PR Update Today 05/03/2012

[lagger]

Some expired domains I bought with PR 4 and 5 last week, went down to ZERO. Looks like G is cracking down on expired domains, now.

7 of the 9 I bought stayed the same.

Two of my sites got PR update. Went from PR 1 to PR 4 on both of them.

All my sites were PR0, and they remain the same...so no worries here

Today I checked PR0 - PR1 and im back on page 1 again top 5

STILL CLIMBING

I started an autority site about 2 months ago! Only did manual linkbuilding so far and bookmarkings on my 2 personal accounts with onlywire. Only have 10 700word articles and about 250 backlinks to the main page and inner pages about spread evenly!

My main page got PR2, 4 articles got PR2, 6 articles got PR1 and even my 4 categories got pr1, contact page and privacy policy got pr 1 .

So my question is how does this help me and what is the benefit of having a website with pr?

No benefit. Before you could sell links but G is not into that anymore.
For me, no change for my about 65 sites except one that went from PR3 to PR2. It has an average of 10-11 uniques/day. Since PR2 yesterday, it had 25 uniques. Happy to have lost 1 level...

most of my sites went from from pr 0 to pr1 and some went from pr0 to pr2

The deciding factor was how much written content I had. For example, one site has about 1000 pages, but they are all very short blog posts (less then 100 words) This site went from pr 0 to pr 1

Another site had about 20 pages with 500-800 word articles on them and it went from pr0 to pr2

The first site ranks better, has more backlinks, and gets more traffic so I have to assume that this update focused a lot on unique content.

 

[Rachmaninoff]

Nothing's changed on my side!! :damnit1:

 

[Enklave]

Nothing for me left there ? PR0 didn't hit by awkward penguin

 

[marttali]

My brick and mortar site went from 0 to 4 ?
Only couple of links that i know off and they are not PR 5 or more..

But i the bounce rate is not too high i guess, on average people spend 5 minutes on the site and view 5 pages.
Minimum SEO, keywords in URL, bit intext linking, H1-s. No H2, meta stuff, alt's etc.
All the pages are one click away from the index so PR is evenly distributed, about 100 pages or a bit less. Original content (written by employees about their services)
Domain is about 2 months old.

I noticed some domains dropping from pr5 to pr3 :s

 

[BlueOrchard]

Sigh... PR2 to PR1

 

[Zarion]

Two of my site went from PR0->PR1 but one of them got dropped for its main keywords...

 

[cloakme]

All of mine have not moved.

 

[dtgmaze]

Money site from 2 > 3
and now a site which is built this month and is only a few HTML pages with no backlinks at all and very bad ranking for his niche
from 0 > 3 google WTF are you doing

 

[arnoldblack]

brand new emd .co pr n/a to 5 i'm still in shock site only went up in april and has just 1 950 word post 1% kw density. however it's position in the serps hasn't really improved dropped approx 1 spot for each of the main keywords.

 

[twistedtrick]

Main site: Pr0->Pr1
Most popular inner page on main site: Pr0 -> Pr2

I'll take it...

 

[ben10023]

Got a few PR1's and a PR2 inner page all from nowhere
