After so many months of speculations on Google PR updates and the doubts that Google will discontinue the PR export in order to fight link sales, today we’ve finally saw the change in the green bar on all websites. Thank you G.
Today’s Google PR Export or Update (its not actually update considering Google updates it dynamically every day but only exports the results in few month or sometimes a bit more) was as always one really interesting event. The one of the things that we can quickly realize is that all web directories are will lower PageRank than before, but different substance websites are with a bit low amount of hyperlinks scored higher pagerank than others. that most probably means that the duplicate subject matter algo is somehow modified to capture much more spam than ever before (which is something rather expected)
Also another really interesting and additionally expected outcome was that due to the progressive expanding of the web, all Google PageRank values require more and more urls to be achieved. Now for pr 3 you need more than 2.5k link popularity, pr 4 more than 5 to 20k urls and pr 6 > 150k. Note that that is LINK POPULARITY not urls only which is relatively the number of actual urls since most search engines don’t show the real value.
I’ll update that post as soon as I get more info on the topic as see what my buddies are saying about it.
