Hello, why would the big G rank this site second? Only one page indexed by google, PR2, AND few backlinks. the url is mobilephonetrace dot com....... keyword mobile phone tracking, mobile phone tracker thanks.
Maybe because its 3 years old .PR is not based just on backlinks there is alot of other factors (domain age- site update..)
Hello thanks for replying. Isn't PR just based on backlinks, also if this site updates regularly, how come google just index the homepage. As to the age of domain, our domain was registered in 2003, check it here, but we do not rank well on any keyword.
It has more to do with the quality of the inbound links than anything. I've had one link give me a boost from #84 to the top 3 on a very, very competitive keyword for a client. If you can find it, Rand at seomoz did a whiteboard friday that explained authority and how you want to be as "close" to authority hubs as possible. There's also relevance. If the sites linked from are also ranking high for similar terms the site linked to will rank high. Forget about PR it's really not indicative of much and hasn't been for a few years.
Isn't PR just based on backlinks, also if this site updates regularly, how come google just index the homepage. - For some reason, Google limits showing backlinks they've indexed for almost all sites. Surely there are few more and Google doesn't show them all to the public. Isn't PR just based on backlinks, also if this site updates regularly, how come google just index the homepage. - I think PR is entirely about backlinks, surely there are some factors like content of the site/page, quality of backlinks, etc., besides its Pagerank, the importance of the page. As to the age of domain, our domain was registered in 2003, check it here, but we do not rank well on any keyword. - Google gone through thousands of algorithm update, criteria for ranking are changing. Have you heard any site out there that is stably ranking or have fix high PR suddenly loss even without doing anything? It's obviously G algo changes that the factors that those sites have excelled in G from the past suddenly loss or not much important anymore resulting to loss in rankings.
Dude, thanks for the long reply, but could you please analyze that website and tell me why it ranks so well? Thanks. Regards
I see many of my competitors that has few backlinks and yet they are in the 1st page for that keyword. When I check their site I see many factors that makes that website in the 1st page. Some of this are the age of the domain and all her backlinks are all high PR and high traffic websites which can give some boost on SERP's
