My page rank suddenly went down

[honestman]

I moved my site to a new hosting company with the same address. Suddenly after a month of having my new site up and running with about 25 pages and new keywords my Pagerank has gone down. There was 2 to 3 weeks where I had no anchor text on the site Does anyone have ideas. If I had known this was going to happen

It is highly unlikely that this had anything to do with your hosting move.

Google just rolled out another update recently which likely has something to do with your PR change. It could also have something to do with the fact that you have new keywords in place or a related change in content.

Remember Google Pagerank is only a small indicator and definitely not the be-all and end-all... certainly not a key objective you should strive for.

Was your ranking effected?

I, too, believe that it was due to the PR update and not for the change in host. Considering the situation, your ranking might have slipped!

Yes. After recent update my two website page ranks dropped down from 6 to 4 .

I want to wait for next update.

I agree with you... however, as discussed earlier, this is not the end of the (SEO) world... lol

Hello . . . First time here . . . re: honest man's comments.

I just moved my website to a new web host. One month later, my Google listing rank dropped from "Top 5" to "out of site" (< 100) for over ten key word pairs. I've held those rankings for over 2 years with a gradual upward trend. No other significant changes since the move.

My website is about: inspirational messages, poems, stories, humor, cartons, quotes, etc - things that float around the internet. I can't help but wonder if the content I posted a "long time ago" is now considered spam, because of the "now recent" file stamp date on over 3,000 web page files I just moved?

Note: I run a clean website - I do not "knowingly" do anything to cheat Google. Could someone have claimed I'm doing something improper and cause this to happen?

My Adsense income is badly needed to help me survive. I'm unable to work - poor health. Is there anyway I can get Google to tell me why they downgraded my website so drastically, in several different categories? Any thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yours is a sad scenario... :(

In my understanding, you site has not been landed up into the sandbox. Is your existing content being duplicated? Do write to Google and seek their opinion.

All the best! :)
