Page Rank gone - technical difficulty?
-
Hi all,
after coming back from the holidays, I noticed that our PR (6 on the homepage) has vanished into "Unranked". All other sites are also "unranked". I tested other domains - PR still there, so the problem does not lie in the PR checker.
There are no drops in traffic, rankings, no messages in the GWMT, the same numer of indexed pages, inbound links okay (all natural)...
As you see, I checked everything I thought could be a hint to a solution, but found nothing... This goes on for the 3rd day now (after my holidays, maybe even longer).
Could there be a technical problem causing this "drop"?
Our website: http://www.access.de/
I am thankful for all hints/suggestions...
Thanx...

Hi Moosa,
I guess you were right. Teh PR cam back friday evening. Seemed to be an update problem....

If you didn’t noticed any change in traffic, ranking or sales then there is no way a big problem I don’t think it’s some kind of penalty or you should consider changing your back link profile…. I guess it’s an update problem…
Check your DA and see if you loss DA from the past and if not then things are not dangerous for you…

Hi Dorothea,
we didn`t buy or sell links. Indeed, there has been no linkbuilding at all, the backlink profile is really natural - this is no joke!!
By "all other sites" I mean other pages on our domain (categoreis with PR of 5 etc..).
In Webmaster Tools there is nothing suspicious: no warning, lo lost indexed pages, the same number of backlinks....
And honestly, I dont think that our PR goes down from 6 to unranked because of a weird domain lining to us. We have really strong (natural) backlinks from german universities etc. that should "protect" us.
But I think you are right, I am waiting some more days to see if anything is changing...

Greetings,
I checked your website with a few tools and the PR is indeed N/A. PR penalties are usually related to selling/buying suspicious links. You should take a look at your backlinking structure and see if there's any weird domain that links to you. By "all other sites" do you refer to websites that link directly to access.de? If these sites lost their PR too, they might be the source of the penalties.
Did you add your website on Google Webmaster Tools? I'd wait a few more days to see if there's any change to your PR or if Google sends you a notification for unnatural links.

Local City Pages
Anyone have any input on the tactics being used for a national company trying to target local city pages. For instance, you might be a national printing company and you are trying to compete against local printers in cities by creating a specific page for that city + print keywords.

WP image pages
I used Dreamweaver for years but have recently been switching to Wordpress. On the whole the results have been very positive. However, I don't like the way that WP generates a page for images when the image is inserted into a blog post. I was just reading this http://www.eyeflow.com/content-strength-audit/ excellent article on Content Strength Audit and it referred to this problem as well. Often, when I insert an image into a blog, I delete the reference to the image page and link directly to the image. Is this an effective way to deal with the is problem? Is there a better approach? Best,

Is page rank lost through a 301 redirect?
Hi everyone. I'd really appreciate your help with this one 🙂 I've just watched Matt Cutt's video 'what percentage of PageRank is lost through a 301 redirect?' and I am confused. I had taken this to mean that a re-direct would always lose you page rank, but watching it again I am not so sure. He says that the amount of page rank lost through a 301 redirect is the same as any other link. Does this mean that no page rank at all is lost during site migrations? Or is it the case that first page rank would be lost from the original link and then more page rank would be lost from any subsequent redirects? watch?v=Filv4pP-1nw

New Domain Page 7 Google but Page 1 Bing & Yahoo
Hi just wondered what other people's experience is with a new domain. Basically have a client with a domain registered end of May this year, so less than 3 months old! The site ranks for his keyword choice (not very competitive), which is in the domain name. For me I'm not at all surprised with Google's low ranking after such a short period but quite surprsied to see it ranking page 1 on Bing and Yahoo. No seo work has been done yet and there are no inbound links. Anyone else have experience of this? Should I be surprised or is that normal in the other two search engines? Thanks in advance Trevor
