If the highest PRs were not manually "adjusted", would the white house have 10? Looks like socks-licking.
How to reach PR 10 is a good question, but extremely unlikely for all of us or nearly all of us. I have been trying to set a realistic but challenging goal for a site, and have been going back and forth between PR 7 and PR 8. I'm wondering what it takes to reach PR 8. how possible is it? Anyone here have a PR 8? how hard was it? Did it take buying links? I guess for most of us, PR 7 is about the best we could hope for, and that is a lot of hard work and/or some link cash.
The sitemap and contact pages are PR10 too http://www.apple.com/find/sitemap.html http://www.apple.com/contact/
Just build yourself a 1 million page website and make sure that a link on every page points back to the homepage, and then a buy a few high pr links from about 100 other website and I am sure you will get a 10.
Try again. Wikipedia has more than a million and they all link to the homepage and it's not even PR9.
Its probably easier to set up a multimillion bricks and mortar business than it is to get PR10. have you tried submitting to directories?
ok your right, maybe you need 100 million. By the way wikipedia is a pr 9 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Or maybe you could pay www.w3.org a few 100 thousand for a site wide listing. all 3 of these sites have a pr 10 with sitewide listing from www.w3.org http://www.keio.ac.jp/ http://www.ercim.org/ http://www.csail.mit.edu/index.php Funny thing is all 3 of these sites have less then 6,000 google backlinks.
wrong, try link exchange with Google on index page ask google to put your link under Advertising Programs - Business Solutions - About Google
Here are high ranking sites straight from the horses mouth, all in the Google Serps. Here are some factors I think that matter when being an PR9/PR10 (or just highly ranked) - Age of domain - Clean code design/development - Backlinks (of course) - Category of domain (educational, government, open source, development, entertainment, editoral/news, non-profit, etc.) - Domain name (.edu, .org, .gov, etc.) - Organic popularity - Google favoritism (mozilla, etc.) - Luck (statcounter, etc.)
I had a PR8 two years ago. Believe it or not the domain has two dashes like this xxx--xxx.com... Needless to say I was king for six months only... Now it's PR5 though all backlinks are intact except one PR8.
honestly google is so corrupt. They give themselves a pr 10 and yet by their own standards they should be like pr8 or 9, Yahoo (which has the most inbound links) is only pr8. Yahoo has more inbound links then any other search engine, look up "www" on google - first result is yahoo - so technically doesn't that they are more relevant for the term "world wide web" then google?
