Insufficient information. Did you use Wordpress or Blogger? Your own domain or hosted at wordpress.com or blogspot.com? Have you installed any traffic measurement code, such as Google Analytics? Established blogs get picked up within minutes. I blogged about a newsworthy event within 30 minutes of hearing it on TV and the post was indexed and searchable within three minutes. As more trustworthy news outlets reported the event, I got pushed to the back.

I have my blog in blogger not wordpress. I have already submitteed my blog to many free directories and guess what I have 10 backlinks as well (including six PR3 sites, two PR2 sites and one PR1 site and one Not ranked) I have linked with these sites with same anchor text My blog is three column and it has got some good design too. Plus I have written pretty cool stuffs--original content. Now will google give me PR2 or may be 3? Also When will the nxt PR update happen?--Please I wanna know this badly. My current page is not ranked by GOOGLE--grey color on the PR icon in the google toolbar. Also I would like to ask How much post are required to build a good blog?

Hi John. Don't get hung up about your PR. It's all about traffic so check your logs to see whether the traffic trend is upwards. Also it's not about the number of blog entries you make but the quality of them. In other words you have to have interesting content that people want to read. If you have this then you will gain new incoming links and your traffic will increase. It could be months before the next PR update, so in the meantime keep adding good content.

< moved from another location > Hey guys, I am surprised really! I had recently made a blog-2 months old;), no PR Good backlinks, cool design, original content, image alts and so on. I also had won a keyword in the search engines. My blog appeared in the second page of google search when I type that keyword in the search engine. But today when I search the same keyword, I am not seeing my blog upto page 20? What has happened with my blog? Is this the case that my blog will be appearing in the first page soon or what? Please I wanna knoe the answer badly! [edited by: Robert_Charlton at 8:51 am (utc) on Dec. 31, 2008]

John - Google often has a short "honeymoon" period for a new site, page, or article. There's a current discussion of one such example here.... Week old page ranks no 1 - then disappeared from Google index completely [webmasterworld.com...] In the case of your ranking, was the ranking for a specific new article... or was it for the subject of the blog in general? How long were you on the second page before you dropped down? If the ranking was for a specific article on your home page, it's also possible that as new content appeared on the blog, you changed the emphasis of your home page and thus changed the ranking.

Chill and just write good content instead of micromanaging your blog.

Hey everyone, I just bought a Ferrari but I don't have a driver's license yet. Also, it won't start. There's this little gauge that reads FUEL and the needle is to the left of the E, what does that mean? That is exactly how I felt after reading this. John_Lee, I feel for you.

| Ya, that is probably your best option. Just continue to update it with quality content and forget about the search engines for about 3-6 months, it will happen sooner or later. The more you worry about, the longer it is going to take. Google knows...

John, please read the earlier responses and the information about PR in the Hot Topics area [webmasterworld.com], which is always pinned to the top of this forum's index page. You will probably not see any PR cahnge on the toolbar until the next time Google exports toolbar data - several months from now most likely. However if you are attracting good backlinks, then your PR is growing behind the scenes at Google. Now you should give the PR focus a rest and focus on things that matter more - like developing and marketing the blog.

I hadn't use any meta keywords or description in Edit html of Layout menu in blogger Is this hurting my blog in google search engines? Now that I know how to put these keyowrds, I have another query! Can I use different meta tags and description to different blogger posts? If it's possible then how? Also I would like to ask you Will this (adding different metas) hurt my future rankings in google?

The meta description is intended to be unique for each page. How to use it will depend on your specific blogging platform and that's outside the scope of this forum, which is about Google Search. In the Hot Topics area [webmasterworld.com], which is always pinned to the top of this forum's index page, there's a section called -- SOME GUIDELINES -- that holds several reference threads about the meta tags and other valuable information. It makes for some very useful study.
