Weird Google pagerank

    I only submitted to a few directories, only links I put out were to the top of the site, no deeplinking at all.

    For some reason the site got a PR2 index page, and all but one of the next level directories all go PR 3 and one got a PR2

    Wonder why?

    Oh yea, Funny Jokes is the site.

    I'm seeing this on newer sites, seems they do not give full credit for the links right away.

    I saw a lot of that with this last update. Several homepages of new sites received a PR4 with inner pages getting a PR5 and there are no external links point to the inner pages.

    I got a PR5 on a brand new site that had no links that I know of, and I seriously doubt there were any since the only text on the page is "coming soon." I even checked to see if the domain had previously been registered, and it hadn't.

    How old was your site? Mine is about two months old and it still doesn't have a pagerank. It just got listed with Google about 2 weeks ago though.

    check your meta tags

    ===> <META NAME="description" CONTENT=" and thousands of other free jokes, riddles, videos, movies, flash, games and much more">

    its starting with stop word.
    i think this is why google not found useful content on your home page. while other pages looks better meta tags nad contents.

    Yea I made a mistake when building the php includes files, and put the meta information in the header instead of the content files. I build 1000 pages before I realized my mistake, so I scrambled to find a way for a quick fix until I found time to fix it right... so I used some php code in the header to put the name of the content file as the first part of the title. It's better than nothing, until I fix it. I probably won't fix it until it's close to getting out of the sandbox in a few months.

    It was registered on July 13, 2005, but I have no idea of when it was indexed. I try to look at least 6 months ahead and register domains I intend to develop so the domain isn't brand new and will hopefully escape the sandbox. I usually put some content on the homepage, but I had forgotten to do so in this case.

    Do a link search, some kind person has probably posted a deep link that you havent found yet. do a linkdomain:www.yoursite.com in yahoo and you will probably get to the bottom of it!

    I know how to do link searches. The only link yahoo shows is the site itself.
    Nothing on google or MSN either. It's just a PR fluke.

    This trend has been noticed by many people in this (19th Oct) google update and has been reported on many webmaster forums. I didn't find any reason for this as of now.
