About 3 months ago I decided to it was time to update my website and add some informative blog entries that could help site visitors and existing clients. I cleaned up my layout, added a few new customer support features and removed any extras that i deemed unnecessary…
I had been very busy and did not have much information on the old site but i had a Google Page Rank of 6 and decent Alexa Rank. Cool, right? To my huge disappointment, my page rank went down to ’0′, that’s right …zero.
I am not complaining, since i started my changes my traffic has increased greatly, so it leads me to wonder … how important is Page Rank?
UPDATE:
It’s been a couple of months and my page rank has come back. my site continues to climb although I have seen a plateau. I have not updated the site as much as I should so I am guessing it’s due to that. my next step is to put some focus on Social Media to help with my SEO strategy.
Thinking about Pagerank and SEO optimization for more than 15 minutes always gives me the largest headache imaginable. Part of me wishes that it were all simpler, but I know that would only lead to everyone and their mother gaming the system.
