Can anyone tell me why the PR on my business's domain says faked?? It always has and I cannot figure out why??? http://checkpagerank.net/index.php?name=helpmemike.com&links=1
It does Not seem your PR is fake. You can check directly at Google here http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=http://www.helpmemike.com&meta= Your site is the first result so it is real. However, your site is Not well indexed, you may add more indexable text content to the first page of your site. That site where you checked is currently providing incorrect results regarding PR.
Your website used to redirect to Computerclass.net and thats where the pagerank is from. Also your domain is having issues with google as a subpage comes out first for the actual domain. You should try redirecting your non-www version to your www.helpmemike.com that might do some good. Although nothing is certain but your domain isnt totally liked by google right now, this might give it a fresh start. in htaccess Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on rewritecond %{http_host} ^helpmemike.com [nc] rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.helpmemike.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
Your home page has PR 3 and there are very few web sites that place links to yours. Links are not the main factor for a web popularity but they are important because they say if any people find your site useful of not.
