WOOO HOOOO
I just got the best call from a friend this morning informing me my PR is back. WOW it has been a year of having a PRO, being declined from opportunities, and doing hours of research/work to get a PR again.
Here is my NEW PR4
THANK YOU GOOGLE and thank you Stacie for informing me. You made my day.
Here is my PR story (shortened version)
I started my blog in March of 2010 and when Google updated in April (which would be the last time for many of us) my site received a PR2. Little did I know that there wasn’t going to be another update (like I anticipated) for a year. SO when I decided to change my url from a blogspot to a .com url, my PR went from PR2 to PR0) and has been a 0 until today.
Here are a few of the things I did. I am not sure if any of them helped, but I tried everything I could to bring my PR up.
Everything you need to know about how to optimize your site with Google can be found in Google Webmaster.
Here is what I did:
- Read how to optimize my SEO and PR
- Switched to WordPress and added SEO plugins & ANti-spam plugins (spam on your site can hurt your site reputation)
- Fixed broken links
- Worked on quality and errors
- Made sure my site was indexed with Google
- Checked for malware on my site
- Checked for Google penalties
- Ran a diagnostics of my site and found all the errors (you can do this in Google Webmaster by pulling up your site and clicking on diagnostics~run crawl check)
- Added a site map
- Made an archive in my tool bar to help make my site easier to navigate
- Made sure my site was mobile (cell phone, etc) capable

Care to share how you got it back to a 4? And why did it drop to a 0 to begin with?

Ok….so I just a check of myself – who’s been a 1 for over a year. I’M FINALLY A 3!!!!!!!! Must be Google just did updates. So now my day has been made as well!!!!!
I was stoked to find Mom to Bed by 8 was at a 3 again. We have been at a zero since our dot com move. Though I wouldn’t mind getting it a bit higher. Thank you for the tips; we will definitely be looking into them.

Thank you SO much for posting this! I had no idea that Google had did the PR update! I just checked mine, and mine finally went back up too! I had the same problem – I switched to a .com, and then I was stuck at a 0! Now I’m finally at a 3! Woo!
