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.

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.

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.

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??

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,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?
by sam on 04/16/2006 at 10:43:33 PM UTC
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?
by Natalie on 06/08/2006 at 6:20:20 AM UTC
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.
by takeiteezzy.terry on 06/19/2006 at 5:54:56 AM UTC
Actually, I think it takes a little more than 3 months for Google to show page rank. I checked it at many popular blogs and the result is same.
Even at you blog the last post that has a pagerank is dated March 10 at http://www.petefreitag.com/item/549.cfm
The post after that on March 18th has still not been ranked at http://www.petefreitag.com/item/550.cfm

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!

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:

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?

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.

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?
by Ashwini on 04/03/2007 at 8:07:32 AM UTC
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!
by auburn8888 on 04/14/2007 at 10:11:45 PM UTC
Ashwini, what does "rel="nofollow" in the link" mean?
by auburn8888 on 04/14/2007 at 10:16:08 PM UTC
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).
