Recently Google did a major PageRank update where a lot of sites were downgraded. Many experts believe this PageRank update was Google’s response to link selling – sites which sell links lost points in their PageRank.
Google measures all web pages on a scale of importance from 0 to 10, which is shown in a small green pixel bar on browsers carrying the Google Toolbar. PageRank is “supposedly” measured by the number of backlinks to your site,oakley gafas.

http://gafascarreraoutlet.webs.com/, a link is a vote for your site,Ralph Lauren España. The more votes you have the higher your site is ranked. At least that’s how it was supposed to work until a lot of high PR sites started selling links and put a monkey wrench into the whole system.
The latest update may be a smart move on Google’s part to curtail this practice; who’s going to buy a link from a PR2 or even a PR4 site,polo ralph lauren baratos? Besides this could be more than a warning that your site will go down even further if you continue to sell links,Lentes ray ban.
Now this is more of a cosmetic change in PageRank than a real change in your true rankings in Google,chanel España. Just because your PR goes down doesn’t mean your keyword rankings or traffic from Google also goes down,bolsos chanel.
I saw some of my sites go up, some stayed the same,gafas carrera, but my major site took a big hit – falling from PR6 to PR4,gafas sol ray ban. This was more of a devastating blow than I expected mainly for psychological reasons than actual consequences. After years of building the best content you can muster and constantly getting quality one-way links, to see that PageRank drop was very disappointing and hits to the core of your online work.
Google sometimes just slap you at the face without any apparent reason. but lets keep it up.
I have been around for a while so I have experienced many Google Updates – anyone remember the Florida Update? I also keep my ears peeled to discussions of the latest updates in Webmasterworld and Stompernet,gafas carrera champion, and I even read Matt Cutts when I get real nervous,Gafas ray ban… so I knew not to panic just because of the sudden drop in PageRank,oakley españa.
I also knew what most of the SEO experts were saying was true because my major keywords stayed the same and my Google traffic actually went up. But that’s little comfort when you’re talking about Google; you immediately go into overdrive and try to figure out where you went wrong. What caused the drop – because whether PageRank is meaningless or not, you’re still going in the wrong direction,gafas carrera españa.
I saw many of my competitors drop too,Ralph Lauren España, but many stayed the same and even a few increased in PageRank,Polo Ralph Lauren. What are they doing right; what am I doing wrong? I don’t sell links but does Google think I am selling links was my main concern,ray ban baratas? I even moved one external link from my main page to another part of my site,Ralph Lauren Mujer, just in case Google is mistaking that as a paid link,bolsos chanel.
Welcome to webmaster’s paranoid hell! Well, i believe that every webmaster has becamed paranoid about google one day.
For SEO reasons I have very few external links on my main page,gafas sol ray ban. Can’t see why Google downgraded my main site. I have been at PR6 for years,See How Google Is Slapping People About Pagerank,gafas ray ban mujer.
Herein lies my main beef,gafas oakley, with Google you never really know where you stand; you are constantly walking on eggshells. No matter how good your content or your site is – one misstep and you could be in the doghouse,oakley gafas. All your hard work can be taken away in a heartbeat.
It wouldn’t matter so much if it was one of the other two major search engines downgrading your site but this is Google,gafas sol carrera.
Free organic traffic from Google is vital to any online site or business,ray ban españa. I would take traffic from Google over any other source of traffic on the web,Lentes ray ban, except for traffic coming from my articles on other sites,chanel baratas, and even that traffic probably originated from a search in Google,oakley españa.
Google and Google PageRank have always been important to me – that’s one of the reasons a sudden large drop causes so much concern,ray ban 3025. There’s another important reason Google PageRank is important to me,oakley precios.
Most SEO experts mistakenly believe PageRank is meaningless because Google is not giving us the true ranking of any site or revealing all the backlinks, which is supposedly one of the major factors in how Google ranks sites,Gafas ray ban. While this fact is obviously true,bolsos chanel 2.55, it has caused many to jump to another conclusion,Polo Ralph Lauren.
Because Google is not giving us the real ranking, many webmasters have dismissed PageRank as a vital element in their sites. Don’t make the same mistake.
Google PageRank is extremely important if you’re doing business on the web,carrera gafas 2013. The higher PR you have, the better,ray ban 2132. But it has nothing to do with keyword rankings or first page SERPs,See How Google Is Slapping People About Pagerank,chanel España.
What many SEO experts fail to realize (not really their business) is the whole “perceived” value of PageRank.
Google, hate it or love it, has become the most respected company on the web in the eyes of the majority of the web’s users. It carries enormous weight and prestige,carrera. The “perceived” value of a high PR7 or PR8 is extremely valuable,gafas sol carrera.
We are not talking about link selling; we are talking about how a perspective business partner or customer will treat your site or business.
Say you have two identical sites you want to do business with online and you discover one is a Google PR2 site and the other is a Google PR8 site – which one would you choose to do business with? Honestly?
From first-hand experience,gafas carrera, I know any online company or marketer will get more business offers and be offered more partnerships/joint ventures if you have a high Google PR site than a low one,Related articles:

PageRank is important,gafas carrera españa. PageRank has meaning. Even if it has little bearing on your SERPs rankings or Google traffic,gafas carrera 6000, PageRank can greatly influence the success of your online site or venture. Don’t ignore or dismiss PageRank as a meaningless relic that didn’t quite work out as Google had planned for it in the first place,ray ban españa.
High PageRank will always be valuable.
The day Google gives its own site a PageRank of PR1 or PR2 instead of the current PR10 – that’s the day you can dismiss PageRank as truly meaningless.
