Now I feel that a PR10 website is obtainable and you will start to see a lot more PR9s. But it doesn't really matter anymore. Now I will have to manualy check back-links via google for link/directory purchases.
I believe I am the only person reporting a PR8 from this update. However it seems to me that because of this suddenly there is complaints about PR being freely given. I don't see that as the case. While I feel fortunate to have a PR8 I don't believe it's easy to obtain. Can anyone else report they got a PR7 or PR8 (must show URL for proof otherwise your bullsheet)?
LOFL, LMAO, ROFL, LOL, OMG, WTF, WTH, LOL, okay buddy. You have 30+ backlinks from Google. Maybe you want to re-state, as to yea PR has become pointless. Chris Hoffman's www.AliveDirectory.com has something in the range of 26,000+ backlinks and is still only a PR4 and one my site that has 2 backlinks from MSN. is a PR3. Something isn't right and you know it. I'm thinking about not uninstalling my google toolbar just to forget about backlinks. But I will give it another week.
LOL HAHA...yeah funny and what's your point? We know that Google does not display all backlinks...especially lately. My question was if PR8 is handed out so freely suddenly then why am I the only person posting a PR8 site? You should consider adding something intelligent to the conversation instead of laughing like a teenage girl.
First off, you are wrong and I am right. Second, I clicked on one of your forums links and it drops back down to a PR5. Suggesting your True PR maybe a PR6; but I have no idea. Google seems like it isn't awake. Third, Your forum only has 87 members what makes your forum better with a PR8 then Digital point who averages more than 87 members online at any given time? Stop thinking that your PR8 will stick and start thinking that PR is pointless. Now somebody should make a toolbar plugin that check's a site's unique backlinks. Fourth; LOL, LMAO, LOFL, ROLF, OMG WTF, WTH are you kidding. Keep posting man you are a good time.
Believe me Pagerank 8 means hundred thousands of backlinks I wish it was for real, just wait for few days, and get ready for the "Oh Google PR System Sucks" days . Best of luck Mate
Dude, guys chill It is just regular Google tweaking, they are probably trying to make it more accurate, they are just testing like anybody else would, trial and error thats how they learn, especially with something so complicated. LaBrocca, no offense guy but I think what nat_king says holds some merit and you are wrong, your site might be great and all that but it is no PR8 Be patient guys, it is just testing. But on the contrary to the some of you I think this kind of prooves that Google is actually trying to make the PageRank number mean something, all the changes the last few months got to be reflecting some effort on their part , I'm looking forward to it when it is smoothed out...
Ok, they testing all thisBS, agreed, but how long, and why different values in different browsers? and what about different datacenters? Why dont they just dump it
PR is NOT a member based ranking so 1 member or 100,000 doesn't effect PR You are not right..you have not even made any statements to be right about. My site is PR8. If you can explain that then great. I also don't state anywhere that I think the PR8 will stick. I think it's a mistake of some sort of a change in the algorithm and I have already stated that. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=778303&postcount=35 I also ask for anyone else with an incredible PR change. If lots of sites got high PR then of course PR will change in its value. However no one has yet to show me a site with the same increase that I have. This leads me to think it could be a PR mistake from Google or a Algo change where relevance is more important. I know all my links are VERY relevent to my site. Even though Google only reports 32 backlinks..I know I have lots more than that. There are toolbars which check a sites backlinks and if you were any decent type of webmaster you would know that. Here is a good one. http://www.tucows.com/preview/388227 No one is more skeptical about the PR8 than I am. However I don't appreciate your condescending tone or attitude toward me. This thread is entitled "PR8....HOW?". You have not explained anything or even hypothesized.
Ohh that is what i means! I'm glad that is clear . BTW, PR8 How?.......... Nobody can explain. So if nobody can explain then it doesn't have any benefit. Thats all.
