PR3 for past 4 years!!!

PR has been the same for over 4 years but the site is always changing and more people link to us all the time, any ideas? www.mxwebsites.com

 

It's no wonder at all.Nobody but Google knows the reason.

 

for the first view all parameters look good: many indexed pages, low number of outgoing links, old domain, fresh date of cache
maybe number of back links is a bit small

 

1st thing that matters is backlinks
2nd content
3rd visitors

 

Maybe the link is nofollow, then it wouldnt help you on PR

 

Funniest thing I have ever heard!

Most important are visitors and content and not backlinks. If you have loyal readership, you will still get much traffic and links automatically but only getting links does not do anything!

 

You have a lot of outbound links. You need more backlinks to balance it out. Your traffic is also low for a PR of 4 or 5 that you want. You need to start advertising on some major sites in your niche.

 

Probably your building reputation is counterparted by some negative approach. Please check you are doing everything right and are not earning negative reputations in any way?

 

Are you really that concern about your PR?
For a 3 yr old site with a stable PR3, i will be much more concern with my traffic growth, unless of course you are looking to do some link sales : ))

 

From experience its the backlinks, content, visitors and bookmarking that ups a page rank.

 

Also important, is where are you coming up in search for your keywords? And what PR is your Competitors?
I always look at everything to make adjustments to my sites.

 

PR will increase is the links coming to your site are from pages that themselves have good PR and less outbound links. When and if Google will change the PR: no one knows about it.

But one thing is for sure, if you can get quality links: like link from Yahoo Directory, then that will sure help your site's PR/SERPs.

 

I think all you can do is get more links - the key is that the links need to come from pages that have high PR.

If you get 1,000 links from 0 PR pages then that is pretty much worthless.

 

The backlinks are not strong enough to increase PR. That's the only reason I see.

 

That means you didnt do enough things to please Google

Work on your on-page stuffs including content AND get more and more quality backlinks.

 

Bummer, I've had a membership site for less than 4 months and its a pr4 already :-p

haha bummer bro - It could be your backlinks are nofollow - PageRank is about how much of your content is indexable to the spiders as well...

Ebook on SEO - well not really an ebook - mostly an article with great references

Agreed with u

 

my website has been online since 2001 and its pr3, it gets over half a million unique users a month and 5mill page views.. beat that

 

Traffic is not a huge part on PR - PR comes from the weight of inbound and outbound links.

 

Don't be too worried, you have an above-average PR3 site. The thing is, you have 168 categories in the left column. After looking at 10 of the categories ... every one was PR1. If those subpages were different websites, you'd actually be sitting with 1 PR3 and 168 PR1 websites on your hands. A sitewide link off your website in my opinion would be more beneficial than from a PR5 site that is only one page.

forums.digitalpoint.com has over 9 million pages indexed on google. 9 million pages indexed and its only PR4. This is because there's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of links off the forums homepage (and that's just their currently active users block). If your site wasn't spending all its PR on your 168 subpages, it would probably be PR5 ... my guess.
