Why Google itself has PR8 and not PR10?

So why are we as directory owners worried about backlinks? and directory submission?

is it worth doing it?

 

I guess Google is just making a point that they are not cheating in their own system. PR are determined by backlinks

 

If PR is determined by backlinks, what about these?

http://slashdot.org/ PR9 has 0 backlinks from iwebtools

http://www.google.co.uk PR8 has Total Backlinks: 104,030 from iwebtools.

www.stumbleupon.com/ PR8 has 0 Back links


Is this why google targeting directories and links from directories to be cheating to increase PR of a site?

 

Google made PR that doesn't mean they can give PR10 to all their sites..

The system does fair ratings.

 

Because "little g" is a pillar of honesty and would never rank their own site higher than it deserves according to their own algorithm... or is it spelled "alporithm"... I get confused sometimes.

 

the reason the others turn up with no backlinks is because iwebtools is a krappy tool! it shows 0 backlinks for some sites...

use this tool, its accurate: http://www.validrank.com/pages/backlinks-checker.php?

 

Are your sure slashdot has 0 backlink..? Try check here http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&q=link:http://slashdot.org/

 

I think the problem is not that these site dose have any backlink. The main problem is the backlink checking tools. slashdot.org and stumbleupon.com have millions of back link.

 

It's quite fair and natural.

 

hi

but www.google.com is PR 10

 

First, Google use different domain for each country.

Second, check following link analysis.

link:http://www.slashdot.org/ backlinks: 141,000

http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&q=link:http://www.slashdot.org/&btnG=Search&meta=

link:www.stumbleupon.com backlinks: 117,000

http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&q=link:www.stumbleupon.com/&btnG=Search&meta=


link:www.google.co.uk/ backlinks: 10,900
http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&q=link:www.google.co.uk&btnG=Search&meta=

The answer is very simple they doesn’t have enough backlinks.

 

go to google.com and type in search engine , they ont appearon the first tn , they list ogpile and latvista as more relevent for the search term "search engine" than themselves !
LOL

PAul

 

Look here

1. back links to slashdot
2. back links to stumbleupon
   
   I depend on yahoo for backlink checks

 

Does this mean any Google site or for that matter even Yahoo! or MSN (for other countries) could have a different ranking?

http://www.google.com.eg/ Google Egypt - PR 7

http://www.google.com.pk/ Google Pakistan - PR 8

http://www.google.com.in/ Google India - PR 8 again....

any indications? is it regional-specific?

 

Well sometimes to me it shows PR9 sometimes PR10
Depends on datacentre you're querying

 

The tool you're using is not showing the correct count of backlinks. Case in point:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=link:www.stumbleupon.com&btnG=Google+Search

Google shows that stumbleupon.com has about 117,000 backlinks. Yahoo shows almost 5 million backlinks for stumbleupon.com:

https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.c...leupon.com&bwm=p&bwms=p&searchbwm=Explore+URL

 

They can even have PR20, if they want to. They control the page rank.

 

google doesnt have content and it follows it own alg, blogger is 10 tho

 

Google are the one who made the PR but they are not exempted for that system. Their system gives a fair result to all.

 

dont trust iwebtool tools.

http://slashdot.org/ has over 18 millions of backlinks
