I wanted to find out how to get a higher pr on an e-commerce website. I have a few pages that are content driven, but for the most part, it's just products and descriptions of the products. It's at a PR2 now and the blog for the site is PR3. Any help would be appreciated! Liz
Deep links to your site map, catalog/categories pages ect... should help. Try to avoid dynamic looking urls.
Key to good PR for an E-commerce site is to have deep linking among all the pages and not having query-parameter in the link. For example: www.site.com/index.php?cid=45 should actually be written more favorably for seach engines as something like www.site.com/catalog/45 or www.site.com/45, If your site is hosted on linux/apache, you can make use of .htaccess (if mod_rewite is enabled). If you need .htaccess help, you can PM me.
Deep links - could you help me understand that a little better? Avoid dynamic looking urls - not sure what this means. Thanks for the help and the quick responses!
dynamic page = www.mysite.com/mypage?article=main&id=3499 static = www.mysite.com/mypage/article/main/3499
Don't focus on your pagerank, its next to useless and it won't increase your serps, traffic, or income.
The only thing that affects PR is the number of links, and the PR of those links, that point at the site.
