Well I just woke up a few minutes ago and to my surprise I saw that lostartofblogging.com had a PR 4, from 0. I quickly checked my other blogs and noticed while some stagnated, a few got a surplus(PR5 is my biggest one.) Two weeks ago, I predicted a total PR update on 28 October or a date close to that, looks like I mist by a day :D.
Did this latest update make my blogs better, in any way? No, it didn’t. It still ranks the same, at the moment, in SERPS, it isn’t considered any better or worse by my visitors, except by all those PR obsessed freaks, I don’t sell links so I don’t care about the financial aspect, it didn’t change a thing; not in my book anyway.
Some of the blogs that were wrongfully penalzied by Google, in the past days, have reverted to their initial PR or actually ranked better then they previously did; Problogger and copyblogger are some of the big blogs that Google decided to reconsider, thus they’ve got PR 6 back, from PR 4 in the initial update. Well I’ve past over the initial shock, how about you ?

Strange, maybe Google messed up and meant to update some websites with higher PageRanks but they hit the wrong switch and most of the good websites went down.
Maybe Google just decided that they wanted to show everyone they are still using PageRank.

I went from 0 to 5 on abstractpromotion.com - not sure how, but i’m not complaining! Then again, I would not be surprised to loose some of it on the next update :\

“Did this latest update make my blogs better, in any way? No, it didn’t. ”
Ofcourse not. Public PR (toolbar pagerank) is only reflection real PR at the moment of a update. Real PR recalculating for pages very often (each 2-3 days) by my experience. Therefore, variation toolbar pr cannot affect on your SERP position in any way.
