PageRank Hit

Published by suzette at 9:39 pm under All,Blogging

After the recent Google’s PR update, many sites were demoted in PageRank. This site included. My rank dropped from 4 to 2. :(

My other sites LazyBone down from 3 to 2, and To Lah or Not To Lah down from 2 to 1.

Initial suspect was on a few things:

  • The Random Blogroll Project initiated by msau early this year
  • The two meme I did that were full with links (Z List and Traffic Club)
  • Link selling (i.e. blog ads)
  • Immediately I removed first 2 items.

    But I can’t stop selling links! Seriously, I did not care about my PR when I first started blogging. PR became more important to me, only after I learnt about making money thgouth blog ads. If I need to stop selling links to improve my PR, I wouldn’t do that. What for??!!

    Anyway, I don’t think selling link is the main reason for the drop. Many big sites, include both that sell and do not sell links were affected. My blogs are small peanuts compared to theirs. Their drops are worse, for example:

  • Statcounter (from 10 to 6)
  • Problogger (from 6 to 4)
  • Search Engine Journal (from 7 to 4)
  • Blog Herald (from 6 to 4)
  • and many more
  • My blogging buddies are affected as well. This will surely affect our advertising income, but what can we do? Seriously, nothing! except to continue improve the content.

    I need to clean up my blog a little. Need to focus more on parenting and breastfeeding now. I have neglected BFG topics for sometime. :P

      jazzmint: It looks like almost everyone got affected. Hehe, but seriously I think this round of PR looks more real in reflecting my sites. :P

      Don’t worry about pagerank. It’s meaningless now. All that matters is how well you rank.
