For my keyword phrase of recent - "improving my page ranking" This is a recent serp increase im on page 1 / position 9 - this has only happened today. Now a little test: Post the PR's of the websites above and below you by 3 results like so: 1. PR 6 2. PR 6 3. PR 6 4. Yoursite.com 5. N/A 6. PR 3 7. PR 3 Just to see that if when you are assigned you do get something in between the results above and results below your listing. Try it if you have a spare 2 minutes. In theory I should have above a PR 3....maybe.
r u kidding us??? what kind of seo expert r u? pr is not the most important thing for serps!!!! do some reading or ask all the senior members here i have see many post from them saying that!
Well PR is one of the factors, i didnt say it was the only ranking factor I didn't say I was an SEO expert either.. But if you have a keyword you usually have the high PR's at the top of the SERPS You wont find many PR 1 or 2 on the top of the serps fool
Sorry have to disagree, Page Rank has nothing to do with serps, I had a zero pr, (zero backlinks) new site which outranked many pr5, 6 sites purely through keyword density on page took around 1 month to do this. Another good example i have a pr7 site old, established, 200+ article pages, spidered all the time, thousands of backlinks with yahoo, and 1400 showing with google .... this is being outranked by 3 sites, one is a pr4, other a pr4, other is a pr5 - (2 are only a year old, 1 of the sites is showing 20 backlinks only in google.
Yes, but PR is a thing which one site passes to another and with that way it goes to SERP. But SERPs are computed in dynamic manner and changes daily, weekly. PR changes a few times in the year so looking into strond and direct corelation between PR and SERP is a bit useless.
no it have and i want a pr4 at least,the thing is that pr is updated every day.....and export every three months about...
I agree that PR doesn't have anything to do with ranking in the SERPs. However, a high PR means that a site has wether backlinks from other high PR sites wether lots of backlinks. So, if those backlinks come from relevant sites they will definitely help the rankings. Hence, even though high PR doesn't mean that you will rank high, I think it's quite common to find that high PR sites rank better than low PR sites.
he trying to say to you that if you have way more blinks it will be some with the keywords that was searching and thats why they rank better.imagine you have a pr7 site with all links pointed have the title crap. you will only rank for crap. lol
Well, they way i understood your post is that PR has a direct impact in SERPs, which is not necessarily true, as the backlinks that build that PR need to be relevant to the linked site. But, let's put it this way, I think that it's more likely that a site with lots of backlinks has relevant backlinks than a site with very few ones. But it's important to point out that It's not the PR what is helping the rankings but the relevancy of the backlins.
Page rank updates all the time. Its visual PR that updates every blue moon. So when the visual PR updates nothing else happens. You just see the most up to date PR. Secondly SEO is much more complicated than just building PR. One related backlink from a quality PR4 website can do you more good in terms of SERP than a link from unrelated PR7 website. This has actually been proven. Even i did this experiment.
I know what you mean and I fully agree. I don't for 1 minute think SERPS and worked by PR alone. There are like 101 ranking factors. What I was trying to do was see what peoples results were and when you got a PR update you could see if it had any relation.
