I was able to squeeze out a PR3 on my site - Free-Reprint-Articles.com in 3 months. I was focused mainly on article marketing at the time. I registered the domain on 10/9/07 and by 1/10/08, I saw the new PR3 and was pretty stoked.

Hi Yich,
Congrats!
No doubt, all the high PR links you got to your site, plus the problogger project helped too.

The Google datacenters are still updating.
I’d wait a few days for the PR to stabilize.
(Or perhaps you could consult your ‘Google insider’?)

Yay! I got from PR 0 to 4 in slightly less than 4 mths, thanks to you Andrew, for emphasizing on content-based blogging.
My site’s URL without the “www” still shows a PR 0 though. Any idea why? Thanks.

I simply meant backlinks, sratch datacenters

Vlad:
The PageRank listed in the Google datacenters are ‘live’ PR. That means your site is rated at that particular datacenter.

Toolbar PR is considered by many to be based on past PR.

I spoken to SEOs and they consider Live PR to be a better gauge as your site will be spidered according to the frequency of the live PR.

I’m not sure what you mean by backlinks from the datacenter.

Congratulations guys!

It does not look like I am going up. I hope that Google will eventually change and updates will become more dinamic. Besides, the backlinks that are listed in google DC are not that reliable, except for Google PR.

Tony,
Looks like you’re headed for a PR1, I counted 7 counts of PR1 on the datacenters.
Gratz!

Ted,
I counted 5 datacenters including toolbarquery listing you at PR4.
If you head from PR0 to PR4 in 1 feel swoop, that’ll be pretty impressive.

Thanks for the headsup.

I’ve got a pagerank of 4 in 3 data centers, and 0 for the rest, giving me an average of 0.3. haha. Never really noticed what my pagerank was previously though

From what I can see only about 10% of the DCs have been updated. Best wait a few days for the true PageRank value to settle down before drawing conclusions about the final result. It’s in the lap of the (Google) Gods right up until the last moment!

Looks like I’m in the process of moving up from PR0 to PR1. I was expecting slightly more based on some searches I’ve been ranking for, but I guess those were just long-tail. Well it’s still a step in the right direction.

Thank you for the links Andrew!
