Why doesn't my blog has a pagerank?

Perhaps, you can try getting quality backlinks to your site through guest posting opportunities on similar pages that have a higher page rank than yours. Acquiring credits through link juice helps in Google pageranks and all. And besides, also update your blog regularly, if you aren't doing that already. All the best.

Firstly, your blog has a pagerank though it is zero but it is a pagerank. If your blog has no pagerank then it will say invalid or No page rank.

Secondly, google is updating the pagerank after huge gaps and most of the experts say that they will phase out this tool like it has phased out many of its products in recent times.

Since pagerank used to have some anomalies hence wasn't that efficient. People now use MOZ rank and MOZ trust to eveluate the blogs and websites. You can use them as a yardstick.

Hello Suvin, as Gaurab has pointed it out, Google is the one responsible to generate pageranks, and google has been either somewhat of lazy or has a policy of updating the pageranks once in a year. So, if your blog hasn't been there for a year or so, you can expect a page rank maybe, in the next update, probably, early next year.

However, contrary to what Gaurab has pointed out, in my opinion, Google Pagerank is still an important factor in deciding the value of the domain and hence, its importance can't be completely ruled out.

Yes cyberkid I accept that but you also know PR has it's share of anomalies. Since all these ranking systems have logarithmic curve to denote ranks hence when we represent it with just natural numbers there is bound to be problems. 

I think, it's a truth that no ranking system is correct to the extent to be correct for all.

While, a system may work on statistical values, and quantitave factors, it's not possible for a system to take into consideration the qualitative factors related to the blogs, and hence, we can surely say that any ranking system can't be completely fool proof.

True that. PR has even quantitative faults 

You have to build more and more backlink. By getting 100 quality backlinks, you will get PR 2. and it goes on. Focus on content.

Thank you guys for replying! Any way I'm going to try to get some quality backlinks.

Page rank has not been updated since a year and i would be surprised if it gets any more. This is what said by matt cutts, head for spam, Google.

Don't worry, no more page rank updates.

Mate check your facts! The last GPR update was done on 5/6 December, 2013.

Plus, I suppose, that reply was in response to a question, so posting that response in isolation of the question is a bit misleading.

@mattcutts will there be a PR update before 2014? - @NielsBoschh

@NielsBoschh I would be surprised if that happened. - @mattcutts

And here's the link to that conversation on twitter: https://twitter.com/mattcutts/statuses/386910092563447808

So, no more Page rank I guess?

Most probably before the end of this year.

@Cyberkid, I wish you changed your template to something other than blogger default. An seo friendly one. And also use .webp files for images, loads faster! Xnconverter can be used to convert images to webp.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion, Suvin. It's quite worth investing some time on the suggestions, to make a blog much more responsive, especially mine, which loads tonnes of resources (including high resolution images-esp. for the header, JS and CSS files, JSON resources from google docs, PHP files hosted on a different web server, to name a few) from other web hosts. So, given the web resources my blog is fetching from different sources, I believe, there's not much of scope to improve it drastically.

Getting a custom template would mean a lot of work, as I won't be getting like the one I need, plus, for the time being I do not wish to invest in a premium theme.

This is the first time I am listening about webp files.  Thanks for the info. 

The webp files will make it much faster, without losing the quality. Google pagespeed insights reccomend that. I use webp format for images on my blog.

I will not discuss a lot about this thing because so many articles are available on the internet about this topic.

Just check out my website and i have wrote so many articles about it and i got Page Rank 2 in just 6 months. If you follow all the posted guideline you will definitly get the Google Page Rank.

Ok, you may be right! You have nice blog and too bad you have only 443 followers on twitter!

Is it really required to follow special tips to get a pagerank? If so, then mine was an exceptional case. I got a PR 2 under a year of starting my blog (because the PR update happened at that time only), without followingany special tips for that purpose. In my honest opinion, you do not need follow any special tips to get a pageank for your blog, just, work on your blog honestly or regularly and you will get a pagerank.

I totally agree with you @CyberKid. 

CK You got valuable do follow links from IndiBlogger which gave you that PR.  And I think this is the case with most of the members here. 

Indiblogger gives dofollow links to all the posts ?

Yes. 

All links on IB are dofollow except the ones to change the colour scheme ( top right ) 

Try to follow below tips.

1. Write 100% original article.

2. Promote your blog on social networking websites.

3. Get high PR quality backlinks.

Where can I get "PR quality" links? According to Matt Cutts, guest blogging is going to get you penalyzed!

The right way to get quality PR links is to write excellent posts which people would like linking to. But, writing such great content is easier said than done. 

It is not guest blogging that is being penalised that guest blogging done with an intention to manipulate SERPs. Some SEOs generate paid links by guest blogging low quality articles. It is this type of guest blogging that is penalised.

I read it here on Matt Cutts' blog.

I think nofollow links within guest posts are only allowed now onwards!

I too read that article. This is what I was talking about  - 

Added: It seems like most people are getting the spirit of what I was trying to say, but I’ll add a bit more context. I’m not trying to throw the baby out with the bath water. There are still many good reasons to do some guest blogging (exposure, b*****ng, increased reach, community, etc.). Those reasons existed way before Google and they’ll continue into the future. And there are absolutely some fantastic, high-quality guest bloggers out there. I changed the title of this post to make it more clear that I’m talking about guest blogging for search engine optimization (SEO) purposes.
