I am completely baffled by page rank. My index page with thousands of links pointing to it and a predicted pr5 stayed at 0. Yet some inner pages, with no links pointing to them got pr1. I dont get it.

Were you involved in text link sellings (TLA or Review sites)? If yes this confirms my believe that the penalized sites remain penalized (by not shifting up) on this quarter.

I didn’t see any changes on my main site even though I added hundreds of quality backlinks since the last update. I think google hates me Last update they dropped me from PR4 to PR2 and now there was nothing.

Thats very well said Famous Quotes, it is never smart to have all sources in one basket. But the whole nature of this blog is to prove that you can do seo too.

Now even tho having all sources in one basket is not good, targeted traffic from search engines (mainly, but as well as from relevant sites) converts way much better, hence the search engine traffic does need your attention, especially if you are running a online business.

One shouldn’t worry too much about PR because it’s the traffic not the PR that matters. It’s never a good idea to depend only on search engines for traffic as SEs will change their algorithms from time to time to better their service; that’s their job.

LoL Catherine,
From what I see, those that were previously penalized on PageRank haven’t moved up or down but you can still bribe.

To me it doesn’t bug that much, especially because I got no intentions to monetize this site by text links or similar thingies, what I do care more about is the SERPs (and the site is slowly ranking better and better).

This sucks – so we’re all getting hammered.

I’m interested to see what John Chow gets. If his goes up, I’m going to start bribing people to link to me too.

Hm…I dunno…is it possible that it’s still going on? Because my site is showing a zero for the moment, it was two, but the prediction was 4…

I sure hope that it will rise later
