Hi all, What are the reasons or factors for losing Page Rank for website? Please make your suggestion here and let we know to avoid losing PR issue for websites.
Make sure you site link didn't linked on any crap page and also build some quality high pr links for your site.
First of all - except Google - nobody has control on PR. So the factors are just assumptions --- You might loose PR if - 1) Your site is caught buying/selling links. 2) When PR update - and sites/pages linking to you loose their PR 3) When your link is removed from high PR pages/sites.
Google generally penalize if you caught for buying & selling links, recently many blogs have lost their Page rank especially for such reason.
Update your site with good, unique and useful content to your website then people likes to links to your website in natural. So ur PR can easily get increased. Other wise keep doing link building activities like dir submit, book marking etc...
This is just my Opinions, - loss of back links - selling links - selling post review - spamming - Duplicate Content
In addition to all the posts about links - content also plays a key part in gaining/retaining/losing PageRank: 1) A site is rewarded for having fresh content on a regular basis. If your site has not been updated in a long time, don't be surprised to see less green! 2) Quality content will keep visitors interested & ultimately on your site. Anyone who doesn't think Google monitors the bounce rate on sites is a fool! A site that visitors constantly hit the 'back' button on doesn't make a good impression - and don't expect it to keep all it's PR if that is the case! Other possibilities: * Bought domains with fake PR (we've all been stung ) * Change of site structure / content (new content is good - but changing old content can wreak havoc on your PR and rankings) * Changing your hosting Note: This is not to say that all these things WILL reduce your PageRank, but they CAN in my experience influence it.
