If you are member of some webmaster related forums you will agree with me that one of the most frequently asked questions is when will the next Google pagerank update occur. This question deserves it's own article which will deeply explain this problem. So, when will the next Google pagerank update occur?

There may be two different answers for this question:

1. Pagerank update occurs in realtime. It is updated now, it was updated yesterday and will be also updated tomorrow.
2. Nobody knows.

And both answers are true.

How is this possible? Because when most of webmasters speak about pagerank update they mean pagerank displayed in the Google toolbar. This tool is updated only a few times in a year. Toolbar pagerank may help internet marketers to find out how important is particular domain in Google's view. But it has no impact on the search results. Even though your website shows PR 0 in the toolbar it can have good real pagerank.

The real pagerank is updated in real time. This is the reason why new websites can rank well even though their toolbar pagerank shows zero. But there is now way how to discover the real pagerank value.

Experienced internet marketers advise don't care too much about values showed by Google toolbar. It is only one of many tools and as any other tool it is not 100% accurate. The main reason is that it is updated only a few times a year, usually once every 3 months. To find out when the last updated occurred just Google for something like "Google update history." If you look at the history of the updates you can expect when will be the next one depending on the date of the last Google pagerank update.
