I really have no clue what goes into these rankings anymore… I didnt much before, but have even less of an idea now.

 

My blog Crohnic Illness, while it has zero ads on it, it only has maybe 10 backlinks, 10 posts, 4 months old, and its a PR4… meanwhile I have another site that is a PR1 with 200 posts on it and 1000's of backlinks lol.  Go figure.

I see more and more sites around that are kind of "company" sites that have a PR4. These sites just focus on what that company is doing, get very little traffic, have no adsense or other ads, only link to some partners and are the web interface for that company or organization. They probably only rank for a few very specific keywords. They do not do any link building. My guess is that the PR 4 reflects the authority of that site for that particular niche.

I think it is difficult to create such a site with the idea to monetize it with ads. 

I do agree with you…I have noticed the same thing with those types of sites.  Though Crohnic Illness is just my therapeutic outlet for Crohns Disease…I wish it would get more traffic than it does, but im lucky to get 5 visitors a day.

Thanks! Checking now!

Having thought 'bolocks to it' I am getting myself increasingly worked up – to a degree where I am tempted to give all this blogging stuff up.

Can some one tell me what can be done to inrease one's PR?

It's really not worth getting worked up over, and certainly not worth quitting over! PR has very little significance to most overall online business strategies. You can have high PR and low traffic, and vice versa. You are far better concentrating on quality content, and gaining the approval of real life humans, rather than an automated tool bar. It's the people that will ultimately either make or break you! Now smile and kick Googles' butt!

I could really care less anymore but I'm down to 2 now. I'm guessing it's because I haven't had time to write much new material since Feb. I've been focusing on studying lately. But traffic is up and my adsense has jumped so like I said, I could care less.

Yes, I rather have more traffic and Adsense revenue than a higher PR. The problem I see now after the last Google updates is that "Google gives it; Google takes it". Blog revenue models that are based on either Google Adsense (or other click ads) or PR are fickle since you never know when Google takes away whatever you've build up.

Congratulation to everyone who got improved PR!
Unfortunately we got docked again and dropped to PR2. My SE traffic is still doing very well, but I'm just really afraid that Google will kill my SE traffic at some point.
