Hello, I created a website in early January and have been adding backlinks steadily since then. Many backlinks are 0 bu there are about 30% from Angelas list. Ive been creating them for the past 2 months. My site is still at pagerank 0. Im not sure why. I would at least think it would raise to 1. Does anyone think that my site is banned or ??? How often does google look at my site for pagerank? COuld I have the wrong keyword on my site SEO??? Im lost...no progress is making me think of quitting all this work. Please advise. Thanks!
Google should check smaller sites a couple of times a month. For my site I noticed a really improved SEO if I mentioned the main keywords for search about once to twice a paragraph. Let me tell you man the first 6 months of a website there often aren't big results. Good luck man
ok, Thanks guys. Good to hear Google is slow to update rank. The hard part is thinking there is actually something wrong with your site and its not even being tracked.
The last page rank update was near new years' eve, and the next one is scheduled in April, so you have absolutely no reason to worry. The actual page rank changes very often, but the page rank you see in your toolbar only changes once in three or four months. I'm sure your site will rise to PR1 or 2 by the end of April.
Can I ask a few stupid questions? I'm sort in the same boat, I have two sites I have created (one is a blog and the other is a personal finance website) and I've been trying to get my sites "connected" , however I have no idea where to check my pagerank. The whole thing bewilders me, I know there are algorithms going on in the background, but if you google either of my sites directly, my website doesn't come up but a post where I have linked my site will. Any advice? I know I've submitted my sites and it's just bizarre.
you can install google toolbar which will show your toolbar pagerank if thats what you mean. if you mean serp ranking, then you need to use some serp checker tool. regarding your site not coming up on domain search, it just means that google didn't index your main site yet. somehow looks like your inner page got indexed but not the main site. just keep working n your site nad keep building backlinks. more backlinks you have, more often googlebot will follow those links to come back to your site. backlinks are not only important for indexing purposes but also for getting your ranking increased.
nothing to worry here . Page increase take few time and good link building. so continue a very good link building . try to get links form different sources including blog and forums. I think in next update there will be definitely effect in page rank
your homepage have so many pics and flashees,youcan write more words on the homepage! and exchange some link that you will have pagerank 3 the next time!
