This is a quick announcement that Google PR update is going on currently and the good news is that TechPP is now PR3!! Technically this is the first PR update for the year 2009. The previous PR update happened on 31st December 2008. I was expecting this update to begin on 31st March 2009, but anyway it has come 2 days later.
When I started out, PR metric was a big deal. Over the course of time it has become just another metric as a webmaster. Homepage is PR3, some internal pages have PR4, PR2 & PR1. I do not think PR will affect either the SERP or the traffic directly in a big way, but still it has become a parameter to gauge the authority of a website.
Has the PR of your website(s) changed? Do let me know.
Raju PP is the founder-editor of Technically Personal, which is one of the most widely read technology blogs on the web. He holds an Engineering degree in Electronics & Communication, and has previously worked as a Technical Specialist in Banking Software domain.
Congrats on getting PR3 for Techpp.com
However, no PR update for tech-exclusive.com.

Congrats for getting PR3. It does increases traffic to ur site as described by a google employee because PR is one of the criteria to decide your presence and position in google search results. My blog’s PR has also gone up to 2, catchin up you……lol
technomedics last blog post..SHOULD NOT DIGG HAVE “BLOGGING” AS A SUBMISSION CATEGORY???
Hey There!
I just did a G search to find out if anyone else seen a shift or if it was just a glitch in my toolbar. I made the jump from PR0 to PR3 – yay.
You are right though, PR means a lot less now than it did a few years ago. PR is a made up number from google. Why care what number they choose – as long as you show up for relevant searches and you have the traffic you need

Congrats Raju for PR…. mine is still same… no update for me

Congratulations Raju! This PR isn’t so important but it’s great to see when it’s rising!
My blog is pretty new, it was started on January 2nd and now for 3 months my PR went from PR-0 to as high as PR-3! And I’m very glad about that.
I hope both our blogs continue to grow in PR and visitors. Wish all of you much traffic for your blogs!
Enjoy!

@Nicholas, Pavan, Simran
It should not matter as I told before
@Madhur,
Its really shocking dude, I mean how can it become 0, let me know if it does affect your traffic or not.
@stratos,
just kidding 
shouldn’t take much effort for you to get it back 
Lol… no wonder it dropped
@technomedic,
that’s one good thing about PR, atleast it makes us put in more time and improve the blog!!
@Jack Gordon,Maharshi,
Its not bad at all. One step at a time
@Rave Clothing,
And congrats!!
Absolutely true
@Gennice,
That is amazing! It just shows the hard work you have put in these 3 months
I operate a number of websites and most of my sites had a positive increases in PR following this review. I have been working hard on improving the links to my site and definitely pleased with the improvement.
I’ve been all over the place with PR over the years. I was up to 4 at one point, but am now down to 2. I even hit 0 for a while. I’ve done a few optimizations to improve PR, but stopped last year when even positive PR changes didn’t seem to impact traffic or SERP.

Hi Raju Congratulation! Yes my site also got PR 4 its increased by 1 PR.
hi , Congrats buddy for your techpp.com “google page rank “3″ !! great !!!
Are PR update the only time that Google also updates SERPS? Or will Google update SERPS based on the ‘actual’ PR even though that new PR may not have been released yet?
Is their an update going on now? August 2009?
