Clearing up some things about PR and SERP ranking.

Im still so confused :S

good to know

thanks for this great thread, is very useful

SITE 1
sites pr is 1
onsite site seo is well planned...
content is mixed....
backlinks alexa =650
backlinks backlinkwatch = 100

actually backlinks built for this domain are above 100000
all are mixed and non spammy


site 2
site with 16 backlinks personally known
PR 4 no seo work, no onsite seo
not much content

backlinks alexa 16
backlinks backlinkwatch zero
backlin building work none...



ranks better than site 1? and gets more traffic.

site 2 has product name and price
site 1 has product name (proper title) meta tags, product description(copied from company's website) unique reviews as they are posted by users, nice images

site 2
backlink alexa 1
backlink built none
backlinkwatch zero
PR 3
traffic and ranking poor
seo nil


how come these sites without any seo work backlinking get high PR

I manage all three sites.. 2 of them (high PR)
are on windows server
and one on linux

Good stuff, always a nice refresher

I know that PR doesnt matter in the ranking of keywords. But PR plays an important role in building links.

Thanks

Thanks for clarifying this - I've always wondered what the relationship between SERPs and PR was.

Thanks for this tutorial .

Hi There,

PR of site not only deals with number of backlinks but also with quality of your site like design, contents, features included, number of pages, verifications, onsite SEO, etc


I have seen many sites having no backlinks but having good PR because of their concept, designs, low errors etc

You make some good points and the overall purpose of your post is solid, however not completely accurate.All in all a very good explanation - hopefully at least a few people will be brought back down to earth as a result of this.

Thanks for share this algorithums

real useful info, thanks

Great read, thanks for the detailed and easy to read info.

This topic is not cut and dried, but I wouldn't worry too much about your own PR, as it's missing the mark. Create good content and have good content link to you. Enuf said!

I thought this post was great. A lot of useful information.I would like to see another and could you show how PR relates to backlinks and TrustRank? Great post

Thanks for share, good to know

Does this even matter anymore? I think that PR is guaged by more onsite factors than off site factors now a days.

thanks for the clearification between pr and serp .

If one can implement the tips as suggested, there would be a definite increase in PR and SERPs. Find the tips as suggested below.

1. Good On Page Optimization ? Adding targeted keywords relevant to the content in the web page with good search volume, keyword rich titles and description would make the On Page optimized.

Reason, if there is no steady graph of back links has been maintained in building back links, SEbots would recognize the website as a low profile website due to the poor performance. Also, if you?ve added more back links all of a sudden, SEbots would recognize the website as a spammer and penalize the website by dropping the SERPs.

5. RSS Feed Submissions ? Subscribing relevant RSS Feed and submitting it various Feed website once in a week would allow new content to be updated in the website and build more popularity as well. Due to RSS Submissions, SEbots would recognize the website as more user friendly and allot a good rank.

6. Building authorized back links ? Building .edu, .gov, .org etc back links would improve the website?s link popularity and helpful in improving the PR.
