I have been stuck at pagerank of 3 for over a year and my traffic is stuck at a certain level and it is stuck there. I have 3,247 backlinks. Is not enough for increased traffic and pagerank?
It all depends on the content of your site and what niche it’s in. I agree with Bigcat1967, make sure you sites content is unique and up to date. Also out of those 3,247 backlinks, how many are from sites with a higher pagerank than 3? The higher the pagerank of the site your link is on, the higher your websites pagerank will be.
You need to increase your links from authoritive sites in your field. Try to get links from sites that are PR3 and up only. That is the best way to increase your pagerank. Also, Keep adding great content to your website and promote it via twitter and facebook. Good luck!
I have found great content and same niche links are better at increasing rankings and simply a PR number.
take your time keep building. i'm over 10k backlinks and trying to rank for fourm and boards tough to do. I'm finally starting to see nice traffic over 60 a day and growing.
3247 links are too low for an established website. Even if you do nothing but forum participation, you can easily get 1000 backlinks in a month.
Get a professional SEO report done up to show you where you can improve. Build links on high traffic websites where people actually visit. Enter the Social networking market, that's where most people are online these days. Simply building backlinks doesn't bring people to your site, most backlinks people build are rarely ever clicked by anyone.
When you say "My site has X backlinks" Are you counting _all_ backlinks of any kind? Are you counting Google indexed backlinks? Google doesn't count links it finds on blacklisted websites, on FFA websites, or anything else like that. It won't count as a backlink towards your PR unless Google really considers it a backlink, and they are picky and tricky when it comes to links.
Pagerank means absolutely nothing. Would you rather have a pagerank of zero and ten thousand visitors a day, or a PR10 and no visitors? Build traffic through social bookmarking and sharing interesting content from your site, build traffic and think about people, not links or PR.
