Results 1 - 10 of about 296 for link: http://www.ifyouwas.com. (0.13 seconds) I was wondering why my rival site 203 backlink has a page rank 2 but my site only page rank 0 Can anyone tell me why? Would it be because my backlink is low quality or was it because i use redirect on my index page. From index.html to default.php ( this is a javascript redirect or i should use redirect 301 ?)
Yep, was your site created after PR update? Also, you might have 10,000 backlinks from a very bad source(or banned), you wont get a PR.. If your rival has 200 and a PR 2, that means he has strong backlinks... I hope I'm corrected here? Or?
Might be because no pages with PR link to it, might be because of the quality of backlinks. Might be because it was created after the last PR update. Many different factors... But you should never use a javascript redirect if you want google to be able to spider your site fully...because SE's cant read javascript. Use a 301 redirect without javascript.
Yes, quality of the backlinks can make a big difference for sure.. One PR5 back link could equal 200 PR1 backlinks or realy no comparison actually. Try to get higher quality backlinks if possible. It takes time and work, no doubt. Also why are you redirecting the index.html file to a default.php file.. Why not just make the default.php an index.php and do away with the redirect?
it depends on the quality of links. the pr of the homepage doesn't matter. The pr of the page that the link is on matters.
One of my sites has 10000 backlinks, but it is still PR0. PR depends on many things, like, the quality of backlinks
Are the backlinks naturally added by visitors who find your site interesting or they are paid or auto-added links ? I believe google value links which are naturally added over time than those which are just added in bulk to bring up the numbers for the PR game.
1. Low PR backlink 2. The web page was indexed by Google long ago, but it is recognisedas a supplemental (Supplemental Results) page, 3. The website is banned by Google.
Nice. Your homepage generates a Firefox squeeze page for IE users. Firefox users bypass this... Your domain was created on 3/20/08. You probably did not have any, or very few, backlinks indexed when PR was exported. Keep building links. You may have 2-3 weeks before the PR snapshot is taken. Just a guess, but it coincides with quarterly exports...
Don't get too carried away with the whole backlinks and pr. What you need to focus on is building a solid website that people will find value from. A little link building here and there is okay but don't spend hours doing it. Write your content, submit it to a couple social bookmarking sites and that is about all you need. The reason you need to focus on building good content is pretty simple: When people find content they like they share it. I've tried both tactics (spending hours building links) and writing good solid content and I can tell you hands down writing the content is worth it in the long run.
First thing is the quality of the backlinks and the second one is: You have to make sure you haven't missed the last PR update
Um.. excuse my ignorance but what is a Firefox squeeze? I use Firefox, so when I saw you mention this I checked the page in IE and couldn't notice any difference. Did I miss something? I think you are right there.. will probably do OK this site.. Domain Age: 2 months 3 weeks 5 days... Alexa: 52,379.... From the graph at alexa it looks to be getting 6k a day? averaging 7 or 8 page views per visitor!!? looking pretty darn good for a site under 3 months old Cheers James
When I refer to Firefox squeeze, I mean the page was completely written for/to prompt users to download the Firefox browser. Looks like he removed the redirect. Previously the site would prompt IE users to download and use Firefox. The whole page was about Firefox with a "no thank you continue" type slogan at the bottom of the page. If you viewed the same page with Firefox, you would simply skip the Firefox squeeze. It's was just a basic redirect based on the browser in use, but done so in a way to increase revenue from Firefox. Good, bad, or neutral, it would be a turnoff to IE users...
Thanks for the explanation, I agree it would probably be a turn of having something like that.. Cheers James
Page rank totally dependent on BL's, first of all build quality one way back links with high PR. you will see the change in G TB for your website.
1. You have just 1 backlinks 2. Even your link does not exists in your backlink 3. Possibly PR was updated before getting the backlink
