/in , /by

On December 6th 2013 Google has pushed out a Google PageRank update when no one was expecting it. The last official update was February 4th 2013 and the next one was due August 2013. After this didn’t take place it seemed that Google had changed its focus and this has taken all webmasters by suprise.

Why isn't my site's PageRank changing?

Why don't you turn off the PageRank feature in the Google Toolbar?

Matt Cutts has actually confirmed on Twitter that this update was a kind of accident by Google:-

Google Page Rank Update 6 DEC 2013

Webmaster should now be checking the whether the Google Page Rank has dropped.

PageRank Drop – Why?

/in , , , /by

The Google toolbar can be used to see the rank that Google gives a website. Google update this information about 3 or 4 times a year.

Matt Cutts explains the reason for this is that people get hung up on page rank and the goal is to make people focus on making websites better in terms of content.

How can you identify the cause of a page rank drop?

If an external link was adding power and has now been dropped then this will cause this. Or if you have changed the internal linking structure of your website then this will also have an effect.

Page ranking dropping by 30% is often due to breaking guidelines and this becomes detected and then this power will be removed. Remove the paid links and then ask Google to check and then the page rank will return.
