The Pagerank Technology introduced by Google is now becoming a matter of self prestige in the blogging world. Bloggers and webmasters try their best to attain a higher pagerank as this will increase their search engine ranking position and will make their blog/site more popular through Google’s eye but there are some points that are overlooked.

Reasons For Loosing Pagerank:

If you are one of those unlucky people who just lost some degree of pagerank for their blog/site or one of their blog pages then you need to throw a bright look at some of the points which are very important in order to maintain your pagerank. Here are the causes of loosing pagerank:

• Increasing outbound/outgoing external links on your blog.
• Large increase of low pagerank pages within your blog.
• Previous link partners are no longer linking to you
• Link partners have undergone a decrease in their pagerank
• The number of outgoing links on a link partners blog has increased

The best solution or prevention to this is to keep on exchanging links with good pagerank blogs and also submit your blog to free web directories with some healthy pagerank. Though I personally do not prefer to buy/sell pagerank so when something is free it is great.

Random Misconceptions about Pagerank

The biggest misconception about pagerank is:

• It will make your blog rank higher in search engines or in others words pagerank causes good search engine ranking position.

This is absolutely wrong. Search engine ranking position totally depends on search engine optimized however if we compare two blogs which target the same keywords and are both properly search engine optimized and one of them has a pagerank 5 and the other has a pagerank 4 then definitely the blog with higher pagerank will get a higher position in search engines for a particular keyword.

The other misconception is:

• Getting a backlink for a blog with higher pagerank is better than a lower one

Wrong! In this case you need to emphasize on the outbound links of the blog from which you are getting a backlink. If a blog has a pagerank 8 but 100+ outbound links then it is definitely better for you to get a backlink from a blog of pagerank 6 but only 10+ outbound links.
