"Changes for our .co.uk finance domains . But only for the inner pages. PR is 6 in some inner pages " Same for my .co.uk's no homepage change but many pages internally are now higher than their respective homepages. "Do people actually check for PR on inner pages?" It's always showing on the google toolbar if you have it installed, so you see it whenever you see a page.
I have three sites one went from page rank 0 to 4 another went from 3 to 0 :-( and the third is stuck at PR 3 even though I have loads of good (relavant) links to it. I do not understand.. Jim at Antique Telephones
I kinda doubt it. No one forces people to use Google, it's their choice so they have to live with it. Besides, G doesn't offer a guarantee to PRs
Mines gone down from a 3 to a 2. It was 2/3 in differnt DC, but now its just 2 allllll over. damn! Looks like i'll have to do some more directory submitting to get it back up again in 3 months time Cheers all.
I don't get one thing: I was happy as well when I first saw the PR update, but after noticing that EVERYONE got doubtful ranks my enthusiasm cooled down. Why are you still so happy about it anyway? It's time to move on. My advice: stop thinking this will increase your $$$ as well. Otherwise I can see lots of dissapointment coming up. And a growing rate for suicides. [That was harsh!]
With these massive jumps in pagerank, like 0 to 5/6/7 How can you actually check if its worth paying for links on them now?
interesting.. I have 3 sites that I have spend 8 hours each in submitting it to directories. I have 50-80 links to them in msn. I have another that I havn't submitted into a single directory, BUT I have done reciprocal linking with 4 PR2 and one PR3 site. It only got 3 links according to msn but it hitted PR3 ___________________________ Conclusion: Directory submission is waste of time
Buddy! You need to aim a bit higher for your inbound links. There are plenty of willing sites to link to you from PR5,6 & 7 sub-pages. You just need to look harder to find them using plenty of free tools available on the net.
I have to dissagree. Directories are an excellent way to start your link building. They are also good to get you an extra link now and then to keep building up your inbound links. Directories helped me get my aquarium site to where it is now. It shows in all three Major SEs and gets thousands of visitors every month. It is only 1 1/2 years old.
Many factors might explain your results, the bigest being timing. The fact that you 50-80 links in msn today is irrelevant if you didn't have the links when Google did their scan (roughly a month ago). Since submissions to free directories are usually on lower PR pages, it would normally take weeks before they are approved and picked up by the search engines. The quality of the site can also have an affect. If you want to use anecdotal evidence, I can say that I have dozens of sites that are ranking high in the search engines, with mostly free directory links. This is over a period of a couple of year, not weeks. Conclusion: Directory submission can give your site a great boost
Here Here! Or is it Hear Hear? You hear it a lot in parliament but I think it's a phrase used in a lot of sports!
Woot! After my site dropped out of the index, I had a nice conversation with Google and they were very helpful. I'm now back in the index and at PR5 - Very refreshing...
Wow, you spoke to google! curious to find out how, although I don't have a need, but want to know what you did
'Spoke' in the metaphorical sense. I had an 'email conversation' with Google (help@google.com) and they got back to me each time w/in 24 hours. I was rather surprised that they cared enough to fix the issue of one website out of the billion in their index . -Matt
