How long does it take to get a Google PageRank
I have noticed that new web pages don't get a page rank right away, it actually takes quite a while. I checked on a couple sites including my blog, and it looks like it takes about two months to get a page rank assigned to your page.
Pages get cached, and much indexed faster than this and perhaps they also have a pagerank. Google only updates the pagerank that their toolbar shows every few months.
I did my test using google toolbar, and firefox pagerankstatus.
Have other SEO questions?

My pagerank status changes every time I change the page. On my blog for example, it has been as high as an 8 before, and after making a post will drop to a 2. A day later itll be back to 7 or so and then another post will drop it again.
You are correct. Google updates the page rank on certain dates unknown to the general public.
I've noticed that if you just update a page and don't change the filename pagerank will stay the same. However, I did a major site optimization and changed a lot of filenames. Google spidered several of the pages within 24 hours, but the pagerank is still at zero for these new pages. Here are some examples:
Here are some of the pages that have filename changes, they were updated on July 9, 2005. Many were spidered on July 10, 2004, but the pagerank is zero as of today July 11,2005: http://www.abbutah.com/ http://www.abbutah.com/business-opportunity-in-utah.html http://www.abbutah.com/franchise-businesses-for-sale.html
I'll keep watching these and see when the pagerank appears
A week later, still no page rank. Here is another good page to visit: http://www.abbutah.com/how-to-buy-a-business.html.
I'll check in another week or two and see if anything has changed.
Neal, The pageranks will take a while to show up in your toolbar. This doesn't mean that they don't have a pagerank in google yet, just that google isn't going to show you what they are yet. They update the pageranks in the toolbar every few months. They should be updating it within the next month or so.
Also watch the links your posting, they are walking a fine line to comment spam. Also note that they are not linked on this page, so you aren't getting any pagerank boost from posting them here.
I have recently started website design (6 weeks ago) - www.redhotpropertiesoverseas.com
I've never done website design before and wanted to know where I should place meta tags? at the moment I have placed them right at the top of each page. I have also create a new meta tag for each page. Can you advise?

Hello, I just create a new site for homeowners and realtors to post their home listings. visit: http://www.postahouse.com
I wonder how long will it take to get just "1" on the google rank bar. Does it determine how many sites is link to your when google decide to give your site a rank? Any clue guys??
I've had this site for a while now and it still doesnt even have a page rank, and I have had lots of kewords added, any ideas?

Hey this is good information to know. I was wondering how long it would take my site at http://www.massinternetservices.com to gain page rank. I am thinking about forming this as an LLC and start doing some web hosting. Tough to gain traffic to promote web hosting without page rank though. Looks like it is a waiting game
Thanks! Scott
yeah - ive been curious about this very thing. Ky site has been listed in google for almost two months now - but i still have a PR0. I am just now getting worried that there might inadvertently be something wrong with my page.
I guess ill wait a few more weeks to see if there is a change.

I, too, have been waiting in vain for a page rank from google for my page at http://mykidsbrowser.com . I hope that I get a PR soon.

