Hello, All of you know that Google updated PageRank at the new year. However, my 1 month old website has moved from PR0 to PR3. Well, if you visit the main page in my website, you will see that I have a PR3 for the homepage, check the following: http://logowish.net/Default.aspx I used the same page name for all the gallery, but when I created the site, I used query strings for paging (This isn't wordpress, it's an asp.net site developed by me). Now, try to go to another page like: http://logowish.net/Default.aspx?Page=3 As you can see, this page has a PR3 too... keep going deeper in the pages, you will keep seing that I get a PR3 for all of them! I have checked several websites online that have querystrings for some pages, and the PR varies between each of them, and the deeper you go, the less PR you will incounter in general. Google doesn't index the Default.aspx page only, but it also index every page in the gallery that has a query string as a seperate page. you can see this by typing the following in Google: site:www.logowish.net I consulted an SEO specialist, and he was surprised to seeing this, but had no answer. My question to you, does it mean that all the sites that are submitted to the gallery, will have a permanent PR3 link? I am afraid to smile, but if it isn't a mistake from Google, then I should be so happy ( even though I am not the kind of people who are in love with PR, but you already know that many people do! ) Do you have any idea about what is happening on my website? Best regards, Wassim
It looks like google it's treating all the other pages as the Default page. If all of them are indexed in google, under diferent pages that's even better because you can squeeze as many pages as you want of PR. But absolutely the best way to test it is to create a new Page=xx and see if it still get's the PR. If it gets it and it get's indexed you are Game for playing a tittle bit with Google.
I don't think the pr will stay I had this happen on a site about 6 months ago. It lasted for about 30 days then just went away for no apparent reason? I guess it was just a google fluke
Not such thing has google fluke, if it happened it had a reason for it to be so. Maybe you lost backlinks, maybe some backlinks lost PR...
Hi, what you say makes sense, and it was the first thing I thought about when I noticed it. However the process of page creation is completely automated, therefore, the more logos I add to the gallery, the more pages will be created and later on indexed by Google.
Well in that case what can I say... Make more logos that's the only way to try it out, just one more page would be enough for it. Just make me a favor and test that out, once you have the results please take the time to PM me with the findings.
That is interesting. yes, it seems like google is giving a high pagerank to all of your pages which is unusual unless all of your other pages has quality links pointing to them. Fingers crossed that the pr stays for you.
I think you page is being generated dynamically, and by that I mean it's not static and the content is being loaded in instances, not like plain old html where you have that page just with that info on it. ... The thing is, now you need to play it to see if you can squeeze some PR from those pages back to another one of your pages, like the about uspage http://logowish.net/About_Logo_Wish.aspx Try to load a Do Follow link for it just before the footer, wait a couple of weeks and see if it passed any PR to your About us page. Oh and make sure the link it's not on the Footer file, create another segment just with the link and load it just before the footer.
Dude, it's showing the PR of your Default.aspx page and different parameters after the ? char won't be considered though
I definitely won't consider monetizing this! I prefer to keep things as they are now, but it will be great if I figure out it is real. Having said so, this will encourage more people to submit their logos and win a backlink, so I will try to avoid accepting the logos on the fly (since I got tons of them yesterday!). Thanks
That's great news but pr is so inaccurate you never know what will happen to your pr at the next update.
Your inner pages' PR will be down in next PR update. I experienced it Lots of PR5 pages on my blog is down to PR4 and PR3 LOL
