I did a little more researching after a lot of people complaining of large backlinks but no PR well I located a great website that explains why.
Page Rank Update List
This Page Rank Update/Export List History contains the dates that Google Toolbar Pagerank (PR) was exported. As of April 12th, there has not been a Toolbar PR export for 76 day(s). The longest time between toolbar PR exports recorded in the below Page Rank Export List was 122 days (Oct 19/2005 to Feb 18/2006)….
This better reflects what is happening when there is a visible change in these three items. There is only an export not an update. The word update will be reserved for Algorithm Updates which will cause a change in the search engine rankings.
The Toolbar Pagerank, Google Directory Pagerank, and Backlink exports don’t cause a change in search engine rankings. Any ranking changes during the export of the values of these three items is due to on going everflux changes - unless there is an algorithm update happening at the same time.
PR/BL Estimations: Average days between the last 5 exports.

I don’t know much about it, but I’ve always had the idea (read it somewhere I guess) that PR was updated quarterly or thereabouts.

April 13, 2007 @ 6:27 amThat’s quite interesting. I don’t know very much about this stuff, but that was quite a fascinating read.