I have a website http://www.berimbau.info and i hope to get a high pagerank. There is not much information about this instrument like on my website. Should i get a high rank because i have a website with the most info?
I,m much concerned to know when there will a PR assigned to my site's (http://www.optimumrecovery.com)new pages like http://www.optimumrecovery.com/FileSystems/Windows/ntfs.html which were added a month ago, although google has crawled. Moreover, I want to know what is the relationship of google PR which it assigns whenever it crawls a page and the actual PR which is showed on google toolbar?
I just wanna know that after how many days (or perhaps months!) would a site achieve a page rank in GOOGLE? Or to be more specific, when does Google update or visits a site?
Well my site www.garglenrinse.com is a humor blog powered by wordpress. After two weeks, it has finally got indexed in Google, but I'm just wondeirng how much more time will it tkae for me to get a pagerank. Or how many links do I need to even get a pagerank of 1.
Im mike, (a web dev 3yr) There are millions of 'things' you can do to speed up indexing, i would asume these 'things' would aid ranking for when google rank spider next gets round. my four key points: clean content+accessibility (www.w3c.org), relevant tittle, relevant keywords, links (even google recomends a directory to list your site in.)
Actually - I have another problem - my site http://www.dnndir.com is not being indexed. It's been live for over a month WITH a Google Sitemap, and Google Ads and tons of links to it, but Google says there are no pages indexed in my sitemap?
Any ideas please?
Sorry for the screwed up html code in my earlier comment, I wasn't trying to do anything.
:|
message to Rodney Joyce concerning (http://www.dnndir.com) you might want to rethink your keyword structure. i would reccomend adding some text about the site at the bottom (including the same keywords in your meta data even if this is just to get the site indexed then remove the text at a later date). your one keyword with enugh body content (posibly too much) is DotNetNuke which no one searches for
only 2 months???
I've been waiting for more then 3 month!
Thanks Mike - I moved a lot more content onto the home page and have now added a DNN FAQ (but still not being indexed!) I have so many links to it (including a Wikipedia link in the DotNetNuke section) and yet Google refuses to index it!
Rodney Joyce - dotnetnukem problem solved (i think) you have a default page of default.aspx which is what you view however google is looking for a index.htm/index.html/index.php... i think there is an empty index.htm on your root which is what google is boared of. you can resolve this using a .htaccess to send all traffic of the root to the default.aspx
Thanks again Mike, but I don't have an index.* file in my root (but yeah - ecerything is rendered through default.aspx). The thing is, my other sites with identical architecture are indexed fine? I've started a post here to try and get some more ideas: http://groups.google.com/group/google-sitemaps/browse_thread/thread/28c05ceddef243ae/30853a130e83371e#30853a130e83371e
I have been waiting for few months and according to iwebtool.com, Our site at http://www.webhostforasp.net should have page rank 5, but until now still showing 0 and it has been 2 months. Anybody know why?
My site is about free internet discounts and the name is very easy to remember. Any ideas how to be listed on google? I tried everything, I don't know what else to do. Please give me some ideas, thanks www.freeinternetdiscounts.com
I have been waiting for almost 3 months and the pagerank is still 0. (http://www.6pack.co.za)
Yo Juon, i just thought i should let you know that you have a page rank of 4. I wonder what my page rank will be when it finally comes through (http://www.weldart.net.au). I guess its still early days, i only submitted it to google a few weeks ago. I must admit i don't like the idea of having to wait 3 months before i get my rank :(
We have been spending a lot of money on getting our website http://www.wishtips.com for gift wish lists to get linked from other reputable sites. We are always afraid that we will get linked on sites that are non-reputable to search engines. how common is black listing?
Just be patient, it took my site, http://www.GottaFindLove.com over six months just to get a PR4. And it goes up to a PR7 and then shoots back down to a PR4.
So never worry about being PR0 for even up to a year, you will eventually get ranked by Google.
I just launched my web site http://www.etrending.com. During the initial research to optimize the interface with google I was told that the page rank depends upon the page rank of other sites linked to you. I e-mailed around and agreed a couple of link swaps. Got index in 4 days, still waiting on the rank (1 month). I have also been told it takes 3 months. www.etrending.com
I got my PR of 2 in a year, but through very little actual links. I just filled it with content, and changed the design lots, as I also updated too.
Thanks
Ben
To answer your Question, Its actually pretty difficult to get BLACK LISTED. It seems the only way to do that is to Link to Sites that a SCAMS, FARMS, and for Google PORN, or Against Policy. You should read against policy first to see what that means. ... As for PR, I know this takes time, sometimes it can take MONTHs even up to a year. Since Google takes into Account Every Page Linking Out and Every Page Linking In, an Incomplete Site is worse then many out links. There is many Blogs on Creating and Calculating the BEST Pagerank for your site. The Main Keys to Remember is that You only get ONE point for Every Page, Devided by the Amount of Links on that Page. It takes a Certain Number of Points to move up, and Reciently It was Recalculated and Many Sites Moved Down in Rankings. Next, if your Linking to Sites that are not Indexed by Google or Do not BackLink your site, You loose that Portion of Points.
I have a site http://www.amazinspace.org . I am linked with a couple of outside sites including peoples myspace pages. I have added my site to a lot of search engines a couple of days ago and was wondering how long it would take to get on Google and become a high rank on Myspace Backgrounds. I used a program that compared the top 10 and gave me advice on what to do. So far I match the number 1 guy how long will it take for me to get added?
My site http://www.prettypetz.net has been live for almost 2 and a half months now. I have a couple of decent backlinks with over a pagerank of 2 but I am still not ranked. What more do I have to do. Just keep going along?
I recently created a blog at http://ktechgrill.blogspot.com, I found that my page was indexed the day I submitted my link using Google Webmastertools.
my site is http://sgknox.com it has been around for quite a while.. but there are no pageranks.. but sometimes there is.. why is that?
Hi all....My website is new and has been online for approx 5 months now and my google page rank is zero. I am always updating my website and i woulld like to know if this would have an effect on google ranking my pages. My website is fully optimized and you can see it at http://www.adventvancouver.com Also does anyone know how long it will take for google to respond to my keywords as my website never shows up in search results.
LOL
virtually every post here is spam :D
Wow ... can I comment spam this site too ... !! Get a life guys, its not doing you any good.
Is there a way to speed up indexing? I tried to get a very clean design with my page http://www.we-translate.de.
a blog is linking to my blog and also has a page rank of 7* .But when I search for link:webtalks.blogpsot.com , it dose not displays it. Whats the matter?
Ashwini,
When you use the link: command in google, it takes quite a while for links to show up in there. It doesn't mean that google hasn't found the link, or that they haven't given you credit for it. This view of their index is delayed on purpose.
If a few months go by and you still don't see the link, it could be that they linked to you using rel="nofollow" in the link, this would cause the search engines to ignore the link.
I launch my site www.yourlatitude.com 2 months ago but with no luck on google ranking or keyword indexing. I have links pointing in but no luck with google. I am (barley) getting traffic from msn and yahoo but am getting very frustrated. I signed up for adwords but im a little POed for having to do this. Am I missing something? I have read every blog and I think I might be sandboxed? thoughts please!
Ashwini, what does "rel="nofollow" in the link" mean?
I'm in SEO since 1999 and following Google quite some time. We published one of our latest sites http://www.vandenberg-advocaten.nl some year ago and is still without visual PageRank. This is quite normal however. The best PR you get from websites in the same catagory and especially the important ones. Google almost immediately starts gathering the Pagerank points. However the Google PR bar is just an indicator and follows one step behind. Besides that, it does not show small PageRanks under 1 point (on a scale from 1 to 10).
i think it takes not more than 2 months to get PR depending up on ur inbound links
I started a forum about 4 months ago, yet still no page rank.

