I have a website related to Orkut softwares. Obviously, i have an orkut community as well for the same, i also do get many clicks and visits to my site from that community. But i dont really get any benefit in terms of backlinks and PR?? i think Orkut must be having a good PR??
Orkut must be having a good PR, but your communities are not available for crawlers to crawl, I guess it's a members only area and you wont be given and backlink credit. I could be wrong but play around searching for the robots.txt file to see what locations are not allowed for crawlers to crawl. Good luck
hmmmmm.......... thnx 4 replying.... evn i gave it a thought... but still.... couldnt be very sure about it!! btw, can you tell me something more about the robot.txt file??
if any of the page is only for members means can be accessible with username/password, googlebot ignores those pages. Simple as that. so the links are uselss, forget PR but then dont even give a backlink credit. however it can be useful for traffic.
