Today during directory submissiom I have found there is a directory which is having only one backlink but 5 PR value. How this is possible? So may I conclude IBL is no more a PR calculation factor?
shortly no. you must not stop building backlinks for your site. pr 5 is not a big value and i think its effect is nearly 0
what is the PR of the backlink? If it is 7 or 8 then it is enough, look at yahoo site explorer, it will show you backlink of the site using the command site:http://domain.com
You must have checked the back links on Google. Check on Yahoo also. The directory must be having more links.
doesn't mean anything....I've seen domains with PR that have no backlinks.....If you are looking for traffic then stop worrying about PR, it does not equate to traffic.
Google does not necessarily show all the backlinks in their search results with link:www.mysite.com So it is quiet possible they have few more backlinks from other sites as well.
Easy, the backlink is a PR7? PR isn't representative of the number of backlinks, but rather the PR of the links that point to the page. 1 PR7 IBL = PR5 5000 PR1 ILs = PR3 (the above figures are approximate) Of course you also have to remember the most important formula of all, PR does not equal rankings or traffic
Yea I have checked it in yahoo too. In yahoo it’s showing 73 IBL. In Google the only back links is having PR 2 and it’s a non-English site. The language I don't know. Also when I have searched it in copyscape it is showing another site, which is having the same condition. So actually what's going on. Is it good, bad or ugly in SEO market?
Don't rely on one baclink alone even it have high PR you must build more quality related links.... It will give you boost to PR... Link building.... And backlinks that you see in Google is not the actual value of the backlinks of the site.... Only the GOOGLE know what or how many backlinks that site have....
This is possible. Even your site has one backlink but the backlink came from quality site its possible for your site to have higher PR.
Google may update a backlink from previous link building processes but Google would not view all of your backlinks
you might need to check backlinks from many sites not only by google. but the more links of higher PR you got, the higher PR you can reach. ^^
I have a site which is PR4 and only 6 backlinks from a site which is also PR4 The PR4 site linking to my site has only one backlinks that is the link to my site
I totally agree with you You could have a massive Pagerank but it wil meen nithing toi your site .. It has been quoted by Mat Cutts as one of over 100 factors in ranking your site .. i think ithe PR tool and the displayed neasure of pagerank is just their to make you think that you ar doing well in the SEO rankings... Its all a load of BS If you get conversions from vistors then surely this is the deciding factor and not some crappy little green bar on your browser ..
