    hello all,

    i'm not a specialist when come to sitemap, so i'll try to explain as clearly as possible ... i've submitted my blogspot to google webmaster sitemap ... so far i can it being indexed ...

    previously i noticed the following at the "statistic" tab ... under crawl stats you have "high", "medium" and "low" ranking for pages which google allocate PR to ... i noticed the bar for "medium" was about 10% while 90% is on "low" ... :(

    but today i noticed the medium-bar has reduced to about 1 or 2 % (a small green bar) while the low-bar has increased ... does this means the PR of my blog will be affected in the next PR review? i've been updating my blog with content on daily basis ... :eek:

    but most importantly is google sitemap accurate and actually tells us significant story behind such data? :confused:

    cheers and thanx for sharing ...

    Since you are adding more content you may see as a % of your total pages the bar go down. This does not mean that your ranks are going down anly that your adding more total pages. Many times blog software will have multiple versions of pages created for each post.

    This means if your adding 5 new blog posts you could have a lot of new content. So since you have a lot of new lower ranking pages when you first add a page, expect this bar to grow faster than the others : ) Your doing good.

    hello spartan ... thanx for your feedback ... are you sure it's ok when the percentage goes down? doesn't that means my low-ranking pages have actually "diluted" the overall ranking?

    i thought it's better to have medium or high ranking pages in order to get higer PR the next time it review ... correct me if i'm wrong ...

    The 4 percentage bars, (low medium high and no page rank) don't effect the entire website's PR, it just shows where most of your pages fit. Each page has a different PR and your homepage will stay PR4/5 even if you have 1000 PR0 pages.
