Next Google PR update
-
When is next google Pagerank update is expected to arrive.
I know it takes one month to one year for Google to update it but I know many people sitting here at Moz know some secrets for sure. -
Dr. Peter J. Meyers, Yes I totally agree with your point. Thanks a lot guys for your help in finding me the right information.
-
I'd just warn that Google seems to be signalling that toolbar PR updates may slow down or eventually stop altogether. If it wasn't for industry outcry, they would've stopped a while ago, I'm sure.
-
If you check the schedule in the link Dr Pete provided then you'll see that the chance is big that in the upcoming months a new dataset will be launched.

Sorry guys my question is not about PR is as a measuring stick or a good/bad variable for SEO analysis.I want to know only when its going to be updated.

I don't know anyone who has a back-channel into when Google updates toolbar PR. They've been increasingly inconsistent. The last one was in February, as best I'm aware. Shaun Anderson reports them pretty reliable, from what I've seen:
http://www.hobo-web.co.uk/google-pr-update/
That said, I agree with William - toolbar PR is a very unreliable metric and limited metric, and it's often so outdated by the time it updates that it's easy to misinterpret. Real PageRank is being updated in nearly real-time, and even "true" PR is just one of 200+ ranking signals.
-
The secret is that the number is irrelevant. Sure it might be a measuring stick but it is one of the last thing you need to worry about.
The only people really worried about PR is people trying to sell links or sell a site. Other than those reasons PR doesn't do anything for a site's performance.
Lets say your PR is showing 0 right now, and next update you will be PR 3. You will already be performing as a PR 3 even if your toolbar doesn't say so.

Any recent updates from Google or community on sub domains vs sub directories?
Hi all, This has been a debate for years and I have noticed most of the SEOs suggest to go or switch to sub directories instead of sub domains. Still is this the same or any new updates from Google or SEO community? We have moved a sub domain to sub directory last year. The result was sub directory content started ranking good; but no change in website rankings. Because of moving sub domains to sub directories, will the linkjuice/PR of the website gets diluted as the number of pages increases which will takeaway soe authority? Thanks

Number or percentage of new visitors impact Google rankings?
Hi all, Does the number/percentage of new visitors (from different IPs and countries) impact the Google rankings? If there are more number of new visitors, will Google favours the website in rankings considering the fact that new visitors are better than returning/same visitors? Thanks

URL in SERP: Google's stand
Months back, we can notice "keyword" will be bold and highlighted if its in the SERP URL. Now Google no more highlights any URLs even with exact match of keyword we search. Beside UI, Does this mean Google might devalued or reduced the importance of URL as ranking factor? We can see many search results match partially or completely in URL with search keywords.

Google Custom Search Engine: Good Idea?
I created a Google Custom Search Engine for our site, but I"m not sure implementing it is a good idea. When I tested it with the public URL, I noticed that ads show up on the search engine that could potentially move visitors away from our site to our competitors. Has anyone had success with implementing a Google Custom Search Engine? Do the pros outweigh the cons? Thanks, Ruben

Why has my homepage been replaced in Google by my Facebook page?
Hi. I was wondering if others have had this happen to them. Lately, I've noticed that on a couple of my sites the homepage no longer appears in the Google SERP. Instead, a Facebook page I've created appears in the position the homepage used to get. My subpages still get listed in Google--just not the homepage. Obviously, I'd prefer that both the homepage and Facebook page appear. Any thoughts on what's going on? Thanks for your help!

Did Google Just Punish Organic For Showing Up In Local?
Google pushed the local search results in a prominent spot on a ton of search results. That means (for me) that all first page rankings (including a lot of 1st place rankings) have completely disappeared. Subfolders still rank and homepage still ranks where local search is not included. This is weird. Is this a glitch or is there something we can do about this?

Do Google donations to Wikimedia show any bias in search results?
Over the weekend we learned Google co-founder Sergey Brin donated $500,000 to Wikimedia, the parent company of Wikipedia.com. Last year I believe Google donated $2 million to Wikimedia. I now ask, is this suspicious in anyway, seeing that Wikipedia ranks so well in Google for so many terms? There are several blog posts about it online here and there throughout the years, but what does everyone think?
