    Hey Man!

    I just wanted to say thanks for the awesome tip. I never thought that this would have much of an affect.

    Have you read ABC of SEO by anychance. It's an alright book - point is, it actually has a section on Page Rank with a formula of how the numbers work. I don't know if you've read it, but it seems pretty interesting.

    Thanks again!

    As long as you're on a roll mad4:

    www . usnetizen . com/ = PR4
    www . .com/usnetizen_support/index.html = PR5
    www . .com/usnetizen_support/internet_connection/index.html = PR5
    www . .com/usnetizen_support/email/index.html = PR5
    Most of the other inside pages are PR3 or less as I would expect.

    You use an iframe for your header and main navigation menu :eek: this is very bad. Remove the iframe straight away.

    The search engines can't recognise the menu and are not finding links from your internal pages to your homepage so they can't pass the PR back to the homepage.

    Thanks mad4!

    That was left over from two years ago when I designed it. I'll look through the whole site to eliminate any other iframes, too.

    You may as well take the contents of the iframe and stick it in a server side include. That way you keep the flexibility of using 1 file for your site wide menu.
