Dear Masters Till last evening my site was at 1st position on aol search and on 3rd on google for a keyword.But today morning when i saw the pr updates i was very happy as my site gained pr from 0 to 4.So with pr =4 i was very happy but now i dont know what the hell had happened as website is not shown even on the first page.. Can anyone help me out of this?? Is the PR update anyway linked to it? Masters i need your suggestions to come out of it
Well, it could be possible that there are other similiar websites which got updated and pushing them ahead of you. The thing is that it is possible that there are hundreds if not thousands of new sites are all vying for the top place. You cannot have all first, only one site can take that place.
But the same website which showed on 3rd spot before 24 hours is not even showing in first 5 pages ..
THE PR update you are seeing is just an export of real PR that is updated very frequently. So, even if it seems a PR jump to you, it was a gradual process within google. No need to relate this with your SERP changes.
As PR is not the only factors for search result, so you need to check other things as well. make sure you did not change anything you already optimized. For me i thin onpage optimize is more important than off-page optimize like PR. Hope you get back to position soon. ^^
It´s very unlikely that the drop in positions is related with the PR update, as your and your competitors popularity was already taken into account before the PR update.
