PR Drop

why has this time so many sites PR been dropped? I have noticed this number of sites and new sites getting PR are totally normal.

 

My PR went up

 

My website with huge pages indexed, with backlinks increasing....
PR was 6 around 1 year back, then came down to 5 and now 4.

 

many of my sites gone down by PR1, which is why i am curious.

 

A lot of sites dropped, but no change in the PR of my SEO Blog, so I'm happy.. at least it didn't fall

 

couple of my site dropped a point but my newest site that i started few months back got its first PR which is 5 so i'm happy overall. besides, i myself is not too concerned about PR these days because PR doesn't really bring any traffic itself. i have seen site with PR0 being on the top and site with PR3 or 4 is way below for the same keyword. so PR is not the ony thing.

 

maybe because gg changed their algo,, as all said its about on the page basis..

 

what do you mean by page basis? can you elaborate a little please

 

There is rumor Google checking high PR sites manually. Sites like New York Times lost PR.

 

My PR just up from 2 -3 and has better position in SERP. Im using 3waylink as in my signature

 

my pr has remained the same but my new sites have picked up PR..

but as u guys probably already know PR is not that important for positioning.. i have a few PR2 doing really well for very competitive keywords...

proper SEO work is much more important that high PR

 

dont sell link on your sites - link sell = bad PR

 

after the google paid links algo change , most of the web sites has lost their pr.

google has deleted some of backlinks for every web site

 

Don't be surprise if your PR is drop cheer up focus on your SERP.

 

Google has changed their algorythm that calculates PR. They seem to be reducing PR of sites that sell text links for PR.

They are trying to discourage this.

 

Link selling has devastated everything.. no body could ever imagine this disastrous state... well i want to ask one question that if we go for payperpost or any other campaigns like them, are we still selling links and going to be banned...

 

I guess I lucked out because all mine went up. Even the site I sold a few months ago jumped up. The sites that seem to be dropping are the ones that have openly purchased or sold links.

 

My PR goes Up from 0 to 4

 

Public PR has nothing to do with SERPs.
It has no real value any more. I wonder why people still take it into account.
What really matters these days is SERPS.

 

This will be some reasons
Duplicate content from other sites or duplicate domains with same content.
Using Black-hat techniques.
Keyword stuffing (this will end-up in site getting banned)
