www.quickonlinetips.com - from 6 to 3
www.seroundtable.com - from 7 to 4
www.blogherald.com - from 6 to 4
www.weblogtoolscollection.com - from 6 to 4

Mine is stagnant at PR 4. No change, but in the PR update before this, it slipped from PR 5 to PR 4.

I don't care abt PR sh*t. Least bothered. In fact to post here in this thread, I checked mine now.

^^ And you don't need to care about it coz your site already rocks.

And Congrats Anand. My Website "AskVG.com" has PR3. I think its not bad. Its just 1 month old.

Hehehe.. thank you. In reality, that's not the case. IMO, PR should not matter to you because of some XYZ reason, not because your site rocks.

[Vishal Gupta]

^^ lol. Yeah right.

just checked, forbes.com PR dropped to 4

actually even i dont bother about PR or alexa. these both can also be manipulated upto a degree. but they r there so we take cogniznce. like alexa there is also 'compete'. having a higher pr helps in searches, i believe.

and congrats choto and cheeta. this time googles pr update was delayed by over 2 months, otherwise its usually held every 3 months. u guys can xpect PR6 in the next pr update

Google PR is bullsh1t!! The main factor upon which PR depends is how many sites link to that particular site, and what are the PRs of the linking site.

Going by that principle a popular site should have high PR. Well, Youtube's PR is 3. A site like youtube that has 1000s of inbound links has a PR of only 3!! And a stupid website like http://www.something.com has a PR 5.

Now you decide whether PR has any value?

BTW, thinkdigit.com's PR dropped to 5 from 6.

My blog http://www.helloashok.com/ PR4 no change
My hosting site http://www.ewebguru.com/ pr dropped from 4 to 3, previously it was PR5
My new directory http://www.ewebguru.net/ jumped from PR 0 to PR 3

PR has only value when you are selling link, otherwise PR does not have much effect in search engine ranking.

I dont think PR has that much importance now as it had..

[xbonez]

it stil plays a major role in sites like payperpost
