#socialbloggers 13 – Understanding Google PageRank
What is Google PageRank?
What’s the difference between being unranked and PR0?
Why do you want a higher PageRank?
Q1 : What’s your understanding of Page Rank, is it important?
@NoorsLense my understanding is it’s the value google gives you in order to prioritise search results #socialbloggers

@NoorsLense Basically how google ranks your blog among the sea of other blogs based on important and prominence. #socialbloggers

@theclumsybeauty @NoorsLense @bloggerforums for me, sometimes it’s just better to not worry about all that & enjoy blogging #socialbloggers

@hellodyuti @theclumsybeauty @NoorsLense that’s how it started for me but then I got nosey and geeky =) #socialbloggers
— Corinne (@bloggerforums) April 26, 2014
@hellodyuti @NoorsLense @bloggerforums A good mind set! #socialbloggers
— The Clumsy Beauty (@theclumsybeauty) April 26, 2014
@theclumsybeauty nope. It’s something that goes on higher level of blogging (pro stuff) , so it’s not anything bad #socialbloggers

@bloggerforums @hellodyuti @theclumsybeauty @NoorsLense yes! I hate the technology aspect of blogging!!

@hellodyuti @theclumsybeauty @NoorsLense you can, you don’t have to know about page rank to get a rank! it happens naturally #socialbloggers
— Corinne (@bloggerforums) April 26, 2014
@bloggerforums @NoorsLense Its where all the SEO stuff takes you pretty much #socialbloggers

I understand that page ranking is important but I would have no idea how to do it! #socialbloggers
— Megblog (@NotRealiMeg) April 26, 2014
It’s been said that WordPress gives blog a better page rank than Blogger’s blog. Does it really? #socialbloggers
— Noor Unnahar (@NoorsLense) April 26, 2014
For all those asking how to find their page rank MozBar do a great Google Chrome extension! #socialbloggers
— Charley (@charleylucy) April 26, 2014
I’ve never really understood the concept of pager and and why it’s important. Don’t really care tbh does that make me bad? #socialbloggers
— Kal (@ClutteredC) April 26, 2014
Q2 : What’s the best way to improve your blogs Page Rank?
@NoorsLense Posting regular content, traffic and having links to your site from sites with a higher page rank than yours #socialbloggers
— Corinne (@bloggerforums) April 26, 2014
@bloggerforums @NoorsLense Collabs and challenges such as blogging every day for a month are a great way of doing this! #socialbloggers
— Charley (@charleylucy) April 26, 2014
@NoorsLense @bloggerforums I would have to agree with Corinne. Regular content! But this is very hard 4 me cause I work full time!
— stephanie (@MechanicsWife72) April 26, 2014
@NoorsLense @bloggerforums To me, the best way to improve PR is by writing quality content and using SEO wisely #socialbloggers
— Somdyuti Datta Ray (@hellodyuti) April 26, 2014
Q3 : What Page Rank would you deem as ‘successful’?
@NoorsLense the highest blog I’ve seen is a 6! #socialbloggers
— Corinne (@bloggerforums) April 26, 2014
@NoorsLense I would be happy with a 3 =) #socialbloggers
— Corinne (@bloggerforums) April 26, 2014
@iliketweet @bloggerforums I lost mine at 2. After the domain , so it’s like going back to track #socialbloggers
— Noor Unnahar (@NoorsLense) April 26, 2014
@bloggerforums @NoorsLense I know we aren’t supposed to focus on the “numbers” but I’d b happy w more than 1 follower! Just say n
— stephanie (@MechanicsWife72) April 26, 2014
@bloggerforums @NoorsLense but on the flip side I know it’s half my fault because I’m not a regular blogger
— stephanie (@MechanicsWife72) April 26, 2014
@NoorsLense @bloggerforums as of now I have 2 and I’m pretty happy with it. But obviously, the higher the better. #socialbloggers

I’m having a page rank nightmare. My PR dropped from a 2 to a 0 at the last update. I checked my Google Webmaster Tools and there’s no manual action or message. I have no idea why it was dropped or how to fix it. I’ve started by going through changing all appropriate links to nofollow and fixing all my broken links as that’s all I can think it could be. However, when you have a manual action note from Google you have the opportunity to resubmit but without a manual action there’s no option to resubmit. I’m not best pleased.
Corinne
Oh no, that sounds like a nightmare! I’ve heard about this happening to bloggers, it must be very frustrating. Hopefully you can get a better PR in the next update!

Panty Buns
I used to think about page rankings when I blogged but I eventually decided that the most important thing was writing something meaningful that people would want to read and including relevant photos, and many times embedded relevant videos. When I changed things, especially if I changed titles of things, my rankings usually dropped for a while. I try Googling myself and my main blogging and Vlogging topic (full brief panties) my blog (http://www.full-brief-panties.blogspot.com/) comes up on the second page. When I just Googled my Name (Panty Buns) my YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/misterpantybuns is the top listing on the first page. I’m obviously happy with the name being number one, but I’d love to have my blog name be number one too. I will definitely read your SEO tips. I’ve read being too aggressive with some methods of SEO can hurt. Do you know if that’s true? Interesting subject anyway.
Corinne
Yes, it can hurt! If you are being aggressive to the point when you are trying to manipulate Google, then the will strip your rank. Google is the best search engine out there and prides itself on getting the most relevant, quality information to it’s users. Unfortunately some people try to manipulate the system in order to rank high even if they don’t deserve it.
Noor
It was pretty helpful , also I didn’t know many people never cared about it. I am relieved!!
