Where's my PR4?

Two days ago I changed my blog to a digg like site, and at the time of this writing it's still under construction. It was with a strong PR4 for about a year already, but when I checked again today, it read 'unranked'.

Was the slap due to the site change? How can I get my PR back?

Thank you

 

Yea maybe.. changing your site is about like transplanting a live healthy plant into new soil and surrounding. It goes into shock and wilts for a few weeks..

Might have to wait a few weeks to see how google plays that out for you.. Not sure but it may not come totally back to full PR rank.. right away.

I have no clue what the above means....

Changing you sites design will not effect the pagerank, it will however affect your SERPs. Now, if you mean you change your site as in new urls, pages etc then yes you can expect to lose your PR4.

This is due to the fact that none of your inbound links are pointed to the correct page, if the domain is the same any inbound links to the domain name top level will still pass on pagerank juice.

 

try to put ur url here..let me see and analyze for you

 

If your URLs changed during your redesign, look into using 301 redirects to point old link juice to new.

 

Hi Boulder,
Thanks for the quick reply, yeah, I don't mind waiting if I can get it back.

Hi cdpm,
Certainly, it's http://www.rockyourvote.net Thank you.

Hi ssandecki,
Thank you for input. Well, the url is still the same, ie http://www.rockyourvote.net The blog was at http://www.rockyourvote.net with PR4, and after I moved it to http://www.rockyourvote.net/blog and installed pligg on http://www.rockyourvote.net, the PR got dropped.

 

Looks to me that your site is showing a pr4 when i pull it up.

 

Yeah it's kinda weird, it's showing pr4 on google toolbar in IE7 but it's still reading 'unranked' on pr extension in firefox. And, I've checked livepr, all data centers read 0/10 .

 

I am also seeing pr 4...

 

smackthat, not that it my business or anything. But just curious why you would disrupt you PR4 blog like that? The blog site looks like a great site to me, very nice.. maybe doing a domain.com/pligg may have been better than doing the domain.com/blog.. LOL


I am not fully aware of your exact situation, although from the outside looking in it would seam that doing the pligg in the sub may have been more healthy for your nice PR4 blog.
