Hello, i was just wondering when my ranking bar within the search engine will ever decide to show anything, even a PR10. I was just looking at other sites, competitors with poor quality, old design and few backlinks, yet they are PR5 etc. My site is 3 months old, doing the work everyday to raise its profile. Just wondering on average, how long it might take to be given a page PR by google. Thank you. Cheers DP
I think it really depends on how fast google ranks their site. It normally depends on how many backlinks you have to your site. If you have more backlinks to your site you will get crawled by googles spiders faster and therefore they will notice your site faster and you will get your lovely page rank faster. Most of my sites got a page rank within the first 3 months but that might be considered a long time for some SEO gurus out there!
It really depends. There is no telling for sure WHEN Google will rate your site. But do not worry so much about PR. PR is simply a rating system, sort of like a decoration. It does not guarantee traffic, ROI, sales or anything like it. You should continue your SEO efforts and reinforce them if you must. Remember that PR only happens every three months. With Google it is a combination of content and backlinks.
Pagerank is a mathematical formula and its not related to design and freshness of websites. Pagerank relates to backlinks of a website not the quality of it.
Do you have enough links? Does your site get linked from other high PR pages? Wait for the PR update and your site should have PR too.
It really varies. I have a "Sniper" site that I set up at the end of June that got indexed in under 48 hours, got to #3 on Google within a few weeks, and went from NPR to PR0 in about 3 weeks. This is all with very minimal content and only about 10 pages total. I have other sites that I've put more work into, i.e. "authority" sites, that have taken longer to get indexed/rank/pull PR. Google is a funny animal. Mike
Google only updates PR a few times a year. Just keep improving and adding content to your own site, and get links from as many sites related to yours as possible, including from sites with higher PR than yours.
The Google PR depends upon the sites linking towards your domain... please show your domain to check its linking and status on Google. Google provides PR to site that linking back from good, relevant and high pr sites and other things depends upon Google page rank algorithm.
