I have had my board for over 4 years I once enjoyed being PR4 now Google has dropped me to PR2 .. I have put my heart and soul into this board only to be dropped back. How can I gain more ground? I do not have the money to advertise the board. I need back links this is where I feel I have dropped back.. how do i get back links? Thnaks for your advise..
i had a pr3 directory that got pr1 now, so am sad as well, but then keep building backlinks and you will get your pr back. try the articles way, just add a link to your article and submit it to the various article submission sites!
unless you are selling links....Pr is not that important....It is not directly related to your SERPS so it should not be impacting your traffic You probably lost some links or maybe a couple sites that were linking to you started using the rel=nofollow tag...just get more links..
