Google reduced the Page Rank

**Jessica** · 10-12-2008, 09:51

Did anyone noticed change in the way google ranked the sites in past?

Page rank is a nature of web for using link for the individual link of the site. Important, high-quality sites receive a higher Page Rank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search. But google has cut down the Page Ranking atleast for 1 Page Ranking.

What that resulted? Is it effected the progress of the traffic ( if i am not wrong it is going to do), then how to increase the Page Ranking of the site?

I've not noticed any recent PageRank changes. I wasn't aware that they were conducting such modifcations. Anyone else heard of this?

Add good content to your website and try out to get more backlinks and backlinks and backlinks... especially from most relevant and theme based website, oneway.

Few tips to get backlinks:

* Submit your site with high Page Ranking link directories

* Post Comments on Dofollow Blogs

* Join forums ( do follow ) that allow you to have a signature with a link to your own site

* Constantly update your site with quality content, this will help you to get natural backlinks.

Ah right, I understand you know. Well a reduction in PageRank obviously inevitably reduces the exposure of your site and its search engine position - but it only affects the search engine position within Google.

PageRank drop does not affect website traffic directly. Besides it is not the only factor used by Google to determine best search results, rather it is one of the many factors taken into consideration in determining the best search results.

There is no definitive relationship between page rank and SERPs position. PR is a reflection of, primarily, the number of backlinks to a page and also seems to take into account the number of outlinks from that page - that's my personal experience based on the way I have structured a number of sites where all pages are PR5+. We use it as a temperature gage to see if the growth of a page/site is increasing or decreasing.

I had several sites drop page rank earlier this year yet their traffic has continued to increase.

You may notice such significant improvement in terms of traffic/popularity although the page rank drop because you might be getting solid traffic from social media sites rather than SE.

Edit: Sorry if I am touching to a controversial subject, "It's believed that backlinks also play some role in Google SERPs and so on backlinks is also an important factor for Page rank, so in case if your page rank drops that shows you're losing backlinks which reflect that it should have minor effect in SERPs".

**Ryan** · 08-01-2009, 16:10

A shifting of internal link structure, or gaining/losing external links obviously can have impact on the pagerank which to an extent can lead to Google SERPs loss if the backlinks lost are of very high quality.

**paul** · 08-01-2009, 16:20

Yea, that's true, thanks for your post.

Your page rank has no relationship with the actual rankings of your website

You observed a drop in Page Rank. However, did you observe any drop in rankings

If not ! Then why should you worry about increase or decrease in the green fluid within Google toolbar.

Not entirely true, as far as Google listings go and what page you appear on.

I think you are right. Appearing on the top of the page, especially Google, has always entertained internet users to visit your site. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

**Catherine** · 28-01-2009, 21:56

Certainly you are not wrong on this Merrick. If you find a site on 1st rank for the content you are searching then it is but obvious that you will visit that site. I think page rank makes a person feel that your website is quite good and it increases the trust among the visitors. Correct me if I am wrong.

**paul** · 29-01-2009, 09:57

Yep, that's quite obvious but it is not necessary that the website which appears on the first position have good page rank. Even the high ranked page may appear to have a comparatively low pagerank.

**Ryan** · 29-01-2009, 17:51

Pagerank is considered to be one of those many small factors involved in determining search engine rankings of a web page. Losing high quality external links in a short span of time would in all probability impact the pagerank which can in turn lead to Google SERPs loss for the keywords used as anchor text for those links.

Yes, you are right Paul. I have seen several sites with a good rank on search engines but they do not have a good page rank in comparison. But, if a website has a good page rank it certainly creates a very good impact on the visitor and this is a great benefit for the website.

Oh Catherine!

Now I'm like totally

Till date I was assuming that good rank on search engines is as per PR. Now, can you please tell me how are they different from each other and help me clarifying the doubt I have?

PageRank is a value that Google gives to a page, based on the number and type of links to the page. PageRank varies from 0 to 10 with 0 being the lowest rank and 10 being the highest rank assigned by Google to web pages.

Perhaps you should go through this thread thoroughly right from the beginning which would clear up your confusion to a good extent.
