I was going through aviva's list of strongest directories and noticed that not far from the top of the list are directories that have high page strength scores but pr0 homepages. Does this mean that G is starting to devalue the second tier directories?
Hello... If changes arent made soon and the 1000s of garbage collecters being created daily stopped then we will become extinct and worthless soon. Our industry is being saturated with less then honest directory owners and crap directories that you pay good $$$ and a few weeks later remove links or worse claim databases errors on purpose to clear room for more ginne pigs. Change is mandated and standards need to be imposed before google destroys us all over a few rotten apples. But change is on the horizen as more directory owners will see the light and modify systems to uphold quality standards and drive the dead beats and scammers out off business. thx malcolm
Agreed, although I do not put to much into page strength it does show what the owners are up to and that they are least building links and tring to make the directory more powerful, so with that said I guess even though they are pr 0 they may still be a good buy.
yeh... btw, malcolm1 is probably right...too many weeds in the garden! This insanity must end...but how ?
Just curious which ones? It would be possible to have a high page strength with 0 PR, but not likely. Also, I think that you are fine with a high page strength directory even if it has a home page of PR0 as long as the page you are submitting to is recently cached in Google. If Google is regularly caching the page and all the other signs are good, the PR of the home page doesn't matter much.
Online Dude, My Jeff Brown Directory was missing from yours why? It has a page strength of 3.5 and PR4?
onlinedude has no connection to directorydump whether direct or in-direct DirectoryDump has Home Page PR 5 And many inner pages have PR http://www.iwebtool.com/visual/frme.html?ex=1&nofw=1&domain=www.directorydump.com/
Only the strong will survive... or more acturately only the established will carry any proper weight in regards to PR etc.
Hi Britishguy It shows pr0 when I look at it in explorer with the google toolbar. I was originally looking at it with the firefox add on that shows page rank and alexa ranking. I was looking at a wikipedia page that was pr 5 the last time I looked and now it shows 0 also - I'm wondering if there is something wacky going on with the toolbars - is there a place where you can definitively look up the current pr of a page?
Hi Danny Not sure about 100% accurate but this seems pretty accurate http://livepr.raketforskning.com/ This has been pretty good with PR for the last few months Good luck with it
Right...I find my directory sales increasing...cause I constantly work on them and they are aged a bit now (though they might look simple in design)
Hi BritishGuy Thanks for letting me know about that pr checking tool - I checked the wikipedia page that I was talking about that was pr5 and then pr0 the next time I checked and sure enough it was pr 5 on most data centers but also pr0 on a couple....
Sometimes there are blank results from Data Centers. You can use also Mongs DC look up. http://www.digpagerank.com/ And an alternative if iwebtool doesn't work for PR http://www.prtool.info/
