If yes what was the result ?</p>venukbSun, 04 May 2008 15:50:53 -0000http://www.venukb.com/2008/05/02/pagerank-updated-and-the-site-is-downgraded/#comment-21500309<p>My PR increased from 2 to 3 . Earlier my PR was 0 as the site pas penalized for selling TLA . However i haven't noticed any change with regard to traffic as compared to PR 5 or PR 0 . However PR does seem to effect the SERP .</p>Madhur KapoorSat, 03 May 2008 12:20:23 -0000http://www.venukb.com/2008/05/02/pagerank-updated-and-the-site-is-downgraded/#comment-21500308<p>Better luck next time :)<br>I got 0 this time :D</p>SIddharthSat, 03 May 2008 00:33:33 -0000http://www.venukb.com/2008/05/02/pagerank-updated-and-the-site-is-downgraded/#comment-21500307<p>My PR has been circling 4-0-3-0-2. . . .each time just before the update, it goes into 0 then back to a nominal rank. . . .luckily for me, the search traffic has only been growing. If you do not plan to monetize....PR is just another number :)</p>TheAnandFri, 02 May 2008 11:54:02 -0000http://www.venukb.com/2008/05/02/pagerank-updated-and-the-site-is-downgraded/#comment-21500306<p>Right shankar, it was really dumb of me not to remove it then.</p><p>Guess I am one of those types who continues making a mistake until punished :)</p><p>Also going by the quality of content and publishing frequency on KTT, I don't expect it to go down :)</p>venukbFri, 02 May 2008 05:13:10 -0000http://www.venukb.com/2008/05/02/pagerank-updated-and-the-site-is-downgraded/#comment-21500305<p>I think you should've dropped post level link ads way earlier. Atleast you did it now :)</p><p>I always notice a slight increase in traffic before the toolbar PR update. It happened with my previous blog, and also with Killer Tech Tips.</p><p>And then traffic shoots up in the weeks ahead, I'm expecting the same this time too. I only hope PR 6 stays :D</p>Shankar GaneshFri, 02 May 2008 05:01:09 -0000
