No Google toolbar pagerank update for a couple of weeks (via Matt Cutts)

Just read an interesting tidbit written by Matt Cutts over at the Digital Point forum. His post can be found here. You can read the post, but the interesting part is quoted here:

"As far as the toolbar PageRank, I definitely wouldn't expect to see it in the next few days. Probably not even in the next couple weeks, if I had to guess."

The post in which Mr. Cutts posted the comment is here.

So, I'm guessing that we're looking at late October or early November, just in time for the holiday season. It's just my opinion, though.

This and your other post of possible "new major algo changes coming from Google" shows how dependent on page rank we are.

You might find my blog post on Google Page Rank and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle interesting.

Thanks,

Aw shucks, thats too bad they are delaying the algo update so long... I was really interested to see how it was going to affect some sites :/

You are probably right that it'll be around October. Its too bad its going to be so far from now, I can't wait to see how my PR will be

Great post Gary!

I'm not too worried about the PR update, but I noticed a HUGE drop in SERPs for one of my sites this weekend (from top 30 to about page 9). It always makes me wonder what I did wrong to piss off the Google kings.
