I probably get 3-4 offers a week of links on blogs and web sites. The offers range from $900 for 5 permanent links on PR6 blogs, through to $50 per link on PR5 sites.

When I check out the backlinks there's usually only a handful for these sites. When I ask the owners how they got such good PR for so few links I never get a reply :) I wonder why?

Yes but this is a 2 month old article - looks like it is going to be a hit on a 3 month cycle.

Hi Andy. good post, have been thinking the same. one site in our care has received a PR5 with a grand total of 6 little links to it. definitely suspect, in fact blogged about it a little while ago before seeing this.

and curse you for alerting the masses I was going to get straight onto DP and try and sell a few links before the big correction comes :)

My PageRank has remained consistent, but I've noticed my LinkDomain number has been dropping dramatically lately. It dropped by over 100 one day. And another 50 two days later. Could this be related to what is going on with PageRank?

Hi,

Well, I had my website's (not my blog) name as a subdomain (host/mysite) and had a pagerank of 2. Then suddenly lost it.
I thought : maybe it's because it's under the main domain.
So, I pointed the DNS to my website's hoster and now it's www.website.com, but I still have no pagerank.
At least I got good news this week. The people at DMOZ already updated to my new URL, which was quite kind from their side.
I guess I'll have to wait.
I wish I'd have at least a pagerank of 1, but I got 0 for my website and blog. And when I check my link popularity, I don't get links under Google and MSN....I wonder why. I even have submited a sitemap to Google...
Anyway, what matters to me now is writing good content on my blog, or at least trying.

Take care and good luck with your website,

JosÃ©

With most blogs due to poor linking structure, blog content slowly decreases in juice as pages run deeper in the archives.

Also important is that the other blogs linking to the blog post, their pages also are going deeper, so passing less jucie.

I certainly hope this update is still ongoing. My homepage went from a measly 1 to a 3 but many of my internal pages with PR 2 or 3 now have NA/10. My pages are all indexed properly so I have to hope that it's just an ongoing update.

My site has never had content on it. It has just had a page saying that we will be putting up a website soon. Its been up for 2+years and now we just had a basic page and it is giving a PR of 2. Consistent across the data centers. This is good because we are actually doing things to put the site asap but there is hardly any links to it. I think it is because of the process needed to get the URL. For it you need to be a registered business and be approved to get the URL. Its not ENTIRELY about back links. If it was I wouldn't have PR 2.

Anyone who buys or sells based on pagerank is going to be sorely disappointed.

Yup. One of my sites went from a PR6 to a PR4 with the last round and now dropped to a big fat zero with this one. I noticed it a couple of days ago and thought that maybe it was a temporary glitch but it looks like they slapped me good and proper this time.

Ho hum...
