Page Rank ?

Hi Warriors,
Just bin searching for the forums about this but cant find anything.

The Page Rank of a domain:

Once its gone up to lets say, Page Rank 3, Can it go down again, if its not properly looked after ? Or is it fairly safe to stay at that rank ?

Just asking, cause was wondering what happens if you buy an aged domain, with a page rank of fairly high, how long the rank would stay high for ? or whether it would just drop back to 0 if the content is not as good as what the domain was used for before.

Thanks

Tum

  • It should stay pretty stable but it can go down by 1 or so mine went down a notch last update which was a while ago not sure why. Google is a weird creature sometimes.
  • It can go down to zero if all the links to your site vanish.....

    • I think google can give a quick quote with that.

  • When was the last time Page Rank was updated? It seems like it's been over 6 months.
  • thats why I don't mind PR status at the moment since I get dramatical downfalls from PR 3 to PR 0. But I checked and reviewed what I have been doing all and I think I was doing fine. Google sometimes acts like a weirdo search engine.

  • It will go down if it's not looked after. I used to have a PR 5 blog (from the days when PR was easier to get) and now it is PR 1 because I let it slip. Even though it was PR 5, it never converted well.
  • It can go down. One thing you have to be careful about is 'fake PR' it happens more than people would like to believe like when new or aged domains are being sold/traded on PR alone. There are tools out there to check that.

    • so prchecker.info is not accurate in giving pR ranks? this is what I have been using for quite a long time.. what other alternative tools to be used regarding checking pr ranks?
  • I see a glaring problem here. If you bought one of my old domain names, which had a blog on it before, and all the external links were coming to old posts, unless you rebuild my exact site structure those incoming links are gone. They no longer point to active pages.

    Since the links die, so does the PR flowing into your site. If those incoming links are pointing to the home page, then you may have a chance.

    • Is it these aged domain that places like blogging underground uses to create these announcement blogs, that they call them ?

      You could have a basic blog, with loads of catagories, where people who want backlinks, can post into the corresponding catagory, with a snippet of about 1 or 2 paragraphs describeing there blog, with there main keywords in, and a link or 2 to there blog !

      Wouldn't something like this done with quite a few cheap age domains setup a sort of network, to post links to many sites, using the pr rating of the aged domain, before it dropped down ?
  • PR is good for nothing. Who checks it nowadays anyway?

      Google's algorithms, for a start: it's one of the many factors that determine where your site gets listed in the SERP's. (According to Google).

    • I never check it on my own site, but I sure check it for the sites I'm building links from. Give me a choice between a few high PR sites and 20 PR0 sites for backlinks and I'll always take the high PR ones.

      Quality, not quantity, wins many battles.
  • Just launched a new website for the company I work for and had to get our domain pointed to our new site. Fortunately my pagerank stayed the same as it was before the pointing occurred. Now time to work on getting this site ranked up!

  • depends upon the algo change, if the existing backlinks you have become "useless" as per respect of latest update then your PR will surely get down.
  • No such thing. PR refers to a page.

    Generally when people talk about the PR of a domain, they really mean the PR of the homepage.

  • It is definitely possible to lose page rank. Page rank is basically a score for your page. Remember, it is based on each page, not domain. So each webpage in your domain will have its own rank, based on how well optimized it is, and how many good backlinks it has.
