A Little PR Love - Works For Me!

I bought this blog in November as many of you may remember. About 3-4 days after I finished purchasing; it was slapped with a PR 0 or N/A from Page Rank 4. I wrote a post about it and received quite a bit of criticism; predominantly from other active Pay Per Post users who condemned me for stating the fact this blog lost it’s PR was due to the previous owner openly using that and similar services. Can’t say I was surprised with the uproar though… People always try and protect their income streams.
About 24 hours ago I was checking this blog from a hotel room and sure enough I saw some page rank. It’s only a page rank 2 which doesn’t seem accurate but at least it is a step in the right direction! This has given me some incentive to see what else I can do and file a re-inclusion request. Just the main page has a PR; the inner pages still com up with nothing.
The biggest fear many have when getting a PR0 reduction is that the next step is a de-indexing. Regardless of opinion I’m sure most can agree that being de-indexed would be devastating.
I am going to see what a bit of tweaking can do and hopefully this place will get fully restored as this blog has grown on me and I’d like to have it around for a long time to come.
Hopefully next week I will have more time to post. I’ve been away on business this week; actually I’m writing this post in an airport as we speak. Next time you’re at an airport with your laptop before you pay for internet access… Look around and you may just find an unsecured wireless network that’s free. Trust me it happens

Congratulations on the Pagerank man! I think you know how I feel about PR but hopefully it helps you out even more!

Indeed I do and hopefully it shall. I believe PR basically shows how ethical a website owner you are today. You maintain PR from only doing natural link building and not being paid to help others use you and the rest of the net to pursue their own gains at the expense of others.
Actually maybe u have met with a fake PR. The former owner removed the inbound link after ur purchasing or … Actually I have found a pr=2 at the moment, so good luck!
Congratulations on the increase! I ended up with a decrease for some reason, from PR4 to PR3.
I’m still ranking just as well for the terms I usually check, so I’m not concerned, but it’s curious.
Oddly I still ranked well for the few terms that this blog ranks for when I had none as well. I’m assuming it can only go up…
My experience has been that PR is a small part of search engine rankings. I think of it as a tie-breaker, but not one of the prime factors.
