Check this out Ford Mustang | Mustangevolution.com - Pagerank 3 Ford Mustang | Mustangevolution.com - Pagerank 3 2009 Ford Mustang Discussion - Pagerank 5!!!!!!!! The Bar - Pagerank 4!!!! Never seen it where my forum had individual forums that had a higher pagerank. This a normal thing?
Yes. Here is a thread with a PR 4. Here Some might be interested in it as there is a huge debate on whether rewriting urls is helpful or not. Well mine are rewritten. Sooooo it would be nice to not respond if you dont want to give me input on whether this is normal or not mmkay!
Why is this in website reviews? I dont want my site reviewed. I want input from those who think rewriting urls is bad if they still believe this now that they have seen my results from a PR update.
Home page is 2 but I have a sub-page with 4 and one with 5. Can't reveal the domain in this public forum. Results came from purchased links. Will
How does that assist in the debate one way or the other? So you have a site with mod_rewrite that just moved to PR4 in the middle of a Google PR update. I dare say a lot of sites WITHOUT mod_rewrite just went to PR4 this evening too. It's in reviews because it's about your site, not about Google. Read the forum descriptions.
My mainpage did not move to a pagerank 4, it stayed at a 3. My threads and individual forums actually are higher now, something that is generally not seen in dynamic urls. That was the goal of the post. I figured I did not have to spell it out for everyone but that people would catch on that my urls are rewritten and my PR is extremely high on threads and forumdisplay pages. Fair enough. However my goal was to get discussion going on rewritting urls vs Dynamic urls after the results of this update.
Anyway just wanted to respond to this: Then how do you explain a PR0 for http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=5 and a PR 5 for http://www.mustangevolution.com/forum/forum275/ Must say I should think there would be more links to Digital Points google forum than mine.
Read this thread. You'll see that many people are reporting this. With and without mod_rewrite. Not my comment, but whoever said it is correct: PageRank is determined by the number and quality of backlinks pointing to a page.
No shit. I understand the PR concept. What I want someone to explain to me is the difference between Digital point and my site and why Digital point shows 0 and I show 5
Because dynamic pages are slower to acquire public/toolbar PR. That isn't the issue. The issue is whether that means anything at all in terms of indexing or SE ranking. And the answer to that question is no. So if your goal is solely to maximize public PR, then by all means shoot for mod_rewrite. If your goal is page 1 SE ranking, that's not going to do it for you.
If you have public pagerank of 5 for a forum/thread whatever you are going to have a high "real" pagerank number which is going to lead to high rankings. Right?
It's not that simple. Stop for a moment and think about it: How well do DP threads show up in searches? How many of those threads have high Toolbar PR? The same is true for numerous dynamic sites and forums.
What I am saying is the general idea is that the more links you get to your site, the higher your Pagerank, and since google uses links to your site to determine your ranking in their algorithm that means that a higher pagerank tends to lead to higher rankings for that page/site.
As I understand it... "PageRank" (versus Toolbar PR) is about "Linking" between "Pages" (versus a Site). I think the term "Link Popularity" is on the mark. With that said, just because you have a "Popular" page that doesn't mean it's a shoe in to "Rank" well for any given term. There is a lot more to the algo than that.
When you can bomb a site with Miserable Failure, when the word does not appear anywhere on the page that ranks first it tells me linkbacks and anchor text are in the top 3 of their 100 awesome factors.
