Lost toolbar PR for internal links page

Until recently the links page on this website was showing PR2 in the toolbar, the rest of the site is PR3;

The toolbar PR is now grayed out??

I'm not desperately bothered as I don't really use reciprocal links any more, but I am curious as to why this has happened just in case it's a precursor of something else to come.

Anyone got any insight they'd like to share?

 

I had this happen to one of the category pages in my directory a few months ago, it went from PR4 to 0PR, I did a check on Google and found out that the page had gone into the supplemental index, this can cause the PR to disappear. Just about all sites with more then 30 or so pages will have some supplemental results so it is nothing to worry about, but if your main product pages etc. are going in there (or more then 75% of your pages are in there) you may need to do some more link building, getting links to the inner pages of your site is a great way to avoid supplementals.

Edit - Looking at your site you have nice unique titles for every page so that is not the problem, the links page has less navigation (links going to it) then the rest of the pages, this is why it has gone into the supplemental index.

 

Thanks for that Dave.

The only internal link to the links page is from the site map, as I didn't really want to put links to it on other pages.

If there were more internal links to the sitemap would that help?? (i.e. more indirect links to the links page?)

 

Yes if there were more internal links to the link page then it would probably come out of the supplemental index after a while and at the next PR update or possibly sooner the PR would return but I wouldn't do that, just getting more links for the site itself will most probably fix the problem.

BTW - You should place some links to the inner pages of your site in your sig!

 

Ok Dave,

thanks for your input.

Do you approve of my sig now???

 

It may just be a bug, did you check the PR using different tools?

 

Yup, I've used a couple of tools which check the datacenters and it reports as zero PR.

I can't remember which tool I used, but I'm sure something said it had a PR of -1??

I'm not sure if it's relevant that the toolbar PR (IE6) is grayed out rather than white.

 

google has put that page to the supplemental results. see http://www.google.com.tr/search?hl=...loriosaflorist.co.uk/links.asp&btnG=Ara&meta=

 

i'm having the same problems for all the link pages. May be google is now against Reciprocal link exchanges

 

Maybe someone reported it in their webmaster tools page as a link sales page.

 

reporting from webmaster tool page will not effect anythink. it will give google some more criterias to detect paid link better

 

Thanks

I'll work on getting out of there.

 

Sig link is much better and it should help your site.
