As we all know the results shown by big G always affect not only users but the website owner’s too.It is not old news that it has done changes in its algorithms, which affect lots of websites. The changes are termed as PANDA ALGORITHM. The name not only affects most of the websites but also horrifies those who did not get affected. What PANDA says? According to it a Useful Website 1. Will pass a human inspection. 2. Is not splattered heavy with advertising. 3. Is well linked externally. 4. Have all original content. 5. Does not have a 100 % bounce rate. Now what is surprising is its own PR got dropped while mine (www.linkbullets.com) got rose. Have you found any effect on your website?
I got PageRank 4 from PageRank 0 for a new website (5 months old)... What I think it really matters is good, unique content and strong links, backlinks related to your niche... and of course, patience...
Google Panda does not affect page rank. It just an algoritm that compares the content of a website and is searching for duplicate content and for content agregators. There are also other minor modifications/fine tunning that google makes now and then, but i don't believe that google panda has anything to do with google page rank.
I already said in other post that pagerank is losing its importance so keep concentrate on other seo tricks. You should read seo experts articles.
I don't think that Google Panda will affect Page Rank in any way. But what it will affect is the placing of your site in the Search Engine's result pages.
Look Now a days each and every new website and blogs get pr 3 to 6 easily even they are cheap or spammy 2nd If blog or website regularly updated and bounce rate is controlled then it may be possible to get top search page
