Apparently, I have done a decent job in getting quality backlinks and have moved from PR0-PR3. Great! So, what do I do now? I haven't noticed any SERP changes or traffic boosts. What can I do to capitalize on my new PR?
nothing......unless you are going to sell links. you just the latest person to prove that PR does not impact SERP at all btw...congratss
You can blow your nose on your PR3. Nah Just kidding. You need to do some link exchanges with PR3 or higher sites. Be sure to put fresh content on it. And congrats.
Funny enough, I was just going to make a thread with a similar content as today one of my sites got a PR2: http://www.cfd-traders.blogspot.com but as you say, so what? Is this going to make the site more valuable for buyers? Something that I think not. It's very unlikely that this will increase my traffic either as with my topic, my site needs to be at least a PR5 to get any decent traffic. I'd be interested to hear what difference could possibly a PR2 make to my site?
thats good, you got PR3. noe you have to do some link exchange, put some freash article, keep working on, hopefully u can get PR5 next update, then you will see the results for sure..
Keep adding content and building up your incoming links. Your off to a great start and if you do the above you could do anything you want with it.
You recieved any benefit you are going to recieve weeks or months before it showed on the tool bar. These toolbar updates show the PR that you gained from incoming links about a month ago. PR does help your site, BUT it is only one of may factors. Consider it a pat on the back for the work you've done and continue on.
Just improved your keyword to target and get more quality links using your targeted keywords. This can help you get a better SERP.