I used to get lots of comment spam (+50 per day) on my blog (wordpress), until I enabled the Akismet plugin.
It's actually working quite so well, but a few times legit comment does get marked as spam.
It still amazed me that spammers still hasn't catup to the fact that the "nofollow" tag doesn't do you any good...
My site took about 3 months to show up.

I have a new site and was wondering if somebody would like to swap links. This helps you get higher in the search rankings e.g. google

my site www.paxbaldwin.com is still struggling to get noticed by google any ideas
It has been great to read all these posts and be able to check the links and see that people now have page ranks. I started my site 2 months ago. I have done everything I can to get a rank, even targeting high ranking relating sites and a massive back linking campaign. I have a great Alexa rank now and am waiting to see if all my hard work has paid off when google updates the page rankings. Check my site if you are reading this:

and see if I finally got one! Cheers to all peeps who have posted. Very helpful.
This makes since. I have wanted to get PR for http://bellaok.com for months now, and nothing has happend. At least this makes some sense.
Hmmm...3 months...no pagerank..
Maybe soon I hope :)
http://lovedirectory.blogspot.com
Well People, looks like the google toolbar update is on! I'm not sure how long this will go for or if the current page rank of "0" i received for 3 months of hard work will remain? Does this mean I have done something wrong or is this just the way PR works now?
On a side note: does anyone know how I get a compete rank?

Guys and Gals, dont get caught up in the whole page rank thing...Its no substitute for finding a niche and marketing the hell out of it. There are better things to concern yourself with i.e articles etc.
hi I have a Music Blog http://www.muzikpakistan.blogspot.com with blogspot, it has been there for over an year now with ZERO pagerank !!!! I have links going out and coming in and I frequently update the data where could i be going wrong?
well,i still dont know when mine will appear at http://constructicle.blogspot.com
My site has not displayed the sitemap yet, it has been over two months.
www.livedomainsearch.com
Pagerank get updated almost every 4 months after. If you are closed to update then you don't have to wait for that long within 1-2 months your new pages get PR. It totally depends on when did you edit the pages.
Thanks for all the information, guys! I've been waiting for more than 2 months myself and still sporting the infamous PR0. :( I did, however, check the Google Webmaster Tools and it does have a little movement on the bar, perhaps a 1 or a 2 coming out of the gate, I guess.

