New PageRank & Back Link Data (finally!)

[digitalpoint]

New info is now seeping down to all the data centers, but you can check it now at:

http://66.102.9.104

- Shawn

[Mr T]

Thank you Google!

Do you know how to get the PR using that IP Address?

Directory seems to have updated too :D

[digitalpoint]

Go to your c:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file (open it with WordPad), and add this:

66.102.9.104 toolbarqueries.google.com

Thats for Windows 2000, your version of Windows might differ...

- Shawn

[Mr T]

Sweet, cheers Shawn.

Similar for XP users, but here it is anyway: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Have a quite few PR5 pages now :) Not bad for second PR update ever for me? Im happy anyway :D

[GuyFromChicago]

It's about time - I've been waiting for a PR update for quite some time. My sites went from a 2PR to a 4PR, and 0PR to a 3PR. After waiting so long, I'm glad they went up instead of down. That would have been a bummer:-(

[Luke]

My update was rather uneventful and kinda bad, bad links down from 43 to 23 and PR still 5, third update for me.

[digitalpoint]

Well it's more about rankings than PR and links. So if your rankings are still good, then be happy. :)

- Shawn

[Luke]

They went down about 1 each this morning but they are still pretty good, bringing in lots, but when you PR changes it makes drastic changes to my rankings, always looking for that PR6!

[digitalpoint]

When PageRank is publicly reported (as it was today), Google has already taken it into account long beforehand (same with back links). So really, you shouldn't see any greater fluctuations in your ranks on those days than any other day.

I get the feeling they are on a 7-14 day cycle for the internal PR/back link stuff. Because every 1 1/2 weeks or so, I have lots of movement.

...Because every 1 1/2 weeks or so, I have lots of movement...

Might want to see someone about that ;) :rolleyes:

Im not really expecting any increase in traffic, but backlinks should be much easier with PR4 links page, and now have a Google directory entry - much traffic come from the directory?

[digitalpoint]

I get no traffic from the directory... it's main value is that it counts as a back link.

- Shawn

[compar]

much traffic come from the directory?

Does anybody get traffic from directories??? It would never ever occur to me to search in a directory. The first problem is that you can never figure out the damn categories. There seems to be a meriad of places that a page can be.

I really think directories are totally useless except possibly as sources of backlinks.

[GuyFromChicago]

I've never received a single visitor from a directory. You're right on compar - the catagories are confusing. Why would anyone search through 10 layers of crap to find something when they can launch a search from any of the popular SE's and get good info?

I'm in agreement - directories are good for back links and nothing more. I have sites I never even bother submitting to the directories. Almost seems to be more effort than it's worth.

[Mr T]

I never use directories either, but did get one person come from Google directory today - only been in for a few days too....

[compar]

Congratulations. There is an exception to every rule. Let us know in a week or so what percentage of your visitors come from the directory.

[digitalpoint]

I get a couple from directories too... Less than 10 per week. Overall, it's about 0.000001% of search engine traffic.

- Shawn

[Foxy]

We don't get much more than links from the directories too!

but

Our page links went up

Our PR stayed the same

Our positions......

[Mr T]

Congratulations. There is an exception to every rule. Let us know in a week or so what percentage of your visitors come from the directory.
I get 1 visitor every few days for that site, so probably not enough to be statistically valid ;) But will let you know, hehe

[Foxy]

errr......

No :D

[samantha pia]

i've had 17 from DMOZ this month, and never had any from them before

[subigo]

It takes a special someone to bring a 2 1/2 year old thread back to life.

[flawlesscomputers]

www.flawlesscomputers.com

I have been waiting forever for this update and I get a PR 1 ????!!!!!!

I have links on the following sites (all but one relevant) and they've been there for the past 4 months:

nerdhelp.com - PR 4
triviasecurity.net - PR 5
zolera.com - PR 6
ultraproducts.com - PR 5

THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!

Anyone have any ideas as to why it climbed from 0 to 1 ????

[projectw3]

Not seeing updates on my sites....
False alarm?

It takes a special someone to bring a 2 1/2 year old thread back to life.

[JetteroHeller]

I get barely anything - like 1-3 per month.

[umpaplumpa]

Matt cutts blog has a PR 0 today!

[alice.erin]

how to get listed in Dir like Dmoz and google?
If one submitted his/her site but not getting response after a long period of time(Six months) then what are the steps to be taken to get listed in these dir.
There is no option of paid listings.
And,by the way how much it weighs when you got listed in dmoz?

[haminiham]

Sorry to sound noobish, but how do I check the pagerank using that hosts file? Thanks. :)

It would seem that the thread Link was worth something to someone,
maybe to conduct an experiment?

Lol, and why did I spend 20 minutes reading it before I realised? This keeps happening.
