What is The Difference Between PR0 & PR N/A

May 22nd, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

Recently I posted on a forum about a site of mine. It’s brand new & pagerank is n/a. But I mentioned it as PR0. A member was quite precise & he corrected that :-)

Then I thought I should write a post about the difference between PR 0 & n/a. It may look same but there is a subtle difference between them.

What PR0 means: PR0 means that your site has been indexed. But due to the lack of quality of backlinks it is somewhere between PR0 to 1. If you have quite a few backlinks & your PR is still 0, then your backlinks are not relevant & quality enough.

What PR n/a means: It can mean two things. Either your site is fairly new & haven’t been online between two public PR updates (usually 3 months), or your site has been penalized by Google. So if you have a old site that had PR before but now showing a gray bar in pagerank, you should check your site address in Google search. If your site is still there in search, you can relax that you are not banned.

By the way, PR n/a can be shown in case of slow connection where the server fails to connect. So, don’t forget to check again.

    Yeah! Thank you. It got PR1 in the last public update. But I was talking about a brand new blog that I opened. It is still PR N/A ;)

    I’m glad that you were inspired by my discussion of the difference between PR 0 and PR NA. I think that there is another, additional reason why a site may be assigned PR 0, and that is in the case of it being a spam site, porn site, etc.

    PR 0 may be assigned as a Google punishment. In most cases, though, PR 0 just means that the site didn’t have enough quality backlinks at the time of Google’s last PR update.
