Google PR from 2 to 0 - why?

[thegunninghawk]

Good morning friends.

Can anyone help me understand how come my blog has gone from PR2 to PR0 in just a matter of weeks?

I have something like 20+ websites linking back to me so I am finding it really strange that it's PR0. I used http://www.prchecker.info/check_page_rank.php to check.

Website is: http://www.thegunninghawk.com

Thank you.

Seeing it's a wordpress page something is weird. Has your traffic changed?
Your wordpress is updated, correct?

(Personally PR means nothing if your getting the traffic. That is what you want, traffic right?)

Hi Corneo, thank you for the reply, very kind.

I changed nothing lately, just self-hosted the blog but that was more than a month ago. I do get traffic, but from news aggregators, not from Google. I ask for link-exchange but since the PR is "0", many are reluctant to do so.

[corneo]

The only thing I can think of is updating your wordpress. I have no clue why your PR is 0.
Then again I pay no attention to PR's I want traffic.

Wish I could be more help.

noticed you have many backlinks

it happens to many new sites (less than a year)

do not worry , just wait for next PR updating

BTW: Merry Christmas

I noticed a drop in PR on one of my sites as well and then in a week or two it came back to what it was - so maybe this will happen for you too.

Good luck!

PR2 - 0 is not much diff and all the RP less tan 5 can wary. But since 2 months dont find any site updated PR. So tell me when its happend

[redpowerpc]

you get traffic but not PR, you need to do some check list what your doing before with your site, and after that you get PR 0.

any live PR checker u guys know which really checks the Live PR?

This is common, Google is messing with the algo's again, stop looking at the PR crack, because it means nothing, all that matters is traffic.

Are you still ranked in the right places

Did you lose any positions in the organic listings

This is what I would worry about, this whole PR thing is just a ego trip. Google should of never released this to the public, the internet would be better off.

You wouldn't be asking this question, you would continue on with doing what your suppose to do instead of looking at this PR crack.

Give your visitors value and you will be rewarded.

Thanks a lot guys, you help was very, very helpful, all the best for the new year!

if it happens, its just temporary, you can earn it back again so don't worry...you might want to spend more effort on gaining traffic to your site which is far more good than working on increasing back your PR.

[thegunninghawk]

Just a short note that it's now back above 0, up to 3.

Thanks again for your help

[so.ray2000]

that could be couple reasons, maybe the site which link to your site pr changed, that will affect your pr

[tdgac]

In agreement... traffic is what counts. You'll spend your entire life trying to figure out Google's PR and end up in the loony bin.

I have 6 blogs recently one of blog dropped from PR 3 to 0 and when January comes it goes back to PR 3 then one of blog got PR 0 from PR 3.

I just laugh and get confuse after that. Maybe its because of insufficient back links.

[rypher21]

it normally happens, just continue creating quality links for your site...

[marky]

no one say how its done. i also face same problem.

Kindly check your content plus backlinks. And double your effort in this case.
