PR explanation

Why does the PR fluctuate? I.e. front page may dip from a 5 to a 3 but sub pages i.e. xyz.com/new/ goes from a 4 to a 5? Does anyone know why or how google PR behaves this way?

 

Thanks for the question, this is something I am wanting to know also.

I had one site keithcash com go from 4 to 5.

Would like to know how to make them jump.

Cheers

 

Their are a number of factors that determine your Page Rank. But your subpages PR will always be less than the top level domain.

 

subpages may have more pr than homepage.

 

there is no such rule

 

whichever page on your site gets the most incoming links will get have the higher PR

 

PageRank is 100% determined by incoming links. Most sites have the most links to their homepage, making the PR higher. The home page links to sub-pages, which passes PR to those pages. If incoming links go directly to the sub-page, it can make the PR higher than the homepage.

 

becouse google see sub domin diffrent domin

 

A sub-domain is not the same as sub-pages.

 

some times a sub pages can have a high PR.

 

I think --besides backlinks --activity on a particular sub-domain is also important for PR. If the sub-domain is more popular and visited by bots more frequently that page should have high points with G --which will eventually be awarded good PR --sometimes higher than the main/home page.

 

Usualy your subpages will rank a little lower then the home page sisce most of your backlinks would generaly point to your homepage. this may change if you have a page advertizing a specific product or a popular article that generated more backlinks or should i say better ranking backlinks to that specific page then it will recieve Pagerang value that trickels down from your home page plus the PR generated by it's own popularity/backlinks.

 

Visitor traffic has no affect on PR - none.

 

google pr fluctuate all the time but its not updated in the bar....The quality incoming links to those sub pages as well as content are the main factors to why this has been going up....As far as your index page is going down there could be many factors...one is that you have questionable sites linking to you or blasting your site out to directories to gain more points...I tried this before and my pr went down for several sites...did you change anything to the main site and have you done anything lately when it comes to link partnership on the main page?

Good Luck

PageRank changes are directly related to the incoming links to a site, as well as the quality (especially originality) of its content. So this explains the change.

 

Johan - thank you for reading my post correctly. Yes I had someone submit me to many directories... I asked about this and was told this doesn't affect your PR. You think directory submission affects PR? How can I reverse this?

Also how quick does google update PR... because I recently did directory submission and my PR just changed last week... can google update that quickly?

 

mjewel is right, PR purely depends on the quality of incoming links, nothing else.

As long as there is a valid and relevant link to your page, it is considered a backlink and contribute to PR allocation.

Toolbar PR only updates once every three months, the next update should be in Apr

 

It is actually just the same as the name it self. Page Rank
it is not Domain Rank or Sub Domain Rank
so your page or sub domains will of course could be possibly get different PR. i think that's clear enough for you

 

only one person really addressed my original question and that was what would cause my main site xyz.com site to go from a PR5 to PR3 and my sub folders i.e. xyz.com/sub/ etc. to go from a PR4 to a PR5


n e other insights?
