At Last DP out of Google's PR Penalty?

Discussion in 'SEO' started by jhnrang, Aug 31, 2011.

  1. #1
    My tool-bar just displayed DP forums PR to be 6 and those of categorized sub-forums as PR5.
    Till couple hours ago they were PR4 and 3 respectively.

    As many of us know DP got PR slap couple years ago.

    So can we finally say DP is out of PR penalty?

    Hey look at that. I didn't even notice. Finally.

    Interesting... Personally, I'd be too worried about the ramifications to give premium accounts dofollows.

    This no-follow thing for signatures actually could be the reason for PR increase or at least it made some effect to it

    This was due to some new PR update or PR has changed some time ago?

    I think DP will still get the same amount of visitors,, no matter what the PR is..

    PR is dead and has been for a year now.. I would hold more value in a good Alexa rank, then a good PR rank..

    Alexa ranking? You are kidding right?
    Alexa ranking is useless at all, it is not accurate at all and you can simply improve i with those cheap crap traffic.
    The most important is serp which directly send you original traffic, then followed by . Alexa ranking, forget about it

    Still, when the forum detect the link is "improper link", it will automatic change to nofollow too. So, it will be fine at the moment

    PR updated again!
    & DP now has a PR = 6 :D

    P.S: DP is a NO-FOLLOW forum, therefore, the PR won't have any effect on rankings

    True. PR is useless. What's more important is backlink.

    PR is a general measure of how much a domain and/or page is trusted. You're kidding yourself if you think it's "useless". Trust and authority matter more but since we can't see those, PR is the closest analysis we can look at in link building.
