Some new PageRank changes have been confirmed, so it really looks like an export (of some sort at leas) is happening now. In addition to the ones I mentioned yesterday, these changes seem to have happened some time within the last couple of days:
- phpbb - 9 to 8
- Internet Archive - 9 to 8
- Apple - 10 to 9
- MSN - 9 to 8
I’m not sure about all of the old PageRanks, but they appear here how I remember them, and how they appear on some old lists of high PageRank websites. More changes have probably happened, and if you can report any, please leave a comment with your findings.
Interestingly, most of the changes I’ve noticed are drops on 1 PR for high PageRank websites. Is this an indication of a change in the PageRank algorithm, since surely all of the above websites cannot have lost backlinks? Have some of the backlinks to these sites been disregarded, or has the minimum number of link to high PageRank been increased?
Another theory is that this is caused by the increase in the number of pages in Google’s index. Since according to the original PageRank design, the sum of all PageRanks is a fixed number (usually believed to be 1), adding new pages with PageRank would drop the PageRank of all other pages. This PageRank number is the raw PageRank number, from which the toolbar value is compiled.
Please report any other changes you notice here, and correct me, if I had any of the old PageRanks wrong in the above list.

I have been waiting for this. I know people who are waiting to get their 6’s and trying to get to 7;s it seems that all they are doing is working on the LOWERS not the highers from your report. I hope i go up not down! But you have to maintain your higher numbers. I know my friend who owns pjmommy.com has to work to keep her 6. She’s trying to get a 7 but what can you do?
What can you do? Market, market, market. Link baiting and building traffic will lead to natural link development that should not be penalized by search engines. That in turn will translate to PageRank.
Hi,
At last, Google did the thing. In my site most of the inner pages gained page rank. But I’m not seeing any changes in my index page…
I am too waiting for the PR update.
[…] was surprised to see the PageRank drops last month, but apparently that was only the beginning. Google is now at war against link selling sites - […]
that’s kinda cruddy your rank went down. hope you can build it back up on the next update
