Last Sunday, on the 13th of January, Google again put up a crawl for PR and backlinks.
The last time Google updated the PR and backlinks was on the last week of October which was after a gap of six months. But this time the gap was only for three months.And to be more precise am not sure what the crawl was mainly for PR?? Backlinks?? Rr both?? Well, the reason it seems Google has changed it method of crawling.
Earlier whenever there was a crawl for PR and backlinks only those links would be highlighted that added the PR value to the already existing PR of the website. What I could analyze from three of my websites after the latest crawl was that all links present for the website would be cached by the spiders.
The PageRank for one of my website did increase and so did it's PR, but the backlinks for the other couple of websites that I work upon increased from 49 to a whopping 265!!! and from 11 to 170....respectively.
Various inputs are terming this crawl to be partial.Check
this out.
