I get daily 2000 visitors and around 350 returning visitors. I was curious to know whether the traffic will help in raising PR.My current PR is 2.
From what I've seen, traffic by itself does not affect PR. PR is a matter of how much Google "likes" your website and this usually is affected by the number of quality backlinks your website has.
i dont think traffic will affect pr. I wouldnt persnally buy traffic its all crap. Go into forums like yours and blogs and leave a link pointing back to yours will get targted traffic and nice backlinks to rank higher in serps.
I'm not sure traffic on its own raises PR but I suspect that PR is given more readily to pages that are clicked on in the search results. Bounce rate is a difficult one to judge. Not many sites have Google Analytics installed so Google can't be sure what happens after a visitor lands on a page in such sites - they might click on the page in the Google search results, but what happened next?
No but it is still a good thing and will help eventually. It depends on how you are arriving at said traffic or where it is coming from. It will not however increase your pr unless a bunch of people are naturally linking to the site as a result of visiting it. hope that helps, Nigel
Yes, I think so. If you have installed google analytics on your site, and people are landing on your site from search engines, then naturally it means your site is of value, and corresponding pr is assigned.
According to to me Pr is based on backlinks and quality of content. I'm not sure but it also depend up on domain name.
High traffic is very helpful for increase the ranking.Bounce rate is measuring the visitor loyalty.Above factors not involved in raising PR.Your PR will be decided on your back links.
There are no evidence that these factors affect the change in page rank. From what I've experienced, backlinks is the one that plays a vital role in major changes, you should work more on that to generate high digits.
Not part of the current algo that I know of but its only a matter of time before bounce rate becomes part of the algo IMO.
High traffic w/ low bounce rate generally means that users are finding what they are looking for on your site. While this won't affect your URLs' PR directly, it will likely lead to more sites linking to you since some of those visitors will go on to mention you on other sites. The new inbound links that the traffic generates will directly affect your URLs PR. So traffic "can" indirectly lead to increased PR by increasing inbound links, but not directly as a result of the traffic itself.
Nowadays i am reading some of topic & forum discussion traffic is not affect in site page rank. most of the visitor wants satisfied information on website they dnt check site pr & all?
No one is sure about that . but I saw a video few days ago ...the man told about how google will change thier algo and in future most of SEO will depend on Bounce rate.. Q traffic....
