If you click on a website and the part of the website you see first either doesn’t have a lot of visible content above-the-fold or dedicates a large fraction of the site’s initial screen real estate to ads, that’s not a very good user experience. Such sites may not rank as highly going forward. That is not really the case with this site.
Without doing a site analysis, I would hazard a guess at the site not having regular fresh content and/or the rise in mobility. A higher proportion of surfing is now via mobile devices. This site needs to respond to those devices.
Ask your developer to format your site to a responsive web design and include CMS. This will address the mobility and fresh content issues. I am in the process of converting all my sites right now.
Good luck.

Subject: Re: Page Rank Confusion
This looks to be an issue with the "fold". The last round of Google updates hit the Fold issue pretty hard.
The Fold refers to how much content is seen, or images, without having to scroll your browser window.
You and so many others have been hit by this.
Best,
Jay

To anyone out there,
I don't know very much about Search Engine Optimization and all of the updates that Google has done to its algorithm. However, I do know that my website had a Page rank of 4 late last year and I just checked it again and the Page rank is 2. My rankings haven't really made any major moves, but it kind of bothers me that the Page Rank was decreased. Can anyone tell me why they think that this might have happened. My website is www.thorpelawfirm.com .
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
