About PageRank

I found the PageRank of my site www.hainsoft.com dropped from PR4 to PR0 two months ago, and the index page was still PR0 till now, but other pages remained PR3.

I removed the reciprocal links from the link page when I found this. I alos found some disadvantageous information about my site on this location: http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/hainsoft.com

I didn’t know why PR0 com up, and how to get rid of it. Any comment & suggestion is very appreciated.

PageRank is one of the critical factors that contributes to how high your website is ranked in the organic search engine results. Basically, a page can be assigned a rank of 0-10. This is the scale Google uses to measure the importance of the page.

But before you think you need a 10 to be considered important, consider this: of the billions of sites on the web, only a handful-literally-have a PageRank 10. Google is one. Yahoo is another. Even some of the most visited sites like AOL, EBay and Amazon aren’t perfect. They have a 9. While the popular social networking sites like MySpace and YouTube are ranked 8.

Those are among the elite sites that drive millions of visitors to their sites each day. A more standard quality PageRank is anything between 4 and 7. You want your site to be at least a four, and you only want to link to sites with a four or higher.

If you’re just starting out, you may only have a rank of 0. This could mean that a Google spider hasn’t crawled your site yet, you have no or few links to your site or you violate the search engine guidelines at Google. To increase your visibility in the search engines, you need to increase the number of quality sites that link to you.

Google sees each link to you as a vote for your page. The more votes you have, the more valuable Google considers your site. But if you vote for people more often than they vote for you (which means you have more outbound links than inbound links), your value begins to decrease.

And the number of votes isn’t the only thing that Google considers. The rank of the page casting the vote is even more important. If site A, a PageRank 7, votes for you by linking to your site, that vote is weighed more heavily than a vote from site B with a PageRank 1. The 7 helps increase the importance of your page; the 1 detracts from it.

Only it’s not quite that simple. Content also counts in the linking game. If that 7 site links to you but has content related to sports when your content is related to knitting, that vote does nothing to help your PageRank. Google has text-matching techniques to find pages that are relevant and important to rank the weight of your links.

Having links to your site on other sites in your niche is therefore important, but if you are just getting started, be sure all of your pages are linked back to your home page. By doing so, you are beginning to take steps toward increasing your PageRank and consequently increasing your visibility in the search engines.

Hello i’ve just checked my domain on a value site and it says it’s worth $1095, then again that site is automated so I don’t beleive it. When I scroll down it says I have 1057 backlinks, what pagerank would you expect my domain to be with 1057 backlinks? I’ve got a SEO score of about 80% I cannot remember at this time. The site is about 200 days old now.

Well here’s the answer, my pagerank is 0.. What would you expect it to be from 200 days old, 1057 backlinks and about 80% SEO score, the domain is http://www.TheTechForum.net I havn’t gotten very good at key words so it’s not easy to find on google

Would anyone be able to provide me a free way on getting my keywords higher on google, getting some pagerank as I realy don’t like 0 and telling me if you think the 1,000 backlinks is real

Thanks, 10 points for the best answer.. Also if you would like to help my website please register on it Thanks soo much.

Hi,
I am looking for a program that would automatically visit a chosen site periodically, and so increasing Googles PageRank and popularity of this site. Is their a Windows program that does this?

Thanks very much.

I have always been under the impression that having a high PageRank score is the key to getting placed highly within a google search. Today whilst doing some research within the keyword term ’software reseller’ I noticed that the number 1 spot was a PageRank 4 and the number 10 spot was a PageRank 5. This blows my belief clean out the water and I’m now really confused. What is the purpose behind google’s PageRank? How does a site get rewarded a no1 spot without it? Please help because I’m trying to optimize my site while it’s in the sandbox so I can get a good placing when I am indexed. Thanks in advance.
To L.R
Please, I didn’t say I wanted to hire S.E.O help. I just wanted to know the relevance of PageRank, thats all. B.T.W I followed your link and the only way you can guarentee what your offering is if you use black hat techniques. I want to rank fairly and be in a posistion I deserve. Black hat SEO tricks are not right, they steal money from hard working people who have an ecommerce business and cant get to google number one spot because someone has cheated and jumped the line. Also they are by no means long term posistions because we all know google’s algoithum gets better and better all the time so one day your top, next day your page 900. Also people like me have a habit of reporting people who use or promote black hat seo. Play fair and lets all make the net a better place. Did you know the internet is only half the size we believe it to be, this is due to all the spam pages flying around. The black hat community is ruining one of the best things we have so as I said play fair

Question about pagerank and domain names (com vs. info, etc..)?

As far as page ranking it is better to have a site with a NON-dot-com address but with an accurate domain name, such as “LouisvilleTanning.info” or stick with the dot-com and have a less accurate domain name such as “Louisville-Tanning-Salon.com”

Here is one powerful way you can incorporate Squidoo and similar types of web sites into your search engine optimization and promotion campaign. This concept, which I’m referring to as “bouncing,” is sound for any of the major search engines because they all take links into account when ranking web sites.

In a nutshell, this is the process of linking to a high PageRank web site that also links back to your web site. The purpose is to help Google or another search engine spider find the site, so that it can then find the link back to your site. It probably seems much like link swapping, but we are mainly concerned with certain types of web sites where we control the process of placing a link back to our web site.

This strategy works with social bookmarking sites like Delicious and Digg, as well as sites like Squidoo that allow you to post HTML content. Social bookmarking has incredible power if you systematically bookmark high quality content on your web site. If your content is good enough, you can grow your links exponentially.

The remainder of this article will deal with Squidoo. It lets you create pages (called “lenses” in Squidoo terminology) with links to anything you want, and you have complete control of the content on those pages. Google indexes and ranks Squidoo pages with much enthusiasm, and the site’s home page has a very high PageRank. Certain other pages in Squidoo, such as lists of tags, also tend to have high PageRank.

Remember, PageRank is spread from site to site via links (unless the links are “nofollow” links). Squidoo tags pages, which are pages that list keywords people have used to categorize their Squidoo lenses, can have high PageRank values. The tags pages link to a list of pages that use those tags, with those pages in turn linking to the Squidoo lenses that use those tags. So PageRank can be passed from the tags page, to a list of sites, to your Squidoo lens. You can then place a link on your Squidoo lens to your web site. Your Squidoo lenses will also have a list of tags which link to the tags pages.

So the “bouncing” referred to above refers to the process of placing a link from your web site or blog to your Squidoo lens (or another Squidoo page), so that search engine spiders can make their way from your web site to Squidoo and back to your web site, at which point you hopefully pick up some PageRank passed back from Squidoo.

If your main site is not indexed in Google or in another particular search engine, then this strategy does not work. The search engine needs to find your site to begin with, unless it finds your Squidoo lens first and finds your site that way, which would be great but not really a “bounce.” Your Google rankings will improve as you bounce search engine spiders to other web sites, only to have them bounce right back, passing PageRank along with them.

Can someone tell me here when was the last time Google has updated the pagerank?

I just don’t remember it.
