Another Google Toolbar Pagerank Update? (18 July 2011)



After keeping us waiting an age for a toolbar pagerank update and giving us PR Update June 2011, Google is apparently giving us another one right now……. I’m seeing another pr update on a few of the sites I work on – I wonder if this is a more accurate recalculation for some sites. The Hobo site for instance, fell from 5 to 4 in June 2011 now it’s back at 5 again.

I don’t really worry about toolbar pagerank that much these days, but I did start tracking the major pr updates a long time ago, so I feel obliged to continue.

If you enjoyed this post, please share :)

    Dropped a point a couple of weeks back, but noticed increased engine traffic this month. Have now got my lost pr point back today, cool

      My website had the exact same thing. Lost a point 3 weeks ago, got it back today. Did not see any drop in traffic the past 3 weeks, but will hopefully get some extra with the climb back up?

    One of our client sites shot up from 4 to 6 last month and now back down to 4. Traffic and conversions still up but difficult conversation tomorrow to explain why their green fairy dust dropped down!

    • Shaun Anderson says:

      I dont think I have one client who asks me questions about Pagerank these days…. ok, maybe the odd one….

  8. Paul A. says:

    Google is teasing us. A lot of the sites rose last update, but now drops again

  10. VacuPractor says:

  11. Charles Britto says:

    We also jumped 0 to 3. Now come back to 1 today. Why Google did like this?

  12. Dorel Tanase says:

  13. Marco says:

  14. Alan Mark says:

    In last update kaushalam.com PR go down from 4 to 3, but in yesterday’s update kaushalam.com PR go up from 3 to 4. Cheers!

  15. Craig says:

    we saw a couple of clients PR drop off but now have returned. Another client has seen internal pages rise and they’ve remained, so it’s not a roll back. it’s odd, but at the end of the day it’s only pagerank so nothing to be concerned about!!

  16. Michal says:

  20. Beric says:

    I checked my site and PR remains the same 3. But noticed more traffic and orders this week.

  21. Daniel Noll says:

    Our site has been around for 5 years. On June 27, we experienced a drop in PR from 5 to 4 on our home page and internal pages affected accordingly. Then on July 18, everything appeared to have been “restored” to pre-June 27 values, if not even better. Not complaining certainly, just noting.

  22. Peter Van Zelst says:

    Seenn the same thing but one site dropped from 5 to 2 in June 27 update, back up to 4 on Jul 18th, went to 8 last night July 20th and back down to 4 again today!
