Is this the Google PR update?

I've been trying to "SEO" my blog since 4 months. I have quite a lot of backlinks but google doesn't show them. Google's sitemap tool shows all (most) of them. Earlier the google toolbar showed "No pagerank information avilable" but Yesterday (9th august) it showed PR 0 (Page rank 0), when I check for backlinks of my blog in google, it only shows my blog and the blog where my blog domain was earlier. The funny thing is this old domain has only one page and it says "We've moved to a new address" and it also shows a PR 0, so what's the difference between my heavily loaded blog and that blog of one paragraph? I have quality backlinks (one from wikipedia's PR 5 page) (but google shows none of them) WHEN THE HELL WILL GOOGLE GIVE ME A NICE PR??

Is this the Google PR update?
Okay, wow. Lots to answer here. :-)





1) Google.com doesn't show all the links that it knows about to your site. In order to see a more complete list of inbound links that Google knows about, you'll need to sign up with Webmaster Central (www.google.com/webmasters), and even then, they don't show every link they know of.





2) The link you have from Wikipedia is no-followed, so it won't be passing you any "link juice." It's still a nice link to have for traffic purposes, though.





3) PR isn't something you should worry about. It has nothing to do with how highly your pages/blog will appear in the SERPs. PageRank today is used mainly as a determining factor for how often and how deeply a page/site gets crawled.





For a blog, the metrics you should be focused on are


- daily traffic


- feed/RSS subscribers


- amount of comments





As those things grow over time, your PR will follow. But really, with a blog, it's all about feed subscribers, comments, and traffic.





Hope this helps.