All we are saying is that This possibly is a PR Bug that will be fixed within few days, dont set high hopes with this, or try selling links for atleast 2 weeks, and yeah I am not into the *Decent Webmasters* List And I think this will clear out all our doubts Google.co.in is PR8 and do you see that? Google shows 1350 backlinks Face the truth now N For the people who are already dreaming for a PR10 see this 1,370,000 backlinks
Excellent...now we know your true nature. Because if you can't explain something then you laugh at it to hide your insecurity. No one can explain how any site is listed #1 in Google SERPs so does this mean there is no benefit? I can't explain an orgasm either but I am pretty sure there is benefit there too. I bet there are lots of things you can't explain and instead you just laugh at them. Most intelligent people investigate but I can understand someone with a low I.Q. simply lauging at stuff they can't comprehend. It's only natural. I already stated this in the first page of this thread that the rank might be a bug. So what truth am I facing? That on the next update it may not be a PR8...DUH! It should be PR 10 by next update. Seriously you guys need to read my thread over again. I am just as doubtful as anyone but here is the truth. It is currently a PR8 on all datacenters I have checked. If you can explain that or help to investigate that great. However pure conjecture doesn't help. What if the algorithm has changed? What if backlinks are not important anymore for a good PR? Have you considered this? What if all these webmasters selling PR links suddenly get tossed on their ass for it? To me backlinks as a PR measurement has been exploited and Google knows it. A change in algorithm is needed imho. If the algo has changed then quite possibly my PR will stick.
Interesting Point, but IMHO its just a minor bug , sad but true, still i hope all my assumptions are wrong and this is no bug, As if it was algo change there would have been much more cases like yours. Just wait n watch and i still consider PR as useless, if it was important then there would have PR updates like page indexes, and not once in 3-4 months.
Damn guys thia has gotten personal, I hope I didn't offend you... The relevancy theory could be possible, but unlikely considering the other sites that have jumped there PR to 5 and 6s by simply buying unrelated links and others with out even this... there has to be some common ground with the sites that have jumped and the ones that have stayed the same... From what I have noticed from my sites is that forums and blogs have poped up while more or less static sites have stayed the same or gone down...anybody else think that google is trying to move the PR number more from a link popularity ranking to some sort of site quality ranking, maybe by putting more emphasis on how much it updates, maybe SEOed (sitemaps and robot), deep linking, linking structure, and anything else that would measure quality instead of simply links to the homepage... What you'll think?
That's why I wanted to know if anyone else has similar results as I do. Everyone I think is hung up on proving my site shouldn't have PR8..fine..I agree but then.. WHY DOES IT???
I have only bought relevant links. I have not even linked this site from my game sites or anything not relevant. IMHO that could mean this site is not penalized at any point. It's very clean and all links look very natural and relevent to google. Matt Cutt also mentioned 'crawlability' being a factor. My site went from 0 indexed pages to 35k indexed in 2 weeks. Every day GoogleBot is on my site taking any pages it can and actually adding them to cache (amazingly).
A question I have for all... How much could you get for a site simply because it is a PR8? Brocca you gonna sell it, while it is a PR8, I would think it has peaked in value?
Buddy please settle down. First of saying I have a low IQ isn't fair or true. You should be banned for that. Secondly Orgasims can be explained, but I don't want to talk about as that is neither the time or the place. Lastly I'am right right again! That it isn't explainable. Because you can't even explain it yourself except that google is playing around with the PRs. In that since they are playing around with everybody's PR. Meaning nobody should take PR seriously. Meaning nobody, except individuals/companies who aren't profit maximising, would be paying for your PR8. BECAUSE it isn't explainable. A Lot of PR8 are explainable, CSMonitor.com for example, it has over 1Million pages index and thousands of backlinks. Probably suggesting that Google credits CSmonitor some weight. Meaning it has benefit. To re-cap PR only has benefit because the site has authority. Your's doesn't it doesn't even rank well for Democracy Forums. Settle down.
The "crawlibility" ... and people say SEO is dead I actually agree with that one of the sites that I have that is like 3 weeks old today got to a PR6 and it also went from 0K to 30K indexed pages in about two weeks, and the actually the SERPS match the PR suprisingly, gets about 300 uniques/day from Google already... Hows your SE traffic is it what you would expect with a PR8? I think basically if Google eats your site up, then you are doing pretty good, and serps will follow, relevant links are just to get and keep bots coming...
