there are so many different possibilities to why you have a pr2 with all those backlinks... - you may have built links too fast... - you may have bought links... - maybe you have built a lot of the links since the last pr update and it isn't updated yet - the backlinks may be PR0 ... won't help you much - the backlinks could be no-follow - you might have a lot of your backlinks from the same domain/IP
Link Signatures And Posting on Forums... Spamming? Social Bookmarking Sites Links Exchange & Link Submission
i may agree with you in this PR0 may not be a help on PR's what the heck with PR's lets focus on traffic!
how long has it taken you to get the 30k links? It maybe that google has not done an update yet but it is also very likely you have not suddenly woke up one morning to find all these links either so.....dunno
Hi , i just did a quick forensic on your blog , just out of interest , and thats how you learn about SEO ( BTW), your blog seems to have 3000+ backlinks ( not 30,000 ) It is riding on the back of the "all & all" blog mainly ( for backlinks ) "all&all" appears to have an apparent PR of 5 , but it has 300 + outgoing links per page , diluting any link juice to your site to a trickle So a PR 2 is generous and may go up or down on the next update.
Does your site have outbound links to "bad neighborhood sites"? If yes, then this would definitely cost you points with google.
Definately, as nice as Google recognition is... it doesn't mean much unless you are selling backlinks.
Try and get one way links instead of reciprocal links. Also when sites are a pr0 they still have a pagerank of 0.1 or 0.2 etc. So getting 30,000 of these links should surely make your site higher than a pr2. You should check to see if the links are dofollow links. I'm not going to go into too much detail because kg_lew outlined some of the main reasons why this may have occured.
Link quality > link quantity. I suggest you check out my post about commenting on high pagerank blogs to get some easy backlinks quickly.
Either number one has more or else they have a more favoured history with google. I would use snafu to find out what pr1 is doing and replicate that or do it better.
with 30k backlinks there is no WAY on earth they're all relevant. that's why your PR sucks, but IMO it's decent. Better than 0
exactly .... Quality and relevance of link is major role in all of the PR game........ b/w my site backlink 270 only and its now PR4..... akhtar
