I have an established site with a pr of 4 with decent backlinks over 1000 and google drops it 1 point but I create some stupid .wordpress blog two months ago with only 43 backlinks and it goes from zero pr to a pr of 4 with no seo whatsoever????? Doesnt make any sense!!!!@!@!
dude , congrats for the new pr 4 and sorry for the google penalty you received on the first one. It happens all the time, happened to me before.. Just keep the white hat seo and all will be ok
have you ever sold links on your 'former' PR4 site? Have you any duplicate content on that site? If you do, google penalizes you for this. I would guess that your wordpress blog is all unique content as well.
Their ranking system has never made any sense to me. The one site I worked on took 6 months to get any ranking and then it went to a 3. 6 months later it was down to 2. My personal site went to a PR 3 within a month of going live then fell 1 point at the same time the other one did. <shrug> Oh well.
PR is passed from other sites linking to yours. Google discounts link exchanges and links they feel are not natural (like paid links). The sites linking to you could have had their PR drop or added more links on the page that links to yours, thus decreasing the PR those links pass individually. Don't worry about PR.
PR is "just a number" if you don't sell links. Don't panic because of this, just keep up the good work mate.
Yes Friend We need to just Hard work in On page + Off page after that google will send you PR and Back links. PR is important in some cases but most important is your SERP. quality Traffic is the most important.so i will try to get the More back links with targeted keywords. Thanks Eric (GTWLABS)
No one really knows how Google calculate PR. One of my sites have thousands of backlinks but only have a PR1, another site only have one third of backlinks but have a PR3.
Same here, have a site with PR4 and only 300+ bl, and a PR2 site with 12k+ bl, but pr is not that important.
