My profile on Hubpages is ranked a 3, up from 0. My other sites run from 0 for the newer ones to 3 for my Wordpress blog, mostly 2's, but hey, that's better than all 0's and one 1 last time around!
My secret? I've been doing lots of updating and some link trading with more established sites. Hopefully, next time around, I'll have a 4 in ther somewhere. That's like the lynchpin for a lot of sites where I would like to write, but they won't let you unless your site has a 4 PR from Google.

Yes, I also saw an increase in PR to some of my hubs,but my profile PR has dropped to zero. But there are questions in my mind, like why is PR considered so important? and does a page's PR depend on the time since it was published?.
PR is a measure Google makes of where you site fits in the overall scheme of similar sites. It's measured by a lot of factors, backlinks and page views being seemingly the two most important. It's updated every so often, whenever they feel like it, and they don't let you know when that is. Lately, a lot of people's sites were dropped to 0, but they came back up quickly. It seems like they update about once a month.
It's not unusual for one page of your site (or one hub) to have a higher page rank then the landing page (profile). I used to have a 0 for my profile, but my frugalities hub was a 3. Now my profile is 3, and the frugalities hub is a 2.
My profile is now a PR4, my US Navy Boot Camp hub is a PR3, as well as a couple others - lots of PR2s, too. I'm excited about that, even though I'm not 100% sure what it does for me. hehe
My profile is still a 0.
but my Metro Station related to Miley Cyrus hub is a 3.
My Panic! At The Disco hub is a 1.
My Love At First site is a 1.
My Best Movie Endings Ever hub is a 2.
My Inviting Celebrities to my House hub is 2.
And the rest are n/a. But I am happy I got a 3 on Metro Station related to Miley Cyrus. That is cool.
Congrats on your scores. That rocks. I will have to steal that secret of yours, dafla.

Has anyone else noticed that traffic to Exemplore has plummeted? My articles, which have consistently been at the top of Google results, have disappeared into the dark depths.

I read in someone's hub last night that they used Social Monkee to get backlinks for their Hubs. Social Monkee says that it gives you 25 backlinks every day for your page. Has anyone else used this? Is it reliable, and worth it? I'm currently trying to build up my backlinks, and I'm using Twitter,...

I an not sure whether the current Google's update, Broad Core Algorithm update, referred to as May 2022 update, that was rolled out yesterday, May 25, and which will run for 2 weeks, is the cause of people outside of U.S. not seeing ads on their hubs, and the others hubs on Hubpages and its...

I don't know why but the views of all articles written by me have gone down which suggests that HubPages and other sites associated with them are going down in the rankings. Note that I had several successful articles on multiple sites like LevelSkip and ToughNickel. Now everything has gone to...
