I can't wait for PR to update, so I can see hopefully a lot of my hard work pay off on the directory I started a couple months ago. The alexa is somewhere around 45k weekly average, the 3 month average is 86k currently, so I'm getting some okay traffic. I've been submitting to a lot of directories also, so I'm hoping that both of those combined, I can get at least a PR3 out of the update.
I am very tense now. Invested lot of money with the hope of getting good PR for my sites. I will be doomed if they don't get good PR. Hope for the best Thanks
It's always interesting to see what happens (sometimes it does not go the way you expect), but I often think Page Strength from SEO Moz should take out PR as a factor, and then it could be a replacement metric for online usage and reference.
Thanks! I'm actually working on making a fully custom template for it now. The one right now is a customized free template.
I agree Chris you never know what your going to get. I'm not sure about the SEOMoz thing... I never really looked at it but I feel Google does a decent job with PR and it's still a good indicator of the strenght of a site. I of course look at other things when submitting to a directory... I enjoy a directory that is fairly clean and has no site-wide links on it.
My biggest regret thus far back when I was a big time newb . Now I have to keep them all there for a year.
why PR update so slow? It should do every month... Btw, does PR related to a domain age or just fully related to backlins? I am not clear about that. Thanks!
There is a tool that "predicts" PR. I`ve seen a lot of lame prediction sites which use pretty much identical script that doesnt work but this one worked for me. There are about 10 google servers that show the current PR. When its time, some of the servers show updated PR while others show the old one. Takes about 2-3 weeks until they all synchronize and it means you can know the PR few weeks in advance. If anyone needs it, i`ll paste the URL.
I just bought a featured link in your directory. Hopefully I will share in your success at the next PR update!
I guess i need a PR update now since my directory has got a Page stregth of 4.5 / 10 with a PR0 Fingers crossed for the results Amit
