Why is my Google Pagerank N/A?
I bought a new domain and hosting in the beginning of May 2013 and transferred all the data from my 5 month old Wordpress.com blog to it. I can see my Alexa rank but why is Google rank not available for my page?
How often does Google change Pagerank? And when does Google generate a Pangerank for a website?
Yes it seems they will take some time to complete the update process..
@Ritu- Don't bother about...just do your work, it will give you fruitful results for sure....
@Avadhoot - my site did not get accepted so i thought Google pagerank may be a factor in that.
I know Indians need to have a functioning blog for 6 months before they can apply for adsense. I still tried though
There is no thumb rule like that. My blog was accepted after 21 days and I will be completing 6 months on 16th June. As regards to 2nd update is should be out in the second week of June.
AdSense has nothing to do with Google PR. In fact, traffic or revenue also does not have any direct relation with Page Rank. Page Rank is calculated based on the number and quality of links to your site but that is not always a good indication of the quality or popularity of your site. If you get a single link from a PR 6 website to you blog, your blog may get PR 4 or PR 5 with almost no traffic. I personally have PR 3 site with over 25K page views per day and have multiple PR 4 sites with less than 10% of that traffic.
Typically, Google require Indian publishers to have functioning blog for 6 months but they are not really very strict on that. I have seen many publishers getting approval before that. If your blog has lot of good quality and unique posts, you may apply.
Thanks for the info. I had no idea about this. They did not give a satisfactory reason so i thought maybe because I didn't have a google rank or something. Another thing was my posts have remained a little bit about eveything, no niche so I was worried.
I had heard about the Google rule of thumb (six months) and I am aware of the exceptions. I'm working on making my content unique. I'm don't know when to apply again

I along with a few indibloggers have a link from Idiva.com- a PR6 site, but still my site has GPR rank 1 while alexa rank being 22,33,708.
Not only me but among those other IBloggers-barring a blogger(who had a GPR 2) none has GPR more than 1.
@ Avadhoot Page Rank as the name suggests is related to a page and not a site. The page on idiva which links to you has PR 4 and the page in your blog which was linked has PR 3. Isn't it a good thing? 
@Ritu: I suppose you have put a 301 permanent redirection from old domain to new domain. It will take time 2 to 3 months to pass the link juice from old to new domain. As the Google algorithem updates, PR will be back. One more thing you can do is just put a canonical tag on old domain for new domain. And, keep doing work in natural way.
Cheers
@Pankaj - I did not put the 301 permanent redirection, I'm genius that way 
Actually I migrated from wordpress.com to .com and redirect was costing me extra money (it as also a different name altogether. I have done everything manually. I used to have more than 300 incoming links, only 58 right now 
Do you suggest I use redirect now?
So, you copied all the content from old wordpress blog to new one? In that case, Google will see it as duplicate content.
Use redirection.
@Ranjith - I deleted all those posts from the old blog.
Would it still be considered duplicate?
In that case, no. But, you shouldn't have done that - By deleting your old blog, you have lost all your backlinks.
But, as it's just five months old, don't bother about it much.
Ranjith - I have a backup so should I upload those posts to the olg blog again and get the 301 redirect?
Or is it gone for good? It was 5 months old but I had like 300 incoming links
Ranjith - The blog is still there, I just deleted the posts that I wanted on my website. the old blog has like 10 posts now.
I started my new blog in May only so deleted stuff around 10th May
There is no harm in trying.
This page from Google Webmaster Tools has some useful information. Use the 'Change of Address' tool.
I think that after informing Google of the change of address, you can delete your old blog completely - I'm not sure of it.
ThankS for your hep Ranjtih, i really appreciate it IB Forum king 
I will check it out and see what I can do. I have actually deleted the old blog's sitemap from my webmasters
@Ritu_KT:Yes, of course. If you want to get all the link juice to your new domain then there is only one way that is 301 permanent redirection.
Hi Sanket, I suppose you are new on IB forum, you have been posting too many of your blog's links in forum threads. I am not sure but Indipolice might see it as breaking rules. I just thought your actions can lead to your account getting disabled so thought of informing you. If you want to keep doing it, your decision.
Thnx Ritu I will take care but I not only post my links I also post other sites links too which can help people ! 
Oh Sanket, I know you posted relevant links. All I'm saying it don't post too many of them too often :) If you are doing something good, you should keep doing it but isn't it better to be cautious?
But that doesn't help.
Posting links on forums is OK provided that the links are relevant. Moreover, I feel that half of your replies containing links is not acceptable - with most of them not really related to the discussion.
I've skimmed through that adsense post of yours and feel that it contains too little useful information.
Ranjith I dont think so it has all information about adsense approval
OK. Each one has different opinion about quality of articles.
Just remember one thing - Posting links is OK but too many links is not acceptable.
Let's leave this discussion here
Ya arguing = wasting both's time Ok i will take care of it and I just post 1 link on my forum reply's and that also not in my all reply's .But any way I will take care of it Ranjith and Ritu thnx and by the way Ranjith why you don't you make a cool blog and monetize it as you are a leading member on IB you can get traffic easily hope you understand what I'am telling !
