PR Updated
With the Google PageRank finally complete, you can see the fruits of all your hard work on optimising your site for search engines. Though sometimes the fruit does look all the great.
If you are seeing an increase in your site’s PR, it doesn’t mean that you will see an immediate increase in the amount of traffic from Google nor see high listings in the search results. A lot of people think this and are disappointed when the see neither happening.
To explain a little… a site’s PR is continually being reviewed and calculated by Google, but they only show a public update once every so often.
As a small inspirational push - keep at your search engine optimisation and check for increased traffic and listing position more often as it won’t coincide with the PR update.

PR is over rated. To me, it is only an indicator that Google trusts a website. It is given much more weight than it should be given.

I see and hear that many don’t care much for PR any more. I guess people are looking for the next best thing… maybe page strength?!
At least PR is still a good indicator of the popularity of a page (inbound links).
