Yeah, I agree with others, Pagerank is so overrated. Haha! I guess, that is every person’s pampalubag-loob after getting a Pagerank drop. 
After more than a year of enjoying a Pagerank 4, Google suddenly thinks that this blog doesn’t deserve it. Now, this blog is PR 3. So what? As long as my posts still rank on the SERPs, I don’t care about my PageRank! Anyway, this blog is still #1 on the keyword macuha. 
I think, the lost PR went to my wife’s blog, which is now a PR 1 in less than a month of operation. That was fast! You know?
But honestly, I still prefer a higher PR. It’s a nice decoration, you know?

Mukhang every 3 months sila nag-a-update ah. Buti na lang pala walang bumaba na page rank sa mga site ko. from 3 to 4 and from 0-2, the rest walang pinagbago.
Bawi nlng sa July 1. =)

April 2nd, 2009 at 10:59 pm
I was wondering kung kelan ako magkaka-PR. Hehe. From 0 to 2. Saktong encouragement to para ituloy pa ang pagbblog.
April 3rd, 2009 at 2:13 am
now you know.lol!
April 3rd, 2009 at 9:59 am
Hindi mashado big deal ang isang increase/decrease ng pagerank… nabasa ko lang yun.. hehe you know… natawa ko dun…
April 3rd, 2009 at 10:36 am
Yes you are right. Page rank does not do much on the traffic or keyword ranking. It looks like a decoration. Pero I think it has something to do with the amount of pages your blog or site has. Siguro yung global translator ang dahilan kasi maraming pages ang na cre-create kaya na dilute yung pagerank mo. May nabasa rin ako na pati adsense earnings apektado sa pagerank pero baka haka-haka lang yun. Anyway as you said, page rank lang yan. Mas importante keyword ranking at traffic.

He he katawa naman yung commercial ni pacquiao. Now I know, you know. LOL.

Page rank is a description of the authority of your website and its power, however it is not necessity that you become a high ranker in keywords, but it gives you a better advantage to rank better if you do link building right
April 4th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
Wow, thanks for the update.
April 5th, 2009 at 12:14 am
Our blog actually increased its PR from 0 to 2! Finally we got a PR Rank! too bad too hear that yours dropped!:(
April 5th, 2009 at 10:40 am
Now here’s something good on my part… I joined an seo contest last jan. I created a new blogspot blog for it and optimized it a bit. I only had 6 posts on it then i quit sa contest. Tinamad ako eh. Now pagdating ng PR Update, yung PR 0 ko na blog naging…. PR 4! hahaha! Ganda noh?! Parang nanalo din ako sa contest! Thanks google and gratz sa lahat ng ngka.pr increase.
April 5th, 2009 at 10:45 am
@lito
Affected ba talaga ang adsense earnings sa PR? hmmm… parang di ako maniniwala but you know what, yung kralix.com na nag.e.earn nga 30-40 dollars daily (PR 0) ay biglang tumaas ng 50-60 dollars na ng naging PR 3 from the latest update. well i think the explanation there is because the keywors that I was optimizing increased in the SERPs kaya\’t dumami ang visitors at tumaas ang kita. kaya yun siguro…
April 5th, 2009 at 11:24 am
halos lahat ng blogs ko nagdrop ang pr. ung ibang PR3 kong blog naging PR0 nah. huhu
April 6th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
[...] the update, our PR was 2. We don’t know what caused this downgrade but we’re not alone. Macuha.com shared that his site dropped PR from 4 to 3 while Selaplana.com, like us, dropped PR from 2 to [...]
April 6th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
Ako, from PR 2 to PR 0! Yehey! Seriously, ok lang ako na nawalan ng PR basta walang impact sa online income.
April 12th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
I don’t know what happened but my recently upgraded PR1 to PR2 suddenly went to PR0! Waahhh… I was once one of the early commenters of this post when I posted a happy feeling of a PR2 upgrade!
April 14th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Malupit ang Google. My PR3 blog is now PR2, tapos yung isang zero naging N/A na. It hurts, you know?
Haha. xD
April 14th, 2009 at 11:49 pm

Great post! Indeed, you should be number on your keywords because that’s very important

I am not a fan of the PageRank score displayed in the Google Toolbar, but I report it anyway, because I report what SEOs care about.
