Yup,

there was a PR update started yesterday. It's hit paid directories quite hard - I think we discussed cannylink in your forum recently.

They've also fixed the internal PR problem on my sites. Some had inner pages with PR higher than the home page. Still no PR update for this site though. It has a relevant PR5 link from our parent company's website but we're still stuck
+,at PR2.... Let's see what happens on Monday.

well one of my sites stayed 0
one of them (that doesnt even have a site up, just domain) went from 0 >> 3
one of them went from 4 >> 3
one of them went 0 >> 2

could have been worse!

I don't think this PR update's finished yet. There's an excellent PR tool you can use here to have a look:

Hey Guys

I have seen a pr update on some of my sites. Seems that they did the update recently ie: i know they are showing the results to the public now, but some of the new pages we have created on some sites already have pr, which is lucky as far as i am concerned,
Normally in the past they would have assigned pr from data they collected a few weeks ago, but i am seeing pr on pages i created last week.

Weird

Do we still get all heated up over Pagerank? I can find Url's of plenty of sites with low PR that outrank those with higher ones. I thought that the PR debate had been put to bed long ago, surely nobody believes that Google tells us what they actually think about a site? I've instructed the staff in my office to turn off the pagerank indicator in their toolbar and rankings have never been better.

LOL, well of course you're right but PR is still important, not least because of the way (post BigDaddy) it affects the way your sub-pages get crawled and indexed - and we have evidence of our own to back that up. And I must admit I still get a buzz when I get lots of green on a new site, so I won't be uninstalling my (many) PR toolbars just yet... then of course there's Alexa ranking; another important indicator for a site... LOL

Well, the page rank you see on the toolbar is only a snapshot (http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/new-toolbar-pageranks-visible/), Google keeps it far more updated internally (and they never have a real-life PR counter due to the strain on the servers, apparently).
