Hello i m running a forum.... my google PR was 3 ... but yesterday it went down to 1 i really dun kno why ... or wat happened ... can some1 please guide me about PR ... that why/how does it goes down/up ... thnxx
I think Forums are a little bit slow in this pagerank updated. People say, 80% webmasters are happy of this pagerank updated. All the forums that I went to have their pagerank not changed, so does my forum.
I lost one PR5 backlink, and the site went from a 3 to a 2, and my SERPs dropped as well for a few big keywords
Is the update still in progress. I went and check my back links and it went from 7,226 to 844. Maybe its just not done yet
I think they atill are updating. You could have lost some links or they do not give weight to them anymore also.
My home page dropped from PR 5 to 4. No surprise, because some of my better backlinks were from directories. And as we know, Google has hammered a lot of directories recently. I think I lost a PR6 backlink, which all by itself may have been able to cause the drop from PR5 to 4.
"that why/how does it goes down/up " PR depends on the number and quality of back links. May be you lost some back links and that is why your site's PR was dropped. Anyway, the real thing that matters is the traffic which you get from good search results ranking. Concentrate on building relevant and quality backlinks and your search results ranking + PR will improve.
As some have posted, it is important to keep getting good-quality backlinks. That has been my regular practice for years. The main point of my post was to point out that the loss (or devaluation) of even one or two high-PR backlinks can reduce your PR, as happened to mine. That's quite understandable, since PR is linked to the quality and quantity of your backlinks. Fortunately, I have always pursued a broad-based SEO strategy and have by no means depended on or focused unduly on PR. So traffic has continued to rise, thankfully, even to record levels for me in the past month.
once I add a resource page with 100s of links on my site after few days I found taht my home page pr drop from 5 to 4. It simultaneously remove those links and it takes around 6 months to get back to 5pr
yes i guess i lost too many backlinks... because, my hosting is not that goood.. server goes down for 3 hours twice a week i havent got a good server yet... btw i got ma own VPS but still... having isssue
