Earlier today I reported on the Google Backlink August update but I noted that PageRank has not been updated. There has been chatter in some of the forums on PageRank updating at the Google Directory.

Let me clarify. It is of the opinion of some people that Google is now showing a more recent PageRank value in the Google directory then what the Google Toolbar is showing. Based on a post by DigitalPoint, where he says "Google directory has this forum at PR7 and all my tools (deeplinks) at PR7 (all up from PR6). www.digitalpoint.com still PR7 though."

The DigitalPoint forums was never a PR7 and is current a PR6, but the directory shows them as a PR 7.

Fresh new images are now available at Google Images according to a WebmasterWorld thread. I confirmed this by finding an image of my old Sunbeam Water Cooler that actually gets a lot of traffic from other disgruntled Sunbeam customers.

A very detailed oriented thread is going on at Cre8asite Forums named After SEMPO: Should we Start a Trade Association?. With over a 146 replies so far, this can be the real thing. So join the discussion and have a say. If all the issues and goals are detailed in this thread, maybe it will work.

Who knows. :)

Backlinks are/have been updated but PageRank values for all sites have remained constant. Can this mean an end for PageRank as we know it? Or is this just a temporary thing? Google has updated its directory. Anyway, best of luck with the backlink update.
