Some of my 200 domains now starting to come to age and have gone to PR4 with me doing nothing actully. As i understand sitewide thats when all the pages have the link like in the menu? What if i created a new page lets say www.mydomain.com/best-sms-help.php Will that path also have PR4 and can i sell link there as well? Or is it only the www.mydomain.com that has a PR4?
Each page has its own personal Page Rank. If you want to guage a rough idea of what the page rank for the page is - install the Google Toolbar. Remember that the toolbar report runs several months behind the live data though.
You will need to link your new pages from a site map or from your home page, or other section pages. PR will be assigned to the new pages in the next PR update. Usually, a page which is 1 level deep will have a PR value of 1 less than the home page (in your case, if you have a PR 4 home page, your new page will be assigned PR3)
I'm talking about a standard site map here This site map will help with Google and other search engines also. This sitemap is needed so that each page is linked from 2 clicks from the home page. (by linking your sitemap directly from your home page and then linking to all the pages of the site from the sitemap) This will help search engines to spider pages deep in the directory structure. Ideally you should have both if you are serious about getting all the pages indexed in search engines.
There are lots of sitemap programs, some free, some paid.. my experience is that they are all ok to get you started but in the end they will still need your input to make them perfect.
i looked in google but all i get is google sitemap scripts. Not the normal one, should i put that as www.domain.com/sitemap or it does not matter?
Hi Yellowberry You can download XENU Link Sleuth and run it for your site. It will help you identify a lot of errors and broken links on your site also. The report it generates in the end is a useful report and gives a list of all the spiderable URLs in your website. If you want, you can simply extract that part from the html file (it will be near the end of the report) and add it to your site as a sitemap. Of course, you will need to update it if you regularly add more pages to your site. Also, if you have a small site, (10 - 20) paged site, you can always make a sitemap manually. But if you have a big site, its better to use some software or tool. And if you have a dynamic site, which is being populated from a DB, you can generate a sitemap according to your linkings by extracting data from the DB directly.
