The PR shows valid if you check with most of the fake PR checking tools. But you are right a site created after the PR update can not get a PR5. But what if it was a deleted domain? The domain had PR5 originally and the previous owner did not renew it. Once it was deletd after the last PR update, the new owner grabbed it and is selling the links. I think that is the case with widgetopians. (I could be wrong though ) My guess is that, the pagerank of the site will drop during the next PR update unless the new owner of the domain is seriously concentrating on building backlinks.
DMoz - Post and forget Yahoo - Pay them. It's worth it. and Directories. I'm a big fan of directories. Go ahead and submit to 3,000 directories. Most of the links will be discounted but some won't. That's it. Now you know the "secret" to increasing your PR. As long as you keep adding quality PR3+ backlinks to your site on a daily basis, your GPR will keep increasing.
It is not Old domain. Plz check it out with http://www.archive.org/web/web.php This gives the history of your domain...
Yes, your strategy is similar to what I do oftentimes. However, the interesting question is how a specific site went from PR0 to PR5 in 3 weeks. No good links, no nothing. I think it's fake PR. For the record, some time ago, I was checking out the new IBP. Axandra, the creators of IBP had a PR of 9 for no good reason. I reckoned it's a fake PR, and the next Google PR update gave them PR5, and also Google stopped showing any backlinks for them. Something like this is gonna happen to the site under discussion, I think. BTW, it's not that toolbar PR is of real importance This discussion is more like an exercise for the mind for me Warkot
1.Old Domain Names 2.Quality Link Backs from pr4+ pages. 3.More and more back links. 4.High Daily Traffic 5.Good Alexa Ranking( which proves it) Just some of the things may be. And yes, getting good content too
Yep, I also thought they might have bought a domain that had PR already... However, I checked that assumption using Domain history records (http://domain-history.domaintools.com/?q=widgetopians.com&page=results), which indeed showed 6 previous records... ...But, e.g. WayBack Machine doesn't know anything about the site. Also, if that were a previously existent domain, what happened to the links and anchors to it? Some of the backlinks that supposedly had given the PR5 should be visible now... but they are not. Warkot
Traffic is neither the cause, nor the effect of PageRank. This makes no sense. Same applies for Alexa. Warkot
If wayback machine is not giving any info about domain history, will anybody willing to share how to find the domain history of this site? I'm still under siixes and sevens about this site...
Sure, try http://domain-history.domaintools.com/. This will show you the domain records history for a specific domain. Hope this helps, Warkot
having a link on that page is a waste of money... if he kept his outlinks to 50 outlinks, each outlink would receive an automatic PR3. However with 200 links it would hardly give you anything
I've gotten an interior page to go from PR1 to PR 5 with just one PR 5 blog pointing to it. This page is actually higher than the domain is, that is only a PR3 Looks like one good link can make the difference
http://www.bandsaw-blades.com/ http://www.bandsaw-blades.com/BandSawBladeTips.htm The PR3 on the domain is probably outdated by now, I have added quite a few links. However you can still see that there is only one outside site linking to the tips page
This is correct. Though they do not have to be site wides. You just need three links from 3 PR6 quality content pages with few other outgoing links on them. Notting
This just proves how PR is useless, where you prefer to get listed: A directory with pr5 with 3 unrelated sitewides point at it or a PR4 with 500 related pr2 and pr3 links point at it, I would prefer the second.
The Page Rank Would Not Drop in some of the cases when conserned with previous domain. I had got a deleted blogspot blog with luckly PR 5. I had not noticed this for few months and had not developed.. It did not show backlinks just at the time it was created ... but after few months it got the backlinks back and retained the pr still. this is even after 3 PR updates.. Summary : some times deleted domains retains PR ... if the domain is developed then sure it will not drop hugely from high to low PR
