The question of when Google updates the pagerank next is an ongoing one in the webmaster and SEO world.  This question comes up over and over again in each webmaster forum, in each internet marketing forum and any online forum that somehow deals with websites. So when is the next pagerank update anyway?

One of the answer is: all the time. And the other: you never really know.

How so? Well, the true pagerank is updated by Google in real time. After 3-4 months Google updates its green bar at the bottom of your browser. However, as we mentioned before, this is not a real pagerank. It is more an indication of where your site is  on the Google scale. However in real time, by now you might have 1-2 higher rankings than what your green bar shows you, or even lower, depending on how much you might have neglected your site recently. So you see, it’s really a question that noone can truly answer but Google, and they won’t. But if you are really curious, just enter in the Google search engine ‘Google update history’ and you should come up with the history of the updates so far. This way you can predict when a possible next update will be.

One of the best tips I’ve read over and over again is to not really focus on pagerank that much. Just make sure that your site is constantly updated with great content, that you are all the time busy getting relevant backlinks to your site and that your onsite (or onpage) SEO is done properly. Then the rest will take care of itself in due course.
