How’s Your PageRank? Mine’s Still an 8

Posted on by

There’s a bit of a dust up over on Techmeme about Google reducing the PageRank of some popular sites (like Engadget and TUWA). I don’t even pretend to understand the black voodo magic that is search engine optimization, but I do know that I show up high on quite a few (often random) Google searches and I think that’s due in large part to my PageRank, which is an 8. (You can check yours here)

Supposedly this new downgrade is due to paid links, something most people in the Adobe community won’t have to worry about. But since this is coming up, I wanted to see what some of you guys’ PageRanks are. I’ve always thought that having MXNA (which is a PageRank of 10) constantly linking to us made a difference. But MXNA actually hides the link behind identifiers so I’m not sure that makes any difference at all. In that case maybe it’s just weblogs.macromedia.com or blogs.adobe.com (both PageRank 10) that make a difference. So those of you blogging about Adobe stuff, what’s your page rank?

    Wow, funny my little blog has the same pagerank as Engadget. Something about that doesn’t seem right.

    I’d have to agree that MXNA/AXNA doesn’t directly enhance one’s page rank, but the fact that it increases others awareness about your blog which leads to links to your posts certainly helps your page rank.

    What is odd is that mine has jumped around from an 8 to a 6 and back several times. Guess it all depends of which server hits your site last and thus which algorithm is uses.

    Bummer, I went from 7, which I thought was a little over the top, to a 4. I do have some text-link adds on my site. Maybe that’s the cause. At anyrate, I’ll take the $$$ over the pagerank any day.

    My PageRank is 7, and it hasn’t changed for quite a while. I remember reaching PR8 at one point, but I had to regain my authority after switching domains and it won’t budge any higher.

    I saw the phenomenon as it was coming. I was looking at the datacenters and saw the PR variances. Mine went down 2 PR points.

    I am not very interested in my PR but people seem to believe is a penalty for selling links. I think people at Google are having lots of fun these days reading all the discussions out there. I know I would.

    mine is still 0 :-) but the domain advanced for a major keyword within the last weeks.

    Everyone is talking about the pagerank update but in fact I can see just drops in pagerank. Seems that the ongoing update will take a long time and that google started with downgrading or removing sites. So if many sites (directories, link sellers and blog posts) have been removed from the google index. And removed sites doesn’t link anymore and thats why many sites could have lost PR. And why have so many sites removed from the index? I believe on behalf of double content.

    Wow! Mine is way down… I am a firm believer that Google is lowering the page rank of any site with ads that are *not* Google Ads, which makes sense, but also sorta makes Google evil. (I’m seeing this across a bunch of sites I manage, some of which have ads, some do not, those without have not changed, those with have all went down.)

    Only a PR4 but happy to have it hold up. Personally I believe all links are paid for one way or another. But I can see now where traditional paid links are going underground.

    Mine managed to jump to 5 within two weeks of my launching the site, and has sat there ever since. I did however notice that it’d been given a big bump in the search results back in September, leading to a doubling of referrals from Google. Wasn’t accompanied by any change in PageRank though.

    Hey Ryan, it figures that a mountain climber would be a PageRank 8! Nice work. Unlike you, my life is the “black voodoo magic” that is SEO. My blog’s about turning the SEO voodoo into basic English for everyone else. Keep climbing mountains AND Google :-)

    My blog jumped from nothing to 7 a short time after I started it. It then downgraded to 6 after a few month without new posts, and stayed there ever since. I believe the big jump straight to a pagerank of 7 was mainly due to the MXNA and fullasagoog.com (it was 9, now it’s 5 :o )

    This article also gave me some ranking IMHO.
    It’s about Flash SEO, my blog had none when I’ve written it.

    Ouch, so many sites and communities have been hit by this. I guess Google is serious…this has been the buzz of the internet today.

    Mine has moved up to PR5 from a PR4. Quite pleased with that really, and have also seen a jump from PR3 to PR4 for many of my internal pages as well.

    I’m new to pagerank, actually what it does? Is that important?

    Page rank has nothing to do with ranking or visitors. Here is an interesting post about Google PR. Take a look at that
