Google PageRank is Whacked

Posted by: dragonblogger  //  Category: blogging

Man, I just don’t understand Google PageRank, it makes no sense.

My Rock Along Productions blog turns out has a PR of 4:
http://www.rockalongproductions.com has Google PageRank 4 out of 10

Yet my This Blog, my Poetry Blog Wanderer Thoughts and my personal blog Justin Germino have PR of 0.

What doesn’t make sense is Dragon Blogger has over 300 unique visits per day, over 8500+ external links on Google WebMasterTools, yet Rock Along Productions has barely 200 external links, less than 50 unique visits per day.

This only confirms that Google Penalizes you for doing paid posts (Rock Along Productions is a company blog and I don’t do paid advertising on it).  But I don’t do paid advertising on the poetry blog either, so not sure why that is so low (maybe too new of a blog).

Also linking to other blogs hurts your blog PR, as the “SEO Juice” from a previous post, you leak your PR to other blogs reducing your own by creating too many links out.  Again, I am trying to figure out how to get around the vicious double edged sword.

Does anyone actually qualify for the like $60.00 or $100.00 paid opps on PayPerPost and do the post and still retain a PR of 5 or higher for most of these post requirements?

Just some stuff I am thinking about.

    They do strip away PR, I played this game long enough but they don’t blacklist you (good thing because 50% traffic comes from Google). i think they pull numbers out of the air. As far as the high prd blogs on PPP I don’t know but I am sure they don’t have pr for the next update

    Your guess is as good as mine. How I can get blogs with roughly the same backlink structure at widely different PR I don’t know. But I suppose if Google doesn’t keep us guessing it would just all be too simple, now wouldn’t it ;)
