I have to say I’m really disappointed with what’s going on with the Google PR. Initially I was disappointed that I only got a PR of 1. Now, my PR went from 1 back to 0. However, on that “Future PR ” site, I’m still showing a PR of 1 for 14 of the 18 data centers. Needless to say, I’m confused and somewhat angered by what has happened.
My site’s been up for 2 months now, I’ve exchanged links with people (on pages with PR), and I have over 30 pages of content on my site. And yet, here I am, back at PR 0. :madat: Very frustrating. So much for the “new site PR boost” theory.
I’m also confused as to how some new sites can go from 0 immediately up to 4, right off the bat. In the other PR thread, a few people shared their PR numbers, and I was surprised at the good, quick results they achieved.
Now, I know PR isn’t the most important thing in the world, but I do believe that having a PR of 0 will hurt me when I try to exchange links with others. On several sites, I’ve seen disclaimers that go something like, “we don’t trade links with sites who have a PR less than 4.” I think to myself, “okay, fine, I’ll wait a few months until my PR goes up, and then I’ll contact them.” Well, now it’s looking like I’ll have to wait at least until April for that to happen (I say April because the visible PR is updated on a quarterly basis).
I just wish I knew what I was doing wrong, if anything.
Can you guys provide some feedback to help me out? Is this a normal thing for a new site to experience? What else can I do to increase my PR? :confused: Thanks in advance.
