Well I just saw the first signs that google is updating it's pagerank. A new site I started awhile back is now displaying a pagerank of 4. It was a zero before that. It looks like google is getting ready for it's next pagerank update. There updates usually take a few weeks to a month to settle into their new places. This is good though because it's been so damn long. I remember when they use to update monthly now it takes forever. I wonder what the purpose of them updating quarterly is? Is there some benefit to it or does it just take them longer to parse through all the information. The world may never know.
