Question about Pagerank

Can someone please explain?

I saw a blog today that had around 4000 backlinks, it was bookmarked over 30 times, its traffic on alexa was around 200,000, it had over 200 pages indexed on google and its age was over 3 years old yet it only had a PR of 0

....why?

 

i m also looking for the answer of ur query.

 

wat is the site address? only then can find the reason..

 

Here is the site: momscashblog.com

I have a crappy autoblog that does better than this, but its domain age is nearly 12 years old.

 

Here is the full info:

Would also like to know bout the pr if anyone has any idea

 

That site could have got good page rank in the past.. and later, it may have blacklisted by google for some reason like linkfarm etc..thats why now it is having page rank zero

 

i too have seen situation just opposed to it.Yesterday only i saw a blog with 5 PR but it had only 3 baclinks.Such a PR might have achieved by traffic but still it was rare to found.

 

It could have a high page rank before but had been dropped due to some negative actions.

 

its depend you submission is good or not second is your backlink follow or dofollow your website content is seo friendly or not.

Can u explain me which activities you completed in off pages SEO

 

Probably some blackhat onpage stuff or linking to bad neighborhoods I would guess.

 

yeah!! copied content is the problem i think....

 

it would have blacklisted before for doing any blackhat stuffs..

 

Whether those backlinks are dofollow. A no follow backlink will not help for the page rank. This might be a reason.

 

yes, that's right and iam aggre with your'e opinion joesmith...
no follow is useless and not effective to increase traffic and PR ...

Thanks

 

People often says that PR is always increased but this is not correct. PR might go down and this might be the reason of the blog you are seeing. Or it might be penalized in the search engines. There can be many other reasons.

 

What about referals? If you comment on a load of no follow blogs in your niche isn't that > targeted traffic?

 

it is a clear case of blacklist

 

Even I feel the same....The blog owner must have done some thing wrong to get those backlinks and Google must have penalized it for that.

 

I think you have checked on wrong search engine in google its showing only 16 back link. and by looking at no of back links you cannot tell about PR i have seen few blogs they have less than 10 Back ward links and they have 3 or 4 PR.

 

I have just done a backlink check on this and it seems like a lot of the links are sitewide/blog comments/forum posts and appear to be nofollowed. This would explain part of the reason why. Could still be a penalty but opens up other options.
