Negative SEO tactics

Is there anything that can be done to decrease your PR (not within your site)? I am submitting my site to a ton of directories and blogs. I've been able to get my site up to a PR 5.

I really don't think you can decrease your PR by adding to the wrong blogs or directories, if that was the case, I would simply add my competitors. Has anyone had any experiences with paid blog submissions or directories actually having a negative impact on their SEO?

 

I wud suggest you don't run for PR & target to get unique visitors & traffic for your site. PR is not such a big thing & u said u have 5 PR that's enough.

 

Well yes there is, but for what you are doing then no. Also I'd be far more concerned about my rankings then PR personally.

 

I think links on p0rn sites might lower your PR but I am not sure about that.

 

IMO, i will give the preference to SERP' Rankings,
Than i will go to increase PR...
And person who says "PR is worthless"

All you guys expert than Google PR Algorigthm, infact every one wants PR, but wants to show off here, how they are only concentrating on SERP's.

Good SERP's + Higher PR = Successful SEO.

 

Infact those sites also have good PR...

 

No, i can honestly tell you i couldn't care less about PR. Last update during the snapshot one of my main sites was down 4 days and most the pages went from PR5 to Gray PR. I thought it was funny as heck because this site dominates the SERP's with Gray PR.

I sold a PR8 site in 2006 so having a domain go from PR0 to PR5 has about as much importance to me as the wind going north or south today. Sure i check my main sites after an update to see what happened, but after i close the browser window it's the last i think about it until next update.

I don't sell links or do link exchanges, so tell me why i should get excited about PR?

 

Because it will give you a warm fuzzy feeling when you see the whole bar is filled in green? Surely getting a higher PR is a consequence of doing SEO?

For me, it's also a good reference point when clients come to me and say "wow, you have an alexa rank of XXX and a PR X, you must be good". I've given up explaining that both of these are not good metrics to measure the success of an SEO project.

Why would you want to do that? If you do black hat SEO techniques, you will probably decrease in PR (& also get banned). Well, if you remove backlinks and stop doing SEO you'll loose PR in the next update.

I don't think paid blog submissions can cause huge decrease in PR.

 

What I think 'white hat" SEO is the best way to get the best result. And its true to attain better SERPs should be your main goal.

 

Also, most "normal" internet users, instead of seo's, have absolutely no idea of what PR means.

 

PR has nothing to do with google rankinks.

 

There has been some talk that linking from bad neighborhoods can effect your PR in a bad way. But I don't think there is a much proof.

 

I guess You should do it alone instead of talk openly. It is not recommended to do that. If you submit spam comments, It has some negative effect.

 

Yes you can decrease your page rank by using paid sites which will definitely decrease your pr

 

a site will be on good standing if they have excellent serp's and a high number rank. that would be ideal

 

What you should consider is what page it will be on and that pages' PR is or will be in the futrue. Most directories have become worthless becasue of google giving the main site a PR 2. This means any page that your link will be on will have no value and therefore a waste of time.

Also, many of the forums and blogs are applying the "nofollow" attribute to all of their outbound link (you link) and this blocks the transfer of page rank to your site.

And the only way google will get upset with you is if you do this to fast ~25 sites per week at first.

 

Try following, it works

1) Link out to few banned sites (link farms, penalized sites because of spam, malware etc). Prefer links from your homepage.
2) Obtain number of backlinks from gambling and porn forums and sites.

 

white hat SEO is the best way to get the best result and log time Result.
