Major PR Update - Sphinn Now PR 6!
Looks like some of us jumped the gun with assumptions about those directory PR penalties. I'm seeing major PR changes across scores of sites right now. Sphinn is now a PR6! Am I seeing things or did Sphinn not even have PR 24 hours ago?
Maybe my toolbar is crapping itself, but I'm seeing PR changes all over right now. Were the Google manual PR penalties not penalties at all? Could we have merely been looking at sites on datacenters that shifted PR first?
Some existing client sites have gone backwards an average of 1 PR point. A couple of our sites have also gone backward by 1. In all these cases, the sites are ones we haven't made any major changes to or built any additional links on. The sites where we HAVE spent time have stayed the same or gone up 1 point.
Even Adobe's News Aggregator has dropped from PR10 to PR9. Which suggests to me that this update is all about Google readjusting the benchmark for PR levels since the introduction of social media and the addition of so many new sites to the Internet. This was already predicted by many Sphinnsters (am I the first to use that term?).
Just noticed that some client blogs developed in the past 6 months have gone from PR0 to PR3 or 4. Nice! {cough}Not that PageRank matters or anything{/cough}

You're not seeing things ... we've had one new client go from a PR0, to a PR2, and we've even seen a PR5 for them. Then it reverts back to PR2 or PR0. Its all good!
