Lost out in the PR update

GameMakerBlog appears to be a big looser in Google’s latest PageRank update going from PR2 on July 9th to 0 today.  Whilst I am not concerned that my search rankings may slip, they vary week to week anyway, I am annoyed as this could have a big impact in reducing the number of sites willing to advertise on GMB.  PageRank is seen as a measure of how noteworthy a page is, so I wouldn’t be too surprised to see income in August at around half that of July.

The pageranks of all the other sites I listed on 9th July have remained the same.

On PageRanks

The highest Google PageRank I have ever achieved for one of my sites is 4/10. This was for a site, funded by a New Zealand online advertising company, I co-ran which provided a CPM (per thousand impression) based advertising service for promoters. The NZ company went bust and we closed the site a couple of years back, the Page Rank has now fallen to just 1.

Here is a list of some of my domains which have a PageRank:

Suprisingly Stencyl.org has PR 0. Fleague.net did get (somehow) to PR 3 at one point, thanks to a single link in from a high PageRank page.
