Most of the time I have seen websites those have zero page rank and not even have good backlinks but get rank high on search engine page. Does anyone knows how and why this happen? Instead the websites with good content, strong backlink and high pr placed lower than that, why?
1st thing - PR does not have to do anything with RANKING 2nd Thing = there are numerous factors involved in ranking like domain age, domain name, sneaky tricks that will almost instantly shoot your brand new site on first page etc etc
It is quite difficult and complicated to understand easily about google search engine strategies. Andy Rubin is saying right, backlinks on well pr sites always does matter. you should focus on it, 2nd which keyword you want to boost, you should understand the appropriate ratio of keyword repetition. with in some days you will get your results.
its not necessary that u have 0 page rank and you will not come up. with 0 or low page rank, sites are on the top. Julie reader is right. there are many factors.
PR is different from RANKING and doesn't play any role when talking about SERP. Concentrate on good backlinks from related websites and if possible with high PA & DA
