homepage and the next day it changes back to the original rank. I have confirmed you do have a PR 3.
I hope it will really be for web owners liking. Thanks for the info and enjoy your chat.
Andrew,
It was a boring chat and pretty dull at that. I was hoping for a little new, but received null.
I found it is very hard to get higher PR once you have PR3, since working (SEO) on my site in March, nothing happened yet. Hope google can update its PR database soon :)
For increasing your web page rank you should have patience, this issue requires a great effort, hard work and be sure that you’ll see the improvement so it doesn’t matter how often Google update it.
That it does Mr. Cigarettes. As that your real name? or are you using it for your title tag :)
Great news, before the end of August would be awesome!
I’ve seen changes in PR on inner pages- not the home page.
Minor updates, and like perryp said, only inner pages, no home page has been updated. i talked with other guys on Warrior forums and they all experienced this! So, no major PR update for Caffeine yet…
Zarko,
That is true and there still hasn’t been a major update.
My blogs are without any changes.
PR Upate have to come soon. The last was already a long time ago.
my site’s isn’t changed. are there any problem?
There has been no major update yet since April 3, 2010.
Well it takes so long this time,
does anyone know why?
Only Google knows when, that’s what is frustrating.
I have a blogspot blog where I posted very little, I’m talking four or five posts a month and my page rank went from 0 to 2 earlier this year.
Not a big deal but I’m wondering how does pagerank work and is it really all that important.
I went to the source (Google) and they have a page explaining PR but I just get a headache reading it.
Anthony,
Read this post – https://www.techjaws.com/why-google-pagerank-is-still-important/
That’s news to me; I wasn’t aware of the many ripples and depth to this case until I searched here through Bing! Good job.
i’ve heard from some source that the next update is will be on 31st of september 2010.
is that valid?
No one knows, but Google.
Thanks Frank, how to increase page rank quickly, I have built many backlinks but not effective
Backlinks is only one of factors, but not the only.
Before the change I came up on the first page of google for things like ‘bwm motorcycle rental’ or even ‘motorcycle rental’
Now my website only comes up with geo specific indicators. I am focused on local areas as a target but my services and website are geared to engage people with the idea and dream of renting a motorcycle to go across country.
now there are crappy directories and undeveloped websites in place of where my site was.
I don’t like it – I think it hurts me
i think next update will be in 1st week of october…
So if the PR update comes now, it’s like we skipped one
No we didn’t skip one, Google is just running a little behind due to all the great changes they have deployed the last 3 months.
