Short summary for anyone still checking this thread years later: the public “Toolbar PageRank” updates you waited on are effectively gone — the last widely observed public refresh was December 6, 2013, and Google confirmed it would stop exposing those values and removed the toolbar PageRank display in 2016 (PageRank-style signals remain internal). SEJ: Dec 6, 2013 update Search Engine Land: Google confirms removal (searchenginejournal.com)

This explains why posts from , and others about timing made sense at the time but aren’t useful now. Google has been telling webmasters to “graduate to actionable metrics” for years — in short, don’t plan around a public PR refresh; plan around real user and business signals. Google Webmaster Central: Beyond PageRank. (webmasters.googleblog.com)

Practical steps instead of waiting: stop watching toolbar PR and spend that effort on content that earns natural links, crawlability and technical fixes, faster page experience, and on measurements that map to business goals (conversion rate, organic CTR, engagement). Also avoid buying or selling links that pass PageRank — paid links must be handled transparently (rel="sponsored" / rel="nofollow") because undisclosed paid links violate Google’s guidelines. Google: buying/selling links violate guidelines. (webmasters.googleblog.com)

Checklist: audit backlink quality, fix crawl/index issues, publish link-worthy resources, measure with Search Console + Analytics, and treat toolbar PR as a historical curiosity — that will produce real, lasting gains regardless of any hypothetical “next PR update.”

I am hoping that they do something during the first week in April. I've already been hearing stories of deep spidering going on. Perhaps something will happen the 4th of the month - since that's when DaniWeb updated during the last update. Gee, do I miss the days of the monthly PR update!

I hope its done soon, I have carried out an extensive PR campaign and hopefully it will give me some results now. Lets just wait and see.

April 5th and still no update. Is this the longest ever?

Member Avatar for Dani

Well, Google used to update PR monthly. Then, they gave us a 3 month stretch. Therefore, we assumed they were starting quarterly. But this past update was after a 4 month stretch, so who knows :) In any case, we're now updated and unfortunately still a PR6, although backlinks doubled. So I can't complain (too much!)

Forget about the next Pagerank update and think about where your next link is coming from or what the next page on your website will be.

As I mentioned things change, if you’ve noticed anything of interest recently put it in the comments as I haven’t monitored it closely for months.

All link droppers that mention having a higher pr page to rank better in SERPS will be ridiculed in the comments (if not by me by someone else)…. and I will probably delete the link. Things are never equal enough for PR to be the ranking factor which you above a competitor (IMO).

PS – It’s worth noting that nobody really knows how Pagerank works these days. Not outside Google anyway.

Member Avatar for haircore

it does not seem to me that Google PR update is happenning on the same day or two for all websites on the web. it has become somewhat random recently since this thread was started

Google updated two months ago, one month ago, both times at the end of the month.

There are rumours as of today that another PR update is underway, which if true would confirm visible PR now updates MONTHLY.
