Also I think if they publish these values continuously, it will make reverse engineering the ranking algorithm a bit easier. The last thing they want to see is top-paid SEO engineers systematically dictate what shows up in the search results.

So at any given time, a url in Google’s system has up-to-date PageRank as a result of running the computation with the inputs to the algorithm. From time-to-time, that internal PageRank value is exported so that it’s visible to Google Toolbar users (see the question below for more details on the timing). </blockquote> (<a href="http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/more-info-on-pagerank/">source</a>) From Matt Cutt's blog (my Google authority on everything PageRank),

I never read that anywhere but since there are no traffic spikes as the new PR score updates, one can deduce exactly what you said. It's kind of like keeping a table that caches some statistics so that the main database doesn't get hit with queries all the time. What I don't understand is why Google doesn't just implement a rolling PR update, without specific 3-month timelines. I don't think their BigTables are hurting too much during such updates anyway.

That's also why I don't believe too much in ultra search engine optimizing your blog. Search engine algorithms change regularly, so SEO techniques also has to change with it. Having quality content never gets old, and search engine algorithms are usually tweaked/changed just so it can find *your* quality content anyway. On the flip-side, PageRank updates help passerby readers to quickly identify that your site is credible. I personally believe this gives you a bit more authority when you blog about something. If I see two sites saying conflicting things, I would tend to believe in the site with higher PageRank. @Artem I read somewhere that Google keeps internal PageRank numbers updated, but only updates the Google Toolbar PageRank every 90 days. So if you have an internal PageRank of 5 right now then your content will come up with other PR5 sites even though your Toolbar PageRank is still 4. Let me see if I can find the source. @Clement

The higher the PR, the higher the traffic from Google should theoretically be, all other factors aside.

It is just a number and it does not really depict the quality of the blog. I have seen some great blogs having a small PR but they are excelling in terms of readership, comments, RSS subscribers, revenue.

Congratulations on getting to PR4! I didn't even check my blog's PR until I read your post. I'm glad that we have been gaining PR every time there is an update. We should go out to celebrate soon. Let's keep the trend going and bump it up another notch on the next update. Artem,
