Hey, I just visited one of my sub-domains that publishes articles (advertising, SEO, and marketing) that I created a while back and noticed that 2 of the pages have a PR5 (and others 4)?? I've done basically put no effort in linking to this site as I don't think it's really ready yet (although it is in my sig...). The homepage itself articles.igdb.co.uk, has PR0 so I was wondering what was going on? Any ideas? It's weird because some sites I've put a lot of effort into only have PR4... Thanks
This should be in website reviews section Its basically a google glitch. Some guy went from 0 to 8 with hardly any backlinks...
Oops - sorry about it being in the wrong section! So it's a glitch? Do you reckon they'll fix it sometime soon?
Check out this thread: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=71901 It shouldn't take too long to browse through all the posts.
Actaully it happes a lot of times that a subsite have a higher pagerank than the index(domain page) The reason for this is not just a glitch, but the content on the subsites is better and more optimized. As i was browsing your site i could not find any pagerank 5 sites so i cant give you the anwer beacuse of that. But a common cheating way in SEO is to make dorway sites in the domain like this http://yourdomain.com/maxoptimized.html and optimizing this site perfect. When google find this site it will get i high listening and when people are browsing for they'r content and find your site they will be redirected to your domain or whatever site you want them to see. So they will never see the subsite that has been optimized just the site you want them to see. I guess this has happend to you. Be sure to link from the high pagerank sites to the site you want them to visit and you will get a better pr.
The actual page is this one: http://www.articles.igdb.co.uk/free_advertising_articles.htm That page has PR5 whereas my homepage has PR0. I can't see any other reason for the PR5 than a glitch... What's your opinion?
Dark Hodge - I can't help you with the PR5 glitch however I would recommend (seeing as you posted in the website reviews ) 1. You change your_page_links.htm to your-page-links.htm. Google sees hyphens as dividers in URLs and body text, and ignores underscores (underscore is not considered as a divider by Google). 2. Try a little simple css so you can remove all the FONT tags, etc from your html code (view source). The rule of thumb is that if you find it easy to read, so will the spiders and this *may* help your rankings HTH Stuey
