It’s well known that the Google<\/a> index is based on the PageRank system<\/a>, which can be viewed using the Google Toolbar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Google<\/p>\n

But something strange has happened on this blog – the main blog entry page<\/a> has a PageRank of 5, the parent website<\/a> has a PageRank of 4, but the PageRanks for most of the child pages have dropped to zero.<\/p>\n

Now I know that posts have been a bit thin on the ground this month (I’ve been busy at work, as well as working on another website<\/a>), but I can’t understand why the rankings have dropped. I found this when I was using the site search feature to find something that I knew I’d written, but it didn’t come up. Entering site:markwilson.co.uk<\/code><\/a> as a Google search brings back 258 results, but this blog has nearly 500 entries, plus archive pages and the parent website – where have all the others gone? Some recent entries, like the one on Tesco’s VoIP Service<\/a>, have a PageRank of zero but still come back on a search (at the time of writing, searching for Tesco VOIP<\/code><\/a> brings back my blog as the third listed entry). Others just don’t appear in search results at all. Meanwhile some old posts have PageRanks of 2 or 3.<\/p>\n

I know (from my website statistics) that Googlebot is still dropping by every now and again. So far this month it accounts for 3319 hits from at least 207 visits – I just can’t figure out why so many pages have a PageRank of zero (which seems to be a penalty rank, rather than “not ranked yet” marking).<\/p>\n

I don’t deliberately try to manipulate my search rankings, but steady posting of content has seem my PageRank rise to a reasonable level. I just don’t understand why my second-level pages are not appearing in the index. The only thing I can think of is that it’s something to do with my new markwilson.it domain<\/a>, which is linked from this blog, and which redirects back to a page at markwilson.co.uk<\/a> (but that page has no link to the blog at the time of writing).<\/p>\n

I’ve just checked the syntax of my robots.txt file<\/a> (and corrected some errors, but they’ve been there for months if not years). I’ve also added rel=\"nofollow\"<\/code> to any links to the markwilson.it domain. Now, I guess I’ll just have resubmit my URL to Google<\/a> and see what happens…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
