I found the site: juglawest.org - Bidding Directory PR7 When I check backlinks and indexed pages on Google, I was surprised because backlinks = 5 and indexed pages = 66 Can anyone explain why its high PR? Thank you.
I have investigated and found some interesting. You cannot estimate and evalute this site with only Google backlink but you have to use Yahoo SiteExplorer to find it out too. Here is a sum. 1. This site has 1 years 2 months 13 days old 2. This site has some important backlinks from authoritative site, both specific page and sitewide - http://community.joomla.org/user-groups.html (PR 8) | They are being listed as "Joomla! User Group LA Westside - Santa Monica" - http://www.directorycritic.com (PR5 / Sitewide) Is it clear?
LOL, it just another proof that G. PR is totally useless metric. I can name a dozen of well established directories with well over 100 backlinks but average PR and yet sites like that one are sneaking under G. radar because with all technologies it uses, G. systems are still too stupid to catch rats instantly. fastreplies
Actually my bid directory turned from PR6 - to PR7 on this update. Probably the reason is authority backlink from joomla P.S. @fastreplies " I only see 1 rat and it's you "
you should not trust google but go with yahoo siteexplorer: http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/search?p=http://www.juglawest.org&fr=sfp&bwm=i 15k backlinks
This sums the owner up, not much more needs to be said. I left him red rep for this and others have the choice to do the same. Thanks Brian
I think google and joomla will catch up to this site and devalue on the next update. You could report it to joomla.org and tell them the site is no longer what it was instead of taking it to him directly.
Yes these words are mine and one more time I will repeat the same . I'm not insisting anyone to submit link, if anyone think that it is not good idea to submit link then Gr8 . But I feel Brian that you're one of those noobs who are just envy. You left me bad rep , right ? may I ask why ? Did I lied you ? Did I cheat you ? did I insult you ? - No No and again No You left me red rep only because I said the truth , lol and now you've make a post asking others to give me red rep. Do you want to know ? I really do not care how many "wise members" like you will leave a red rep for me. It's time to grow up baby Regards
Reread my post! I never asked anyone to red rep you “I left him red rep for this and others have the choice to do the same.†I did because you openly admit that you couldn’t give a damn about submitters, as long as you make some quick cash. It was this kind of practice that devalued web directories in the first place. Thanks Brian
I agree that backlinks are very important from the Joomla! But you remember that PR is generated from Google, NOT YAHOO
Agree with you, but Google does not show all the backlinks if you search it in Google search engine. Usually if you compare your Webmaster Tools stats and the Google search results you will see that 90% of your links are not shown in the search results, but Google cached them and this list can be viewed only by the administrator of the site from webmaster tools. In regards to Google, Yahoo is more transparent so gives you the data of the backlinks, again its not 100% but more or less real than the Google search results.
You have insulted me and your attitude managed to insult every one who spoke their mind. So, I'll say, you have insulted Brian as well. As to wwws suggestion, I will live up to your label and do you a "favor" in return fastreplies
The directory is not worth even considering submitting to and more fool the idiots that have already. The owner bought an expired domain that had Pr and immediatly tried to make a quick buck, the pr will not last and hopefully no more people will be duped by this so called premium member
I have interesting fact about pr, one of my website lephost dot com has pr3 with only linking to one of my website pr4. Also I learn that the true backlink listing only available in google webmaster tool. The google result just show some of them. Only the legit domain owner can see the complete backlinks. Perhaps he did angela and paul profile page linkbuilding that he compile his own listing.
A link on that site is only $10 so even if the pr goes down to 3 its still a fair price for a permanent link. So I'm not sure why you guys are complaining.
i have a site www.showdirectory.net 176 backlinks , only pr2 lol www.turonzamin.com 200 backlinks only pr4
