I was starting to think that something was wrong for the lack of posting…or you were actually working on a project.

Thanks shoe for the catch up and great links! The page rank thing is weird tho, lol.. I never pay attention to it if I do I end up waisting to much time!

You’ve lost a PR rank? Me too, yet traffic is up for me as well.

Bloody Google and their funny ways.

Thanks for the shout-out, Shoe. Stay cool, bubba… don’t sweat the pagerank.

Oh great, new interviews! And thanks for the Keyword Research-Link!

The page rank updates doesn’t always have a reason behind them at times eh? Sorry to hear about the drop but you have had great content on here so readers cannot argue with that!

Shoe,

I love these posts, you never forget about someone. No matter how long it takes.

Mister Jester

One of your favorite interviews? That’s awesome Shoe! Glad you enjoyed it, and once again thank you for contributing to making the Happiness Project a huge success. =)

The keyword research post of Brian Clark has some great points! For sure, many bloggers not using those tacticts yet.

Maybe SEO isn’t bullshit as the theme of the week suggest… Maybe, you should change your meta tags and title tags…

Just curious, Are any of your ads prices linked to your PR score (like the facebook and others)?

Ian Fernando has went through a web design as well!! I also did a Jeremy and posted pictures of t shirts that I have received on affiliate summit on Friday!

I didn’t understand the Sugar Rae comment but I did like the Kukal interview. Will you update us on why your PR dropped.

Thanks for fixing my name!

Hey, dont you guys know that PR doesn’t matter… cmon, how can you even talk about it anymore.

no no that doesn’t cover it .. you forgot to mention me that i started blogging .. yeah the PR is a bit weird.

Google’s been acting pretty fishy lately. They’ve totally deindexed one of my sites, despite following the webmaster guidelines. The whole PR deal is over-rated anyway…

Thanks for this information I love reading new different stuff. This is a grade-a resource.

Love the footer.Yeap,besides PR, BL also been updated.

How can you go down in PR? Have you spoken to any of your friends at Google about this?

I am happy as a new site of mine went from PR0 to PR4 overnight, weird stuff this SEO!

Crazy on the pagerank. It doesn’t make sense what Google does at times.

Thanks for the update and links, very useful! Wish I had the opportunity to tell you ahead of time that Silva was gonna win!

Plus it reminds me to look for articles here on pageranking I don’t know about that heavenly redesign; it’s a little heavy on the bling for me.

I think Google’s algorithm changes as it benefits sites they have strong connects with kind of like changing the rules of the game as you play. But hey they have the power and we are using their product so can’t complain too much. Other then adsense should have its name changed to Adcents after I went in the past year from .35 cents average click to .08 cents average click.

It’s strange that you’d drop in PR. It would be interesting to know what the formula is that Google uses to determine Page Rank. I have heard different theories on how page rank is determined. Some think it has a lot to do with links in. Some think it a combination of many factors. Is the secret only known by a few people? You would think if several in the company know, it would have been sold to the highest bidder by now. Even if I knew the formula, I probably wouldn’t understand it.

Jeremy,

The algo doesn’t count your links that come from your social media sites (the one’s that link out to your other social media sites, this gives them reference) now, so all that recycled PR is gone. I call it “incestuous PR”. Also any site that has your name on the whois info no longer transfers PR. An earlier post you had about the “new Google is Great project” rel=me and all that jazz helps them further with this process. You’re working for the big G, that’s what they want.
Even if you get 20+ links per day it will be quite a while before your PR moves back up unless you work on that specifically.

Even I lost a page rank from 5 to 4 even when I have a lot of backlinks. Yahoo shows 60k backlinks and google shows 700…..lol

I noticed that change within a few hours. It was 6 and suddenly 5….but at that time I thought I must have had seen it wrong before and it would be 5 only since before….ah…now i get it.

The interview questions are really great.

Yeah I noticed a very large flux with google the last few weeks, though everything came back stronger ranking and traffic wise.

PR not so much of an interest for me, just an ego trip which is good to take sometimes

The keyword research post was great. I would have never found that. Thanks.

I Agree That, just show the money then play the game

Going from PR6 to PR5 isn’t fishy, check out how many links you have leaving the front page now as compared to then. Every one of them is demanding a small slice of your index page pr. If you reduced the number of links leaving your index page… you’d bounce back to six next update imo.

Sometimes it only appears that one is losing PR because Google does NOT use decimals

so a 5.5 would be seen as a PR6 as well as a 6.4

sometimes sites fall at the border and will appear to fluxuate a whole point - while in reality they only fluxuated a tenth of a point - but happened to be at the middle area

I think PR does matter. Why else would there be such a thing if it didn’t.

I’ve just started reading the keyword article by Brian Clark and it makes you think about the difference between keyword research and market research.

ola from Portugal and Slovenia

I am new here , I am also newbie. I am reader of JohnChow blog. I am currious to see, what is difference between your (SheoMoney) and john’s blog. Well, I got in this minutes only first impression and this is, that this blog is much more ‘american’ as John’s blog. It so not good or bad, this is just my first thing, I noticed.

I said from Portugal and Slovenia, as I live in Portugal, right now I am in Slovenia, but I will go back to Portugal.

cheers

nice list of reading there shoe thanks for the heads up

I’d agree with Popular Wealth. You have a ALOT of links leaving the homepage and that certainly can hurt your PR but then again your blog is successful and you have a loyal following so losing some PR isn’t that bad

patrick gavin cool! nice blog he has

[...] a 2 point drop isn’t that surprising. In comparison, Jeremy mentioned recently that Shoemoney.com just dropped from 6 to 5. At least I’m in good [...]

This catching up thing, I like it!
