If you keep track of your own and competing site’s popularity by looking at the Google Pagerank in the Google Toolbar (the little green bar), then you may notice that many sites’ pageranks are being changed. Googler Matt Cutts has stated that this update should be completely done in a “few days.” He also mentioned that some sites which had been penalized previously were being re-instated with this update. What that means exactly is not clear. You should watch your own sites and the ranking of other sites you use regularly to see if their visual pagerank has changed. The results will be interesting.
Note that we are adjusting the rankings of the INDEX sites we list below, as we note changes. Check back in a few days for the complete list. We can already see a trend that many Pagerank 6 sites have de-ranked by one ranking, to a PR-5 and sometimes even a PR-4. Many of the lower ranked sites do not seem to have changed yet. However, this may be an early trend, as Google works its way down its internal list of sites to change ranks on. Until the results stabilize at the final level, expect to see some sites’ rankings decrease, increase and even go both up and down again. That’s why it’s called the “Google Dance.” Watch the changes at real time here!
