3 Year old blog gets traffic PR decreased from 3 to 1

Yup it is, an confused me a bit lol. As long as the traffic keeps going up, I dont mind too much. Would like it to grow back to a 3 and then to 5, but traffic is key I guess.

Need to build some backlinks I guess.

 

Backlinks determine PR#.

 

so the more back links the higher the PR? Is this soley what its based on>?

 

There are members on DP who made their own projections on how the website's PR is calculated based upon the PR value of inbound links, I don't have links to those posts but I remember seeing them somewhere around DP.

 

superb I will hunt the thread down next weekend, when I have more spare time. the learning curve continues!
