Hello i have been working hard trying to get my PageRank 3 too a pagerank 4! But after a while of doing some work, i have just checked my PR and its now gone down too a 2!!! What could of possibly caused this?
PR means nothing, a year ago, PR showed you how well are you doing on the internet based on how many Links you have back to your website - now if you have outbound links that are not "nofollow" then they decide to penalize you - retarded imo it's better not to worry about PR - worry about your traffic, that's how you should see your site as being successful
i agree somehow to njoker about focusing on getting nice traffic. and also IMO PR was a sense of the site. being active and trusted. if your PR degrade dont dismay but see things and note what make this thing come out.. and share to us.. "if you dont mind"
PR is only important if you sell links on your site. Otherwise, these guys are right. Only traffic matters.
Not like that. I sold a link on couple of my websites one has pr 2 and the other has pr 0 both treated as same. do not concentrate on PR. concentrate on traffic, etc.
I agree completely that PR is a gonner and not much relevant in todays world.....However, i must say that google is trying to encourage people by giving irrelevant PR to new websites...Cos one of my site had been created recently in May...and without any backlinks or link exchange work..it gained a PR of 4... I am sure many will agree with me on this.
definitely agree lol - my arcade for example - i did absolutely no work on it, its a PR1 - also i have a parked domain that went from a PR0 to a PR2 for no reason. my forum has 80k+ backlinks and it was dropped from a 3 to a 0...i stopped following PR and whatever it is that google does with it since december or so
Same here,my siet had PR 3 but last week i lost PR 1, its now PR 2, but my three other sites got PR increase.
maybe your site has insufficient backlinks that's why it decrease to PR2, Google consider quality backlinks a lot especially in terms of PR increase!
