PR4 to PR1 !?!

Hey Google afficionados - I need your help.

For the past 4 months I have spent time link building (including 4 $200 press releases via PRweb) and optimizing my website. Yesterday my site went from a PR4 to PR1!?!

Some pages are "No Pagerank Info Available" and all others are all just PR1.

I always play by the rules and use high-quality relevent content such as original articles, videos, etc to build links.

Can anyone offer any insight as to this matter? Is it possible that I have just temporarily dropped from PR4 to PR1 and will go back up?

Any and all insight is greatly appreciated in advance.

 

I suspect that the update is still being calculated. Give it a couple more weeks, then panic.

 

If you are doing things only to increase the size of the green bar, you are likely to be disappointed now and in the future. Toolbar PR looks nice, I'll admit I like it, but it is not what is important unless your goal is to sell links on a PRx page. The PR you see in the toolbar is not really indicative of what Google thinks about a particular page today.

 

Google It's still updating. It will stabilize once the update is complete.

 

Yep, I double that. Give it some more time when the update is officially over and then panic. It might be some temporary situation ..

Cheers,

PR updation is still in process so do not panic and wait for some more time

 

i agree 100%. i'm pr 5 and yet there are sites with lower pr that outrank me

the toolbar is nice to look at and nothing else and is not an indicator of where you will rank in the serps - and that is what counts

 

Go and be,ieve in the Google rules 100% -- be ready to get DOOMED. Be ready to play a little bit with Google PR & SERPs algo -- you r a WINNER.

Hope you get the point across -- DON'T ACT BLIND.

 

I know PR is a nice way to measure your SEO progress but if my PR goes down I will just laugh, it doesent matter man, take it easy.

 

Theres no such thing as 'playing by the rules' when building links in order to increase PR

 

You can't be sure until the update is over. Then you can panic and start these kind of threads.

 

hahahaha...
3 of my site from 5 to 0

but thank God, traffics goes up till 400% << the only matter.......

 

I think it is better to wait a few more weeks for a more accurate result.

 

One of my websites jumped form PR:2 to PR:5 I hope it stays like this.

 

Thank you all for you responses - I guess it's time to play Google's Waiting Game.

 

Never play googles waiting game. Just keep building more links and working on your SEO.

 

PR should not be matter of concern as long as you get a decent traffic.

 

Don't be bothered about PR....>>think more on "Trust Rank". How you can build...more 'authority"...

 

it could go back up but still sucks. i hate it when things like this happen to me. they just piss me off

 

lots of things happening with Google PR update, we don't know of. Its possible that they changed the page rank algorithm, and your rank went down. But I would say they not sure either. Wait until its over.
