Google Page Rank question - 10/7/2006 19:05:57
This morning I was all excited because a new site I have, had a page rank of 4 with the interior pages having 4's 3's and 2's.
Now, hours later I am back to no rank at all again.
What's up with that??
Maybe it happens all of the time when you have a new site and I just never noticed it before?

How old is the site?
What color is the bar?
Take care,
Brian

It is about 2 months old and the bar was green. (I think)
A coming soon page was up for several months but the actual site went live the end of August.

Being that new and green I think this is the inital report of PR. Normally, myself, when I have a site this new and it shows page rank I do not trust it as it usually flucuates, if not goes to no color/PR 0.
Give it a few more then recheck, seems normal to me.
I remember vaguely that PR was last updated in January and again in mid summer. I don't remember seeing anything since.
Take care,
Brian

Strange things can happen. On one blog site of mine with only 2 articles it went from a pr-0 to a pr-5 in acouple weeks. It stayed that way for a month or two then came back down to a pr3.

RE: Google Page Rank Question - 10/25/2007 0:11:30
I am in a similar situation that this lady was in last year and was wondering if anyone can offer their opinion as to what might have happened...
I registered a personal website just for fun in 2001, www.cottonrohrscheib.com. For the first 5 or so years I just posted about 5 or 6 pages there for fun w/ photos, etc., just something for friends and family to have fun with. The website then was just static pages, nothing dynamic at all, my Google Pagerank for as long as I can remember was 5. It would occasionally teeter between 4 and 5.
Along about 2006 my web development business started to picking up so I just made things a little easier on myself and revamped the website with pages that had RSS Feeds embedded in them from my corporate blog, picasa photo blog, microsoft spaces, and other external sources that I sometimes posted content so that I wouldn't have to keep track of my personal website along with all of the other communities I was a part of. Somewhere along the way my PR in Google dropped completely to 0. ??
I have since redesigned my personal site using the Wordpress Platform, it is now located at: www.cottonrohrscheib.com/blog (I used an Apache Redirect). The site has been up there now for about 3 months and I have been noticing my position in the search engines come up dramatically on my keywords since re-launching my site BUT my PR is still at 0. I know that PR isn't that big of a worry as long as I am coming up good on searches but this really has me shaking my head... I have called on my SEO Guru to work her magic and help get the site submitted to a couple of directories, etc., and I am confident she will do a great job at this but I was wondering if anyone else out there might have some suggestions for me, or maybe an explanation as to what might have happened to my PR?
All comments are appreciated,
Thanks

I actually have a question in regards to what Cotton posted. He said he:
I registered a personal website just
I have been researching this and was wondering how is this done? I have read pages that you can pay money and they will do the submission to search engines, but I have also heard that the search engines will just take time and will find you out there on its own?
What does it mean to register a site? I know how to get the domain name and server space, but is there somethign special that needs done to get a site to the search engines, pay or not? Which is better and which WORKS?
Please let me know. Thanks for all the help, I love reading through the forums and getting new information everyday.

Machristy -
When I said Registered, I meant that I purchased a domain name. There isn't a "registration" process that I know of for the search engines, there are however some submission forms you can use to have your site spidered, here is Googles: www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl aside from that you can also build an XML sitemap for your site and submit it to them inside Google's Webmaster Central. Also, Inside of the Webmaster Central section of Google you can "verify" your website by either adding a special meta-tag supplied by Google or uploading a special .html file and having them (Google) crawl your site to verify it. Hope all of this info is useful.
The question I was putting out there to the community deals with Google Page Rank, which is another animal altogether.

More information about Google PR : "The net is abuzz with speculation that Google is cracking down on link farms designed to artificially puff up the placement of websites after bloggers disclosed recent PageRank drops for more than a dozen sites."

I just wanted to update this thread to show how quickly your Google PR can change. When I updated this old thread that I found related to Google PR I had a PR of 0-, and that was last week. I get into the office this morning and I find that over the weekend my PR was bumped to 4. It's still not where it used to be at which was about a 5 / 6 as best I can remember but it's definitely better than -0.
I guess all of this to say, if your PR is not good or where you want it, be patient, a lot can change pretty quick.
