So, I've had my site up for 3 weeks now... Google's had it indexed for 2 weeks... but when I look at my Google webmaster tools, it still says "PageRank not yet assigned", even though I've got a few good backlinks (I think...) that should give it -something-. How long does it take before I will have a pagerank?Hi,If there are links to your site, you actually do have a PR, you just can't see it yet.Google continually figures PR, from the first time they find a link to your site. However, they only update the PR on the toolbar every 3 months or so. (That value is just a "snapshot" of what the PR of the site was at a given point in time, usually a couple weeks or so before the toolbar is updated.)Google is due to update the toolbar PR any day now. So hang in there, you may have a toolbar PR soon.Or, your site may be too new, and you'll get toolbar PR the next time around.Don't worry too much about PageRank - in the grander scheme of things it doesn't matter much. (It's just one factor Google uses to rank sites in the search results, and not the most important one.) And while you're waiting for that little green line to appear, concentrate on developing your site's content, and gaining links to your site. Those are the things that will benefit you in the long run.More here: http://www.quantawebdesign.com/pagerank.htmlGood luck with your site!cheers ~DeniseYes, that's true. As google indexed your page, it has already a PR on your page but you just don't know what it is yet.The PR you'll see on the toolbar goes from 0 to 10, but the PR assigned to your web pages is about 0.0000000000000000000000000001. If you add up all the pagerank for all the pages on the internet, the total comes to 1.Updating the Google page rank takes some time. Because the ranking procedure is calculated by no of votes that sites have got on particular time. No of votes may be no of back links, no of visitors or etc.So being a newbie, you have to concentrate on the other possibilities to get visitors to your sites.Add your sites to other search engines.Submit your site to directoriesParticipate on social networking,forum activitiesDo some keyword analysis& Internal link text optimizationWrite articlesKeep focus on content &update regularlyPromote your site with some campaignsSearch engines frequently crawl the sites.
