hi guys , i m doing some experiments from last 2 months ,well i got page rank 1 at blankpage site and parked domain. so according to known methods we use to check back links by google like link:www.domain.com so i checked some sites with this method , if its shows 119 sites is linking to searched site which has pr4 or pr3 ,we can says its normal but if it shows like 3 sites is linking to searched site and google toolbar shows pr4 who ill believe ? i searched more than 50 sites ( randomly ) results are amazing like pr3 : site linking 3 or 2 or 5 or 6 or 9 pr2 :site linking 2 or 1 or 4 Pr1 : site linking 1 it just happen with which has rank below than 5 , means upto 4 plz note my toolbar is updated now case of my one site , i submit manually my site to more than 500 directories and bookmarking sites got pr2 in less than 40 days but google shows only 3 sites linking to it ,one of them is also a page of my site means total 2 what you think about it ? is it that easy to get page rank by linking just some 100 sites or 2-3 sites why google not showing back links from other sites/directories( specially directories ) ? or google have a big list of all directories , and its not considering back links from directories ? means all directories are blacklisted i think directory submission is just waste of time , in future search engines will never count back links from directories plz dont ask about sites i search just pick 20 new sites which hv pr 1 to pr4 , i suggest you to just do it first and then reply. anyone have anyidea about it ,big question is about directories dark69
