I have some websites and two WordPress Blogs for a long time. All websites have getting a PR2 or PR3. However I have no any idea why the two WordPress Blogs always getting a PR0.
The contents of the two WordPress Blogs are unique and with registered .com domain names. There are about 500 backlinks linking to each blog. Any possible reasons why WordPress Blogs never get a PageRank?
These PR figures are pretty irrelevant. Some years ago, a site’s page rank gave a very approximate indication of its “reputation”, as measured by inward links (and the reputation of the linking sites). That’s much less true today. At best, the PR figure is several months out of date. At worst, it’s meaningless.
I have reached high PR on free blogs from Wordpress, so the fact that your site is a blog does not mean it can´t have a PR. Sometimes patience is required.
Anyway, we don´t have to obsess about the Page Rank of a website, since it is a factor that Google almost never values anymore. Although as you say, you have 500 backlinks to each blog…it they are bad quality links (coming from black seo) you might have the answer right there: Google has penalized you removing PR.
Thanks for your information and suggestions. I know that PR has little value to a website or blog. However most advertisers only willing to put ads on web pages with at least PR2.
I didn’t know that. If it’s true, it’s not a very sensible move on the part of the advertisers. What they should be concerned with is the amount of traffic the site gets. And, more importantly, the amount of traffic that’s relevant to whatever they are advertising.
Still, if your aim is to sell space to such people, I suppose you have to do it their way.
Adding to that, I have read postings elsewhere from people saying the same thing about Alexa rank and advertisers. Obviously that is a traffic indicator but not an accurate one but the problem is that many people have no real understanding and assume that when a ranking of some kind is given, it must be significant.
You haven’t mentioned if you have installed the plug-ins regarding SEO or not. Plus, check all the 500 backlinks; manually findout whether the incoming links are from authentic and high PR website or not. Also, the do-follow and no-follow links affects your Page Rank.
Hi,
I agreed with Mike. Getting a rise in Page rank requires SEO efforts in right direction and it depends on the Google’s changing algorithms and current trends. My suggestion is, have patience and promote your blog using SEO techniques and do submissions on high Pr niche sites to get the benefit of link juice. You will surely get desired results.
Pagerank is all about link juice, If you are not having links from higher pagerank sites/pages, you are not gonna have good pagerank. In order to increase pagerank try to get some high pagerank backlinks
You shouldn’t think about the PageRank. There are some good sites out there that reach as low as PR 0. I have a question for you, though. Why do you have two WordPress blogs? If you worked on just one, getting that PageRank would have been faster, if that’s what you really wanted.
