Cuil direction board including three of Google former employees said that Cuil will be Google best competitor. One thing to be compared between Google and Cuil is the number of indexed pages, and the search result relevance as the main idea.

Here I will describe about “Factors which influence Google pagerank”. When pagerank is updated, there are certain change happens to blog’s pagerank. There are blogs still in its present pagerank, some blogs decreasing down, and some blogs increasing its pagerank.

We will discuss about pagerank phenomenon, why most of domain remain in its pagerank, not move to better pagerank level, in fact there are some blogs jump down. This actually influences by certain things, those are:

1. Low PR blogs do link exchange with high PR blogs can cause the lowest PR blogs up to higher PR. With note, link exchange done with higher PR blogs. May be this chart below will give you more idea.



Chart above means to get PR 2, and then you have to collect 101 backlinks from PR 1 domain or 18 backlinks from PR 2 domain or 3 backlinks from PR 3 domain and so on according to the chart.

2. Aware to your inbound and outbound links, inbound links is another domain, which link to your domain. While outbound links is, link from our blog to another blog. You have to keep outbound links less than inbound links. When outbond links more than inbound links, then it causing a certain blog will remain in its PR, or even get lower PR. When your inbound links more then outbond links, then you just have to wait your PR move up to the higher level.
3. Leave a comment on other blogs will get backlink, you can check your backlink using backlink watch, you can see how many backlinks you get and which blogs are set their link using no follow attribute.

Those three factors above are factors that can uplift our PR to higher level. Now we will se factors that can cause blogs PR remain on its PR, those are:

1. Not yet qualify to above chart requirements.
2. Inbound and outbound ratio is not suits to Google standard and there are inbound links changes in last 3 months when Google update their PR.
3. Your blog are selling link like Text Link Ads (TLA), paid review without inbound link counterpart. This can causing your blog remain in its PR, you have to be careful, and you will fall into lower PR in such a time.
4. Blogs which give you backlink undergone to lower PR. If it is happen, your blogs will remain in its PR.

Below are the reasons why your blog PR decreasing down:

1. Too many Outbound links then inbound links.
2. You are doing Paid Review, Text Link Ads (TLA) and other kind of this program and you are not counterpart with enormous inbound links.
3. Your links is been gotten off on your friends blogs.
4. All of your backlinks blogs are dropped.
