Google PR is happening

We have just got a PR4 on Sky User - The unofficial support forum for everything Sky!

It was a 3 up until about 3am this morning.

Yea, my PR was 2 since the 5th of September when I installed VBSEO and right after I lost it (N/A). So I had to wait until the next Google's PR update and finally this morning I saw my PR again. Unfortunately this time was 0 and that's not very good thing isn't it? :(

These things fluctuate. Wait until there is a lot of feedback from the webmaster community that the update has occurred and has "stabilized".

PR changes after you install vBSEO since the URL format changes. But this is only "visible" or "toolbar" PR. It does not mean that your page has lost of of it's ranking power. It just requires an update.

Our homepage remains a PR4... but our main forum index page dropped from a PR4 to a PR3, despite we have added some very good higher PR external links to us. I also had some other pages go from PR0 to PR3, but also some PR3's dropped to PR1 or PR2.

I also noticed some other forums dropped from PR5 and PR6 down to PR3. Scary!

i dropped from 5 to 3.... and no traffic changes from goodle. PR is BS

I think we'll have to wait a few days for pages to be re-indexed before we see how keyword rankings are going to be affected.

page rank update is NOT a re-index though...

Your pages could be re-indexed once the Googlebot crawls your site again and sees that it has a different PR.

I dropped as well..

My forums were a 5, now they are a 3.....

This is the first update since I installed vbseo.. I hope it bounces back otherwise I'm going to doubt vbseo..

don't doubt vbseo.

EVERYONE is dropping it seems... and not just forums.

youtube is a pr3 right now!!!!!!! its the number 10 site on the net or something, and its a pr3.

trust me, ignore pr. its a waste of your time.

Checked my sites today and all my PR's went up on my new sites, my forum which had PR4 for ages and then went to PR0 is now back to PR4.

My site went from pr 4 to pr2...I now get double the hits from google...so I could care less. I've been more concerned about content....it's been paying off imo.

My pr has also gone down aswell, but the traffic is up 25% in the last 2 days, so it's all good

Google re-indexes constantly now, they have for some time. SERPS change very frequently now.

All my sites went down but I am now on page one for all my desired keywords and phrases.

Yeah, pretty much the same results here on my long lived site. Oh well. As long as I keep getting more traffic and my revenue stays good, I've got not problem.

My newer site I started right before a PR update went from 1 to a 3, so I guess that's good news...and that traffic has been on the rise as well.
