I had bought some links, randomly from some people at DP. Google started coming to my forum to index. It had gone to 400 pages indexed but again dropped to 65. why? I just noticed that it shows 14 sites linking to www.teen-hut.net How many backlinks are helpful? My site is PR 1 now. I want to raise it to PR 4 at least. Not all links that we buy(high PR ones) turn into google backlinks. One of the backlinks that shows is of digitalpoint signature link. :O Please let me know?
Google doesn't show all the backlinks that it knows about. To atain a PR4 isn't too difficult just keep building links and it will come in time. It's impossible to say how many links you'll need as it depends on many facts (some of which are private to Google), in the past I've got a PR4 off 50 or so directory submissions. Also bear in mind that PR is not SERPS which is much more important IMO.
What is SERPS? Search Engine Reputation per scale?? But, I want to attract visitors to my site from SE.
Oh. Yeah. Thats most important. My site is getting indexed daily and i get some referrals from SE... but they dont stay
So overall, is traffic (good traffic) growing? Aside from how many pages are indexed and what PR the foolbar shows, that should be your main concern - Mike
