Hell SEOs everyone, I found the google has been updated very recently about 2-3 days before from today, After updating the Page Rank of my website www.tendernews.com has been down to 2 from 3 earlier, whereas it has been showing more backlinks 185 from 141. I don’t know why its happened I don’t know. Look on some possibilities that cause it got such effects… Black hat seo techniques Link building from low valued pages Content theft from other sites (spamdexing) Linking from penalized sites If the above are the possibilities causes then I am sure about that these is not been worked to slashing my website homepage PR. I neither did black hat tenchniques nor I collected links from low valued directories. I used blogging for linking Tehdernews.com . http://tendernews.wordpress.com is my lonely blog, whenever you check backlink link:www.tendernews.com , you got the half of its recognized backlinks are from wordpress blog. Collecting a lot of links from blogs i.e. wordpress blog , is harmful?
OK it could be a number of things, but may I point out first that Google hides a lot of the links. So doing a 'link:' search is not accurate. Instead I suggest you use Yahoo to show the number of links pointing to your site because it shows a lot more. Right here's some possible explanations 1) The websites linking to you may have lost some PR therefore no longer passing as much PR juice on to you 2) The websites linking to you may now also be distrubuting the PR to more other sites, thus passing a lesser portion onto you 3) An algorithmic change in Google may have devalued some of the links you have pointing to you 4) A website linking to one of the sites linking to you has experienced a decrease in PR, therefore passing less onto the website linking to you and thus less on to you. As you can see, there are many many reasons and a lot of it you can't control because a drop in PR one website can have a ripple effect that indirectly effects the PR of your own website. The only way you can keep up with PR is to just keep on getting more quality backlinks. However, perhaps the most important thing to learn is that PR is really very unimportant. A low PR website can still rank high for it's search terms, in fact many low PR sites populate the top spots and as long as you're gettting visitors and sales then you're sitting pretty.
