As I looked in my feed reader this morning, I realized everyone's talking about the upcoming Google PageRank update.
At the time of writing this, it seems that Google is updating the toolbar PR ratings, and a full PR update is expected sometime in the next week or so.
I've wondered for a while if a PageRank update may be due soon. I've certainly noticed many changes in the way Blogger Buster is ranked in Google search results. Now you can see "sitelinks" appear in a search for Blogger Buster:
Hopefully the recent PR drops for sites using advertising methods Google disapproves of has come to an end, and we will finally see a true PR update in the next few days.
If you've noticed any changes in PageRank (or know of a reliable PR checking site which is currently operational) please let us know by leaving your comments below.

Hi Amanda,
My blog's PR went up from 0 to 3 :D
my 2 blogs are now PR3 :D
My personal blog went from PR2 to PR3 :) And one of the sites I've been optimizing also went up to PR6 from PR5.
I use PRchecker.info to check. :) Works for me.
So far, I noticed one blog I maintain went from a 3 to a 4. It was previously a 5 about six or seven months ago.
Dear Amanda
I have gone through your blog. you are awesome in trying for your blog.
It is quite clear that you also want to
monetize your blog as evident from the ads running in your blog.
Your adverising company pays you only when somebody clicks the ads.
Will it not be great if you are paid for every visitor ?
Well there is a program, which is absolutely free to join.

I'm glad to hear of your blogs' PR has increased this time around!
Lauren, I just tried using PRchecker.info but it doesn't seem to be working today. Perhaps this is updating due to the recent PR changes :)
Thank you all for your comments about this!
Hi Amanda, my new domain received a PR2. I'm happy but try not to get excited since I don't know how long this will last. My other blog in blogspot has not gained the PR it lost. Can you write a post about reciprocal links? Do you think it helps or not in getting PR from Google? Thanks.
Btw, I subscribe to your feed and always look forward to reading it.
its so annoying u know
first it jumped from 0 to 4
then dropped to 3
now my domain dropped to 0
while the blogspot.com remained at 3
so now sure why?
any idea?
For Babette,
I'm no expert in SEO or PageRank, but I will try to research this subject to help with a future post.
As far as I can tell, Google lowers the PR of sites where it can detect paid links (such as PPP and TLA links). I doubt that unpaid links would result in PR penalties, unless there are dozens of these per page.
If you use Google's webmaster tools, you can ask for reconsideration of PR status. So lost PR can be restored as long as your site meets the appropriate requirements (ie: no paid links, PPP posts and the like).
Hope this helps!
One of my blog got PR4 and other one got PR2.
Good from Google:)
The site I have been optimizing for over a year is still a pr1,
http://coastalbuildersla.com/
my seo seems pretty tight, it is much like the main competitors who has a pr3 with less incoming links with less pr from those incoming links. Does anyone have any suggestions for me here? Anything would be appreiciated.
During last updation many sites experienced a fall in their PR.
I do not know if Google updates the pagerank, but I already has over 1 years with a PR4, every time Google does not put it more difficult to attract visitors to our site, Google wants all the web traffic for them, is not just be left to compete and I am trying to get by with Google Adsense.Pero really earn a pittance if you have it 5 to attract more visitors.
Greetings.
I noticed that Google update my site www.webartsense.com got pr4.
my blog got PR2,,
