Can anyone tell me what a page rank (NaN) means. I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Thanks

This is all kind of new to me. My blog has a PR of 3 and is fairly low traffic. What is the PR based on or do we know? Harold's last blog post..Finally, youtube video on your ipod in one easy step!

Hey Wendy! Don’t worry! As long as your traffic doesn’t change you’ll be fine. Your blogs are awesome! My blog is a steady 4, but my website jumped fro a 2 to a 4. Maybe because I released my office organizing ebook on the 29th? (I’m still hoping you’ll get a chance to take a look at it : )

The weird thing that happened to me is my feedburner stats suddenly dropped by 500. Oh well. Traffic is fairly steady though.

Thanks for all the great email managment links! Very similar to what I do but as always, you’ve got a few clever ideas I never though of! Thanks!

The best thing about social media is the fact that it is great for sharing quality content and yes, if you publish quality information, you will definitely get noticed and receive your share of link love.

My blog, The Home Business Archive, became a PR4 blog.I have concentrated on building my links with Web2.0 techniques and social bookmarking.It seems to work.

I completely agree Wendy: PR is definitely not nearly as important as it used to be, yet, for whatever reason, a lot of webmasters treat it as though it’s the single most important factor when it comes to determining the quality of a certain website.

Alan, you are absolutely right about that. If you check http://www.emomsathome.com/blog/ in that page rank predictor tool, you’ll see that I am supposed to be going up to a six, from a supposed current PR of 5.

I was at PR5 before my page rank drop down to 3 back in October for using TLA. Somehow iWebTool still sees me at my old page rank. And seeing them predict that I should be at a 6 just rubs the loss in that much more.

On the good side, traffic from Google has more than doubled in that time frame. I guess I’d have to say that I’ll take the traffic over the rank, any day!

I’ve noticed someone mentioning PR prediction tools and would just like to add that you should take the information they offer with a grain of salt as they do have the habit of not exactly being accurate.

My site is too new to get any PR yet. It’s only been up a week now, but I have been indexed by google (YAAAAA!!!) and i’m getting hits. Hopefully in the next update I’ll get some PR luv.

Well I checked my site on the first one and it says I have a PR of 2 but with the second site it says that I don’t have enough backlinks to predict future PR.

I suspect you see a flood of posts about Page Rank today and I have seen some go from 4 to 0 , so I guess I should be happy I still have page rank

Last time I checked my blog had a PR of 5. The predictor said I had insufficient backlinks to predict future rank.

Couldn’t quite understand the PageRank checker but mostly it said 5 with a several Datacenter down notices and a couple of NaN notices. So I guess this means my blog http://www.entrepreMusings.com site is still a 5!

My corporate site http://www.babblesoft.com is a PR 4.

I wouldn’t have checked or noticed if not for your post. Good to know.

Wendy, I noticed a big jump from PR1 to PR5. I hope it’s because I’m doing something right, but common sense tells me that this kind of leap doesn’t make much sense. My site has only been online for less than a year. Maybe Google is just testing something?

Small update: I’ve read that PR may go up and down and up and down before it settles over the next few days. Spent an hour or so researching. There is a PR predictor at Dig that many people were using.

Not too sure if it’s accurate, it’s giving us a prediction of 5 once this is over.

Good, it wasn’t just me then. LOL I was looking at some searches to see if my friend could get ranked for the keywords, and the pageranks were missing….

The funny thing was, the pageranks of Australian pages were fine.

I hope you get it sorted, I know this is no consolation to you but I didn’t know about the tools and I am very excited as I have a PR of 4. Very good as I am having a bit of a downer and can’t get focussed. Des says he has had a page rank of 5 forever and can’t seem to get it to rise?

Wendy this is quite stressful, I’m sure. I hope you sort it out, soon. I haven’t noticed a change for my site.

Kim, I doubt that it has anything to do with meta tags. Sure, implementing them won’t hurt but they are not that much of in important part of the equation in order to make a difference in this case.
