Directories and PR

Discussion in 'Directories' started by BooBoo, May 1, 2006.

    How come most of the directories I see have a great PR on the home page and no PR on internal pages like the page my link is on? Are they purposly keeping the search engines away from those pages? Are these directories helping me?

    Its depends on alot of things. :)

    One point is the way the script uses interlinking. There are several ways and placements in the code than determine the value of the link.

    PR er determined by backlinks from other webpages, and they "normally" point to your main page which is the one getting highest PR

    Third, directories are mostly dynamic build and when new pages get submitted to the directories they "expand" and make new URL's for page 3,4,5 etc. --- PR takes time to count, calculate and update for google (month+) so when you get accepted to a directory that page is propable PR0, but in time the PR will raise accordingly to the site it is on, and incomming links to the actual page.


    Yes, the right directories do help you :) The page might have lousy PR now, but that can change alot over time

    If a website has many outgoing links on the start page, then the PR will be shared among both the internal links and the outgoing links. So, in order to spread the PR internally to sub pages the website should not have too many outgoing links on the start page.

    They must build backlinks to subpages if they want good PR.

    They just do link building for index and it become that index has "good" PR and subpages don't have PR at all.

    Interesting. Since that wierd PR update recently I have internal pages with higher PR than the home pages (no home pages received any update to PR?). Oh well. While I would like a PR update for ALL my pages, I don't mind too much about the home page. People don't submit sites to the home page of a directory anyway, they want PR on internals. Maybe Google will have a big update soon to correct all this.

    there are some that buy domains that have been used in the past, and have pr already. But because the pages of the directory are new they don't have pr until the next pr update...

    yeah, me too, and this is unfortunate, because usually people that do that aren't too keen on hard work and making that directory work...it's somewhat of a cheat...

    And keepin mind that the PR you see in the green bar is on a time delay .. actual PR can exist for a directory page ..

    hi,
    directory and pr both are the integrated part of search engine optimization. so a number of quality directories help to increase your page rank and traffic.

    Good linking is the key to spreading PR, but submitting internal pages, when possible, increases PR overall.

    Good links are SEO friendly ones.

    A proper sitemap definitely helps.

    If I remember correctly, you have a PHPLD site...right, Spyrit? If so, upgrade to the latest version (3.04 I think now) and it will come with a Google sitemap feature built into its admin.
