hello everyone, another noob question... I own the domain ivylanecottage.com, and my wounder is, how much is a link on home page of it worth? i have someone who asked to for a backlink, but i have no clue what i should tell them. the page rank is 7, thanks.
Never seen that before... i know tool bar pr isn't much to go by but pr7 with no google links and 9 indexed pages with pr0, and otherwise there isn't many sites of authority linking in according to yahoo...puzzles me.
The Google PageRank of Ivy Lane Cottage is probably false. Verifying the Google PageRank using Dig PageRank doesn't show a PR7. That would be understandable, given the very small number of backlinks. Backlink Watch and Yahoo Site Explorer both count only 56 backlinks, with a lot of them from the Yahoo Directory. I doubt that this directory submission offers much value for money.
actually it does, please refer to http://www.digpagerank.com/index.php?url=www.ivylanecottage.com&dc=18 --- i agree that the page rank of this website is a mystery, to me as well, never the less it still shows pr7
That's odd, Boris, because when I verified the PageRank I only got either OFF or N/A. It's indeed a mysterious PageRank.
It doesn't seem fake, but definitely Im also puzzled. It's pretty old page ()webarchive shows 1999() web.archive(dot)org/web/*/http://ivylanecottage(dot)com, what gives great advantage. Theres just one outblink (by the way Boris your link is broken) and some good inbound link
But i am guessing their main keyword would be Vancouver Bed and Breakfast and they aren't even in the top 20 for that.... when searching for their name, THEIR NAME, they come up 9th.... if they were a PR7, they'd be much higher.
Which demonstrates that the Google PageRank and the ranking in Google are not related. BTW, none of the pages on this domain has keywords in the meta-tags. Now that I think of it again: having submitted this website to the Yahoo Directory does offer much value for money. If you'd put a couple of outbound links on the homepage, you could easily earn enough money with those to pay for the listing. Boris, your website may benefit well from this link. That is, if you configure a website on your domain and don't put it on the same server. Lucio gave some relevant factors to getting such a high PR: Domain age: 9 years old; Inbound links: 9 listings in the Yahoo Directory and a small number of low-PR inbound links; Outbound links: only one outbound link (websnest.com) on the entire website; Good neighbourhood: (not just from the pics ) there are a quarter of a million domains on that server.
BorsiD, probably you don't know, but your domain PR is fake! try info:ivylanecottage.com in google http://www.google.com/search?q=info:ivylanecottage.com&btnG=Search this pr belongs to google.ca which is pr7
