how is this PR possible ? :)

Discussion in 'Google' started by Ggot, Jul 31, 2008.

    I started 2 websites 2 months ago.

    Both have exactly the same links, and were started same time, same hosting.

    Now at the PR update, one of them remained PR N/A the other one is PR2

    The only differences are the name, and the PRN/A is .info the other one is .com

    anybody ever experienced such ?

    Google has probably flagged one as duplicate content, or discounted the links to one because they share the same ownership and hosted with the same account. Google is a registrar and can look at who owns the sites and also makes assumptions based on the ip address.

    Nonsense. The domain extension has nothing to do with PR.

    I agree, .com and .anything will not make a difference

    The inbound links you are talking about. Are they all from exactly the same pages, are lots of them like signature links, where you point to both sites? it might be that there are too many out bound links on those pages and google may be only considering the first few. But I really need more information about your inbound links

    I don't think this is possible... All links are counted always by google no matter the number. (if there are too much, google can ban the site but not to count a link... I do not think so)

    Only 1 sitewide link point to both sites. On one of my PR5 sites, in the sidebar 'partner sites' section. There are 6 links, the PR2 site is the 4th the PR N/A is the 5th. There are about 8 outbound links on that site.

    are the 2 sites the same niche? maybe some links were related and from the pr N/A not related. i think that could be a good reason.

    While both sites were created at the same time, Google may have known about one before the other. I would suspect age would factor into the PR algo. (Birthday = First Google "discovery" of site)

    thats not true at a certain with age -_- i have 2 domains both the same number of links and almost near the same pagerank but the younger one has a better pagerank

    Age factor is near or less under 1%, i believe age is just to be used as a way to take out spam

    So the pages you link from do have multiple outbound links to the same site? There is a lot to be said about keeping the link nubmer from the same page down. Anyhow, the position of the link on the page does have some influence as to how much juice it gives

    PR depends on many factors. If you have the same backlinks for both sites, even then it is possible that one site will get better PR then the other. Just add backlinks for your sites, and wait for some time, you will hopefully see good PR for both sites.

    There are two reasons:

    1-Google recognized one of your websites as a duplicated website with the duplicated contents.
    2-.com domains get faster and higher pagerank than .info domains
