I really can't believe it!! I'm shocked by this man! thanks for showing this site to me! There are about 7 websites copying my content!! I can't believe it! And don't be fooled by the date of the posts, I simply update the post date so it looks as if I'm updating all the time. Sadly I don't have time like I once had to work on the site.. But wow. That's realllly annoying!! I'm going to use copyscape to fight those site. Thanks DocuMaker, at least now I know why my PR went down so dramatically.
It could be the Panda algorithm, or sites that had your links were penalised and as a consequence your site dropped in PR
Maybe you're right. Cause I can't see any other possible reason. so guys.. anyone want to exchange links with me? Adsense-Exposure (as you probably understand, I'll accept only good content site...) Thanks!
All of my newer sites that were PR 1 or 2 are now 0. My PR 3, which has been that for a year, is now a 1. Thing is, I can't get good backlinks with a bad PR, so yeah, PR does count. Not only did Panda kill my rev share earnings almost completely, making it very hard to make a living, but now I can't even find my blogs in search, when they were usually on the top 2 pages. I keep adding content, keep trying to get links, but it's not helping. I feel like I'm being cyber-waterboarded! On an upnote, the people who DO manage to find my blogs are clicking more ads, evidently, because my earnings are going up. Guess that's what really matters, right?
I'll try and help, Did you recently run any major link campaigns directly to your money site? Are you blasting your site with any SEO tools daily or weekly? IF you are, are you using a 3 or 4 tier link structure? Have you been selling links on your website to pass page rank? Has anyone strange contacted you on gtalk or msn asking you questions about the website? Hope I can help. Cheers!
- its because of the Google update. but don't worry its only a page rank. what is more important in my opinion is traffic. How is your traffic? did it change when your pr decreases?
When I see a pr drop it is almost always due to links dropping off or being downgraded....start by checking your links first. However as long as you are ranked where you want to be I won't get to hung up on it - keep adding quality content and good links!! Good luck!
From a business point of view PR makes absolutely no difference, but I's still rather my site was a PR 9 than a PR 2!
PR is one thing which Google is no more considering in their algorithm unless otherwise if it's an authority site which is live for last few years. Google recently updated its PR structure and I am sure it's no more counting the quantity of backlinks to your site but rather it counting the quality of a backlink. A site with just 10 backlinks can have a PR5 compared to a site which has 10 to 20k links but PR1. So solution is to get backlinks from your niche sites, participate in the community, help other people and get appreciated.
Yup and as long as there still will be some stupid threads about the "importance" of Google's PR, this crying about lost PR is not gonna stop for the next few years, unless Google itself finally gets rid of their PR myth. My site's Google PR is as important to me as it is when in China a sack of rice falls off the pile.
