Google PR Update – Got PR – Lost Rank :(

Yesterday I noticed for the first time after I started this blog the green bar showed up and SEO Kolkata blog gained a toolbar PR of 3 on this Google PR Update. Some of my internal pages got a PR of 2 and the post on Social Media Optimization Rules got a PR of 4 . This Google PR Update ( the firt time after I stated this blog ) is really good for me !

but this is just the happy part of the story..there’s a sad end too.. though I am pretty sure that the two events are not related, coincidentally , both of them happened on the same date. I LOST MY GOOGLE RANKS 🙁

This SEO Kolkata Blog was having a number of first page listings including keywords like seo kolkata, seo consultant kolkata, experienced seo, experienced seo consultant, SMO rules, social media optimization rules, SEO & SMO and so many others. Now, all of a sudden I have lost all my ranks !! I haven’t seen any major change in any of the other websites that I work on so I don’t think there is any Algorithm update or a major Data Refresh, neither did I do anything new with this blog that might have affected- so kind of puzzled and can’t help but think this is just one of those crazy Google engineers doing one of their crazy experiments !

Google still shows all my pages when I try the site: command it also shows around 350 links to this blog when I look into my Webmaster central account.

I think this is just a temporary phase and everything will be normal again and that is all I can pray for. I really dont make any moeny out of this blog, not even Adsense, but still it hurts to see that you were on 1st page last night and today you are nowhere 🙁

    I got to view your blog through a Google Alert about general SEO strategy… just so you know. Out of interest..
    How long have you been posting blogs? Did you have a PR at all before the sudden increase?

    Cheers,

    Bozza,

    Thanks for your comments. No, this is the first time there has been a Google update after I started this blog and though Google steadily showed an increase in the number of links the Toolbar PR came up the first time now.

    Hi I have had my blog on the first page on the search results for six months now ranking 7th in place. I recived around on average 2,000 visitors a day. My page rank is a 3. I recently updated my blog as I have nevr done that before. And then 3 days after posting a new post. It dissapered on me. So I took the new post off because I noticed google re indexed it with some of the new post text in the new google discription. after I took the new post off, i noticed a few hours later it was re indexed under the old discription but still havn’t got my index rank back. It hurts because I had adsense on it ranging around 20-25.00 dollars aday. I hoped this was some waht useful for you. Paul

    @ Paul, I dont think the exclusion or re-indexing really had anything to do with your new post, it might have been just coincidental.

    In my case , I got back all my ranks within 2 days about which I have written in my next post and I really didn’t do anything to get them back.
