I had always figured this was a popular forum, but I didn't know how highly ranked the boards were! I went to Alexa and typed in the URL here, and it came up as ranked #362! http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/forums.digitalpoint.com
Yes, but when your website become so popular Google will reduce your Page Rank manually. That's why DP page rank is now 4 (Before 7)
But hey why is Google doing that? Why are they trying to decrease the PR if it's getting popular? DP deserves the PR 7 but lower PR... that's being unfair.
Why would Google manually lower PR? Probably because there are an insane amount of backlinks here selling affiliate products, promoting blogs, and tons of other stuff. People would join just to start promoting products and making money.
If you think like a simpleton then you will not figure out why. It's very simple: So that you will be forced to pay for their Adwords to get your website on top of the sponsors not on top of SERP. They want to sell you their Adwords Ad and pay the high cost of pay per click.
DP has always fared very well in Alexa due to its huge traffic base. The jump from 1500+ to 350+ was pretty quick about a month or two back and it has been consistently maintaining its position since then. As for the PR, I guess google must have lowered it for the database issues. With the owner again taking control of the DP reins, I guess the previous PR would be back with the normalcy returning here! Regards, RightMan
That's pretty impressive - it will only continue to rank higher! May help us earn more $$$ as more people join the community and start trading online
It shows 396 in my Alexa Ranking? Im a bit confused is does it matter in the viewers location that the Alexa Ranking is showing?
