Pagerank 8 ....how?

Something has changed emil2k...I just want to know what. I must have done something right because as you say...you got a PR6. Lots of people are reporting PR5 or PR6. No one is talking about a PR8 but me. What did I do to be blessed with a PR8..even if it's temporary. Tomorrow I will post my keywords from the stats for you guys to see.


nate...I am done with you. You have proven to be worthless in this discussion.

 

I also got a PR8; not posting proof, not "bullsheet". Site was PR6 before this update, which also wasn't deserved imo.

In google I have 6 links, all from the same site.

I'm not faking pr or doing any trickery.

I have checked every dc, google api and all my friends report seeing it.

 

Yet you won't post the URL...yeah that's helpful.

 

Sorry, I'm paranoid. You'll just have to take my word for it, why would I lie? I have nothing to gain.

Edit: On a side note, a subdomain of the same domain has a PR6 and it ONLY has backlinks from itself.

I have never promoted this domain, it's kinda of a development environment! PR is b0rked.

 

There is certianly something weird with PR. I ahve some internal pages, all with exactly the same links coming in, all PR 5 except for one (the newest one) PR 3. Exact same links, different PR.

Now you might get lucky and keep the PR 8, and no doubt that has some value. I wish you luck, but it sounds like you'll need it to keep the PR 8 unless you're doing more link building than you mention here.

 

Have you noticed all the threads saying "Submit to my PR5 directory, launched today" on the forum. Take advantage while it lasts seems to be the thing to do.

 

congrats, that's really nice... i remember my first pr 8 *sigh* those were the days

 

I still think its just another minor bug, and only Google can answer why is it so, and indexing is not related with PR.
Why not try asking this question or Matt Cutts himself?

 

Somebody asked on his blog but he has relatives staying this week so isn't answering yet.

 

Is it just me, or is Wikipedia a PR0 now?

 

Thats why i say its useless, someday i see a site as pagerank 4 and another day 0, what the hell,

 

oh jeez..that's what happened...I have wikipedia's PR! Oh man!

 

Wikipedia is PR8 itself over here

 

Whats intresting is that it only seem to be new sites that are affected by this "update". Sites that showed Pr0 before while sites with established PR stays the same.

No doubt a minor bug. If it was a question of PR tweaking from google we would most likely se all and not only new sites being affected.

 

By the way I also had a site with only a handful of backlinks shoot up to pR 6 (new site). Then I have an old site with 15-20,000 backlinks stay PR 6...

 

So? It's not about the quantity, but about the quality.

And Google only shows you the backlinks it feels like showing, so you can't possibly know how it is calculating your PR

 

Believe me, the old PR 6 hasnot only abaout 18,000 more links, but also much better quality links. In fact, the best link going to the new PR 6 is from the old one...

 

This site is not showing very high quality backlinks

 

I have had legit PR6 in the past with only about 1k links. PR is based on link quality not just quantity. You could have 3 PR7 links and it would give you an easy PR6 next update. This is why people buy high PR links. Why get 10,000 links when you can buy 10?

Quantity of links has never been the only factor for the PR equation.

 

And how many gazillion times must I mention that G is not reporting all the backlinks. I know for a fact I have a many good PR5 and PR6 links.
