zero PR website? It seems to get PR or links you need PR to begin with And if you buy links how long does it take for the PR to update?
toolbar updates every few months. you should be able to get PR 3-4 by submitting to 300 or so directories, maybe more maybe less.
if your content is really good people won't care about your PR. I've had PR 5 and 4 link to me and I was a new site. So, focus on content, get started and then look around. Some may accept you. If not wait a couple of months and as mentioned once your PR is decent start linking. Skinny
Write an article, submit it to every known article site on the web. Couple that with a few hundred directory submissions (like the ones on the Free SEO Friendly list at http://info.vilesilencer.com), and by the next toolbar update you'll have a good PR. Of course, by then you likely won't care because you will be busy generating traffic (which generates revenue) to care about a silly marketing gimmick like PR.
good-morning IamNed, just surfing the NET, etc... as for your question, i just link all my sites together, and that seems to work... all my secondary sites have atleast a PR4 ranking... still that hasn't help when it comes to traffic per say... ( aka... each averaging 50-100 or so unique visitors per day ) have a nice day... sincerely, c.t.adams-///
PageRank really only matters for PageRank based link exchanges. Some hit ideas go viral right away. Other link opportunities may take a while to flourish because many people are hesitant to link at a new unproven site until they feel they can trust the author of the site...sometimes that just takes time.
Creating one way links like from article sites and directories is the best way to get a new site off to a good start. Once you get your first PR you change strategy to concentrate on reciprocal links.
Do reciprocal link exchanges still work? I thought they had been devalued and we should rather be looking for three way link exchanges. Dont think this is a good idea. If Google picks it up they get tense?????
For PR purposes reciprocal links are devalued. Doing hundreds or thousands of link exchanges won't get you much PR (if any), and I'm not sure how recips affect your ranking position, but they will get your site found and spidered by the search engines. I read somewhere (Matt Cutt's blog?) that you probably shouldn't link all your individual sites together too tightly, but I don't have an authoritative link to back that up.
you could join this link exchange network. linkscitadel.com, and maybe a member will link to you. Some members approve others automatically while other members are very selective in who their partners are.
Sorry to go back to it but I understood that a lot of sites that relied heavily on link exchanges took a huge knock in the rankings after the last Google update and that some people are advising against reciprocal linking because its a waste of time. Is this wrong?
I can confirm that Jagger ripped my wife's DJ site a new one. She did mostly link exchanges, and after the Jagger update her site drop almost 50% of it's reported backlinks. I also watched her adsense revenue drop from about $2 a day to about $4 a month! I don't think link exchanges are worthless, but they are definately devalued. I'll see if I can find the page on Matt Cutt's blog where he was talking to webmasters at an expo (SES?) and mentioning to some of them that the were doing too many link exchanges.