I have noticed this as well. I started a new site a few weeks ago and I'm still wiating on my page rank for http://tccondomap.com It's been 23 days. How much longer should it take?
hi all, well have a new site www.nopixz.com in beta mode, just wanted to know how to increase page rank. Thanks
How long does it take to get indexed and to get rank for website with about 10,000 pages. By now - It takes too long. www.picklets.com
Go to www.voxtoneonline.com. this will answer everyone questions.
I manage a website that had been relatively inactive for the past 4-5 years (static, SEO unfriendly content). I re-designed the website about 5 months ago. The page rank was and still is 0. I wanted to know if whehter the inactivity of the domain will cause the Pagerank to remain at 0.

Thank you everyone! I started NextGEN Gamers www.nextgg.com in late May 2007. I invested around 2 hours a night for 5 months, getting high ranking affiliates and doing all my SEO as per what Google and awesome peeps like you guys had suggested. The first page rank in May I missed by a few days. The second update in August gave me a page rank of Zero. I can now 100% confirm that although I had high quality links, there is definitely a (sandboxing) type period, where ALL new sites are lumped with a Zero. (you no longer get a Page rank right away anymore). Between August and now I furiously worked on making my site user and robot friendly and of course gaining even higher ranking affiliates in my community. On Sunday the 28th October at about 12pm Australian EST, I noticed that I had a Google toolbar PR of 4! My forum received a GPR of 3 and numerous other pages got the same. I had stopped obsessing about page rank a while ago but kept on doing my SEO work by the book. I?m extra happy about my efforts as so many websites have been punished (reduced PR) for things like this http://www.smh.com.au/news/web/google-algorithm-tweak-spooks-www/2007/10/26/1192941308334.html
All I can say to anyone reading this is that you wont see your Google page rank display in your tool bar until the 2nd page rank update that your site lives through. But take all the above peoples advice and you won?t go wrong!
Once again ? Thanks everybody ;)
my website www.cadforum.tk is about 70 days that is cached by google and i'v done link exchange with some websites but still can't see any page rank.

Did you know you had the number #1 position on how long does it take to get Google Page Rank? wtg. It is driving me crazy actually, I have had my site for almost 3 weeks. I have been creating backlinks like crazy with high profile directories. I am active in many forums, my site is ranked #1 in google for a hot search category with over 4 million results and highly positioned under many other search terms. I have done absolutely everything right and my Page Rank is still a big fat Zero. What am I doing wrong? I am offering testimonials to people that use my traffic system but why would any body care if they were mentioned on a site with a big fat 0 PR. Is it just a matter of time? Is there anything I can do to fix this? Help and Comments would be greatly appreciated.

I have recently migrated my business to a new website www.leathergiftitems.com and was wondering how long, provided good SEO is going on, does it take to get page rank? Also, I hear the page rank algorythm has changed, please advise. Thanks,
How long does it take for Google to create a PageRank. I just made a new website http://www.slimmetjegeld.nl and I was wondering about the pagerank.
I help created an online cufflinks shop, http://www.ritzcufflinks.com about a month ago but still no pagerank. Does caching of site affect pagerank? Does anyone knows the fastest record to get a pagerank for a new site?
I have been working to optimize www.leathergiftitems.com, and it still does not have a page rank after months, wondering if there is a command to type into google to determine the current page rank? Thanks.
NextGEN Gamers now has a Google page rank of 5!
Thanks in advance for your generous time. I too don't understand why my blog which I have had now for 3 months has no page rank. I am pretty sure google is not picking up on it. http://blog.food2gro.com

I need help.. I am working on this website's SEO for 3 months and still got nothing for page ranking. But I did everything same as everyone else but just don't see the result.
Can anyone tell me what is going on?

And after a year of building backlinks to my site, I am proud to say that I have a pagerank of 5!
I constantly monitor my pagerank, as it can change on a daily basis based on changes I make to my site, and I have found constant pagerank montoring to be a good way to know whether a change made to my site will be good for my pagerank or not.
Also, there are thousands of Google datacentres worldwide which all calculate pagerank independently from each other, and therefore your pagerank using the google toolbar or a single pagerank checking tool may not always accurately reflect your true pagerank.
A good way to get your actual pagerank is to use a tool which checks multiple google datacentres and gives you the pagerank on each of them.
I use the following pagerank checking tool to get multiple datacentre pagerank results at once:
