The dreaded Google Page Rank – it haunts me in my sleep! I went from a 0 to a 3 to a 0. No one really understands how page rank works but I am always desperate to try anything to help my site.
Are your a blogger? Make sure you sign up for Google Webmaster Tools. Now I am by no means an SEO expert (or even beginner) but after hearing back from Google on how to improve my page rank I was all over this site. You sign up, add your site, verify it and then you even get access to all sorts of webmasters tools. I can’t see it hurting you and it has some great links and resources. The site says it will increase traffic to your site, alert you to errors on your site and give you data about your site.
Oh and did I mention, this is all FREE from Google!

Thank you so much! I am always interested in checking out things like this so I appreciate the heads up!
This is good information for blogger community but I don't understand how google giving PR to the site is. Its because PR is always top-down
Hmmm, interesting advice. I had a PR 3 and then I got my own domain name and went down to a PR 0, but it quickly bounced back up to a PR 4 and then back down to PR 3. I don't really check it that often... only if a brand asks about it before working with me. :) Thanks for the tips.
Make sure you go back and remove those text link ads. Advertisers count on you forgetting about them!
THanks! I am usually pretty good about changing links to no0follow, hope that helps!
It is so frustrating. I've kind of given up. I was a PR 4 for the longest time, then all of a sudden dropped to 0. I have checked Google webmaster tools, and am trying to fix a few things before resubmitting to them. It's such a pain...seriously lol. I'm like Liz though - I have stopped accepting text link ads on my sidebar.
I resubmitted now awhile ago and have yet to hear something :( I wish PR/companies would stop caring about Page Rank!
Great info in your blog AND the comments!!! Thanks everyone for the input! I love the sharing of knowledge in the blogger community :)
Ugh! I've heard these horror stories lately. Some people had text links galore so that might be what happened to them. I don't accept text link ads anymore. I used to, but they fell off finally a few months ago and now I just don't accept them. But I'm sorry! I hope you get your page rank back!
Thanks! Yeah I have heard text links are killers but its a double edged sword because the money is tempting.
Mine usually bounces back and forth from 2 to 3 depending on how often I post.
sadly, google and squarespace(my platform host) are not compatible! this drives me crazy!
That sucks! Why not change, I have never heard of Squarespace?
I used blogger from 2006-2010. I went to Squarespace early 2010 and my stats PLUMMETED! Like from 10K a month to ZERO! Literally over night - even though my domain was exactly the same. It was the strangest thing. It took a year to get my stats back - A YEAR! But I still lost so many people. I'm afraid if I switch again - I will have to start all over again. I just don't want to do that. Plus, I don't like WP and don't want to go back to blogger - so kind of stuck!
Yeah that does suck. I transferred from blogger to wordpress and luckily my stats didn't change much. Then I changed my URL/blog name on wordpress. I did have a problem though where Hostgator couldn't re-direct my old site to my new site so they mirrored the content. Since then my google page rank went to 0 and has been since. I think Google dinged me for duplicate content. Funny thing though is I called Hostgator last week and they were able to re-direct my site no problem! So for the past year my google rating sucked because the original guy I got on customer service didn't know how to do it!
I am off to check out the site. My blog went from a 3 to a 2 and I am not happy about it!
