PR was updated for the first time since June.

I checked my sites today. Most of my new sites have PR now.

Lame i went from a 0 to a 3. I was really expecting at least a 4. Oh well.

What exactly is the criteria Google uses for that?

The PR of the inbound links basically- and it is spread across the # of links on the referring page.

Three of my new sites went from 0 to 2 and 3 but my main ( old ) site is still at 3 no change. But recently traffic from google gone up so I was expecting it to improve.

PageRank Explained is a good article.

Here are some keywords for search

SEO
offsite SEO
Google
PageRank
PageRank algorithm
link building

I didnt see any changes of PR update on any of my website

Any suggestion why it happened, or should i wait for my turn

please suggest

I don't know for sure why you site hasn't been updated.
If your site is new I won't have PageRank for a while.
I built some sites about 3-4 months ago and the just now have PR today.
There hasn't been a PR update since June, or so they say.

My advice for any webmaster is just to advertise. Text link advertising and directory listings are good way to get improve your rankings. Just be carefull where you advertise.

At last google has updated it PR which is due from last more than 120 days there were lot of speculations going on SEO market that there may be some bomb which google will blast but I have seen there is not much in it. One thing is sure that google has tightened the PR algo. It has now giving less importance to mass linking or linking from one site or one group. I have seen overall fall in PR of most of sites internal pages If the main page has PR 5 usually PR of page connected to home page are PR 4 but now it is seen to be PR 3 in most of the case. So I think google has tighten the PR rules.

Bummer. Mine went from a 4 to a 3.

I hope it changes a little bit more.

When you search Google you find sites that have good link deseminatin and keyword usage but not necesarily the sites with the best content. I think the People at Google are doing alot to change this. About a year ago "modern assult rifles" and the top sites were on antique weapons. Now you do the same search and you get this really cool russian site.
You can actully find a picture of AK74M rifle and some information on the AR10 and Armalite arms rather than some article about world war 1.

Whoa! Yahoo.com has been bumped down to 9/10. Thats really surprising.

my PR5 site went to PR4, and my PR0 site (new site) went to PR4 as well. who knows.

One of my sites went from a PR0 to PR 5. It's about time.

After very very long time our site got the page rank in google.
We were waiting for it from last june 2004, and it happened this month finally.
Lets hope for the best PR in future, till then just wait and watch.

45,500 linking to http://www.whitehouse.gov
PR: 10

474,000 linking to http://www.yahoo.com
PR: 9

What's up Google?
Numbers really don't matter?

It would appear at first glance through the update Google is tightening the belt. We have had one site jump from 0 to 4 and most others stay the same.

About time!

My main page staed the dame but several internal links jumped around. Went from a 6 to a 5 on one ofmy internal pages, other jumped to 3 and 4.

I just noticed my RSS feeds jumped to 4. I am not sure why but they did. I did not really advertize them...kind of odd.

my sites gone up to PR0-PR2 , i was hoping for a 3 or 4, but i didnt have enough time to get alot of backlinks

its weird, my older pages that dont get visited a lot, got higher pr, then my newer popular pages.
