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That said, I agree with William - toolbar PR is a very unreliable metric and limited metric, and it's often so outdated by the time it updates that it's easy to misinterpret.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.

New Google Update - weird ranking
Hi I wanted to get your thoughts on this keyword ranking. This page - https://www.key.co.uk/en/key/albatross-heavy-duty-office-chairs-24-stone is now ranking for heavy duty office chair 30 stone We don't mention 30 in the content anywhere, apart from the USPs at the top of the page - could this be it?! I don't know how to change this, or I guess Google is still figuring things out and maybe this will drop off? Love to get some thoughts on this! Becky

Do the external links at footer menu take away PR or Linkjuice?
Hi all, We have some external links on our footer menu. I'm just trying to figure out whether these take away pagerank. What if they are follow or nofollow? How fair to have DMCA badge with link at footer? Will this hurts? Thanks

Is it me or Google?
Hi All, I'm new here so take it easy on me.. OK, basically i have had a SEO company for about 3 years, they did a wonderful job, for the last 12 months or so i have been in top 1-3 positions for pretty much every keyword i wanted... On Jan 17th, that all changed, suddenly google doesnt like something about my site... for the sake of this questions lets focus purely on the keyword "CCTV", i use to be 1st or 2nd, it varied... Since Jan 17th i am all over the place, today alone, i was 9th this morning, then 13th, then 22nd... I am working on a lot of things my SEO company told me to do, with regards my site, obviously this is going to take time... but my big concern is that google doesnt seem to know where to rank me lol, i mean, at least if they settled on a place i.e 22nd, then i have a stable base to work from... Has anyone seen this kind of thing before, and can i expect at somepoint google decides to simply remove me? Any advice welcome. regards James

Home page replaced by subpage in google SERP (good or bad)
SInce Panda, We have seen our home page drop from #2 in google.ie serp to page 3 but it has been replaced in the same position @#2 by our relevent sub page for the keyword that we ranked#2 for. Is this a good or bad thing from and seo point of view and is it better to have deep pages show in serp rather than the homepage of a site and what is the best line of action from here in relation to seo. Is it best to work on subpage or home page for that keyword and should link building for that phrase be directed towards the subpage or the homepage as the subpage is obviously more relevent in googles eyes for the search term. It is clear that all areas of the site should be looked at in relation to link building and deep links etc but now that google is obviously looking at relevancy very closely should all campaigns be sectioned into relevent content managed sections and the site likewise and treated on an individual basis. Any help that you may have would be very welcome. Paul

PageRank Updates Again
Toolbar PageRank updates seem quite frequent this year. When they did the re-update in July after Twitter stuff-up I thought they were going to settle down for a while. Now in August there is a new one. From what I can see the data is refreshed and the snapshot seems to originate from at least 29th July with the calculated values as recent as 25th July. I wonder why they're doing this and what they are up to...

Google +1 link on Domain or Page?
Since its release, I've seen Google +1 being used across an entire domain but only reference the root href in the code snippet. At the same time, you see other sites use +1 more naturally with the button being specific to the page you're on. What's your take on this? To clarfiy, do you add: or .. on each page.

Classifieds and Google Panda
It seems Google's Panda update is targetting low quality sites with little unique content (I know there's more to it than that). It makes sense that they may want to do this but what about classified sites. They may use some scraped content as well as unique ads, and the ads may lack content as they rely on the users writing the ads. However, they are helpful to the people that use classifieds. Because of these factors, these sites are suffering with the release of the latest Panda update. Any advice for classified sites and how they can combat the rankings drops???
