jengoggtim -> Drop in PR? (10/26/2007 20:43:28)

What might cause a PR drop? I read the other recent post about PR but I'm wondering (actually feeling extremely frustrated) if this applies to me because my site is almost 2 years old. My business site dropped from 4 to 2 & my blog (10 months old) dropped from 3 to 0. Both are linked to each other. The blog is business related but I don't have duplicate content. I don't participate in link farms. I republish once a week for both. One thing I have been doing differently lately is working on generating backlinks. I post on 4 different forums (2 business related), with a total of 2-3 post a day. Is that too much possibly?

Another thing I wonder about is that my shopping cart, subdomain provided by a vendor, is linked to many times. Could this cause a problem?

Has your traffic dropped?

It's difficult to really tell. I've had a slight drop in traffic but this time of year is always slow in my business & I didn't have stats this time last year to compare to. Also, I changed stats recently. I was using Awstats (which I think inflated the number of actual visitors I got - or at least my limited understanding of these stats) & now I'm using Google Analytics which seems to be more accurate. I've only been watching my SER's on 2 pages & they've moved back slightly but a lot of directories like Local Yellow Pages (phone directories) have moved up rather than individual businesses & I just figured that there wasn't too much I can do about that & potential customers would click past those listings.

If traffic is down and your position in the search ranking hasn't dropped - I wouldn't worry about PR. It seems that PR has very little to do with actual rankings so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
