I have a site www.realteensecrets.com and soon after launching the site, I achieved a page rank of 4, then about 4 months later, it dropped to a 3. Recently, I rebuilt the back end to be more SEO friendly. After I re-launched the site, my page rank went down to 1. The most obvious cause would be that links back to the site might be going to now, non existant pages, but all the inlinks went to the homepage, so that would not be an issue. Anyone have any ideas why may page rank would have gone down by so much? thanks |

I had something similar happen. I think that my PR went down because the PR of the sites that linked to mine went down. Google has devalued paid links over the last couple of years. If most of your links are paid, this is probably the problem.
Fortunately, my site did not lose traffic with the PR went down. PR isn't everything. if you are doing other things well, you may still be well ranked in the SERPs. Try to get your PR up again, but if you are still ranking well, don't obsess over it. Google's algorithm is complex and a lot of factors go into ranking. Not all are reflected in the PR of a given page.

Page rank depends on quality and quantity of back links. If you have back links from high PR sites then you can get more and more high PR for your site. So you must be lacking in high PR backlinks.

Well, obviously you need to 301 redirect requests for now-missing pages to live pages. It won't be perfect, but a redirect is going to be better (SEO-wise) than a 404. Of course, this assumes that it's on the same site (domain)... (Yes, this is a year+ old, but as long as someone else has reawakened the topic...) |

You have "lost" backlinks from relevant websites or your backlinks have less PR, this could be the reason however if you have changed your link structure your PR can be affected.  Page rank depends on quality and quantity of back links. If you have back links from high PR sites then you can get more and more high PR for your site. So you must be lacking in high PR backlinks.

I agree with Alston that PR isn't everything. Just work hard and cleverly to get traffic. It is the only thing you want when building the site, isn't it? And the result for that also, your site may be evaluated and get PR back. |

Bad neighborhood is one reason to decrease your PR, try to put your link to high PR and quality site.

As I know that you don't have to focus on your PR when you do SEO for your site. The most important thing is SERP and traffic. Both will bring benefit for you, not the PR. PR is nothing, although you have high page rank, you don't have traffic. So PR or SERP?

Try to get more backlinks from high PR sites,so that you regain your PR.
Go for posting articles, link submissions, press releases,social bookmarking and all for getting backlinks.

I was also getting same issue of page rank drop to my website, www.ydeveloper.com as it is 3 now. Before a two months ago it was 4. I have tried to find out the exact causes of this drop but was not succeeded.  I suppose to have one reason that the quality of backlinks. |

Anyone have any ideas why may page rank would have gone down by so much? thanks According to me you should post fresh and quality content in the form of Articles and Blogs.And get Back Links from high PR websites.And according to my experience you should do Social Bookmarking and create Sitemap for getting the PR. |
