Guys, What exactly happened to my blog? Is it because of the newest update for PR? My blog drop from PR2 to PR0 and previously i was rank top 10 for keywords "importance of smile" and now it seems nowhere! Is it because hijacking from people? Ive no idea.. Please!!! http://www.johnbaem.com
Read the Google Guidelines, since your site's PR dropped from PR 2 to PR 0, it is penalized. You can correct this by reading the Google Webmaster Guidelines.
That would be my guess too, a drop like that means G thought you were doing something you shouldn't have been.
It is a good chance that they found out that you either bought or sold links. I had one of my blogs penalized by Google and they removed all PR and back links. I had over 2800 back links and now it says 1 and the PR says N/A from PR3. It happens, just work on correcting whatever you did and don't do it again unless you want to suffer the penalty. Most webmasters know what they did even though they play innocent when the penalty comes. Beware that if you sell links on DP, there is a good chance that you will be caught even if you only reveal your URL by PM.
Guys, I never sell links or either buy it in here or elsewhere.. Is it because i promo domain that i wish to flip? Its kinda confusing me at this time and i dont have any idea why should they penalized me.. Is it because my siggy said that i wanna sell the site? Or else, probably because of content inside it? Ive unqiue content on my blog while other im trying to use plugin from Wpress. Is it because of that?
Lots of factor to consider in such event, even I experience a PR drop from 3 to 2 but that's reasonable for me.
That sounds ok from 3 to 2, maybe we can take it as another blog is gaining link, popularity and such. But, when 2 goes to NOTHING. It must be something. I check already all my backlink, all is good and just a minor editing i should done.. Other than that, i still cant figure it out~
Usually there are two main reasons. One is getting penalized and another is loss of important backlinks. Just research and find out the reason but don't get discouraged just because of PR loss. Continue to work harder on your SEO and focus on getting more and better backlinks.
Im not discourage sir.. its only i need to know the reasons.. It only after i did SEO onpage and offpage optimization well, rank top 10 form 4 mill searchers, i think im proud of myself.. Its only i dont know WHY...
