WTF does Google PR really mean????
 

Anyone have the time to explain to me the significance of PR ratings? I have many sites that are 6 and some 8, but what exactly does it mean?

It's a meter of "importance". It's a logrithmic scale of how "good" your site is compared to every other site on the web. Each time you link out to someone, a part of their PR is duplicated and added on yours. When it's all averaged out you get the number based on what range your site falls into.

PR means PageRank ... that easy.

Does the PR play a big role in SE searches?

its google's internal ranking system for sites hon.

it does NOT mean you must have a high PR to get a good google listing as some 'think they knows' say
its only one small piece of the whole pie they use to calculate :)

thats the simple answer lol

Ok this explains why I have so many sites with high PR's. I link to my own sites on my sites. So as a group they feed each others PR rating I take it. Even my trade signup pages have PR's of 6. Wierd.

notthat many sites have a pr8. thats at a big level. yahoo is an occational 9.

For more competative terms, it seems to play a big role. It's more important that the anchor text of your inbound links be relevant to the content of your site. The content of course factors in keyword density, etc. When it comes to optimizing it's easy to get a #1 spot on a specific not competitive keywords, I get tons of them regularly. When there's 50 other sites optimized just as good as yours PR and luck become huge factors.

Yeah, there's actually a formula you can use to figure out how much PR each page on your site will end up with based on your internal linking structure. It's not exact but when repeated alot of times it's very accurate. A PR8 is very high and will pass ALOT of PR to reciprocal links. Remember it's lothricmic so a PR8 can be considered roughly twice as good as a PR7 and so on(so alot of people believe, me being one of them).

That's what I thought, I keep seeing higher and higher PR on my sites and I don't understand why. http://www.chokinchicken.com/404.shtml is a 8
http://www.chokinchicken.com/ is a 8
even chickenboard is a 7
No idea why unless it is the way I link to all my sites on each other

not necessarily
i have some of the top listings for some VERY competitive terms and don't have more than a 4 or 5 on those domains ... i'm just better at it than most I guess ;)

The higher the PR the higher your cock size is

ur sites are pr 5's over here. maybe is my google toolbar.

:eek7

A PR 8 404 page...
Now I seen it all!

Well your SEO is alot better than the other 50 sites :thumbsup

PR4 makes Juicy have little cock. :warning

it's your toolbar... registers as 8 for me which makes sense for the site's inbound links...

WG

oh F U N N Y

wonder if worldsex and pk know they are in the loosing end of 49 sites

After looking under your hood I can see why, Or rather understand why now.

Nice one.

Yep wierd, sometimes they are 5 but usualy 8's. Maybe google is having problems?

Do you link directly to your 404 page? That seems odd that a 404 page gets linked enough to be a PR8.

No, but I send all 404 and directory snoopers from 16 servers to that one page.

i think this page just got a pr1 for the url's that choker posted. lol

I think I need to hire someone to optimize my sites for SE's and get higher listings. I have totally ignored this and need to do it. Any suggestions who is good and affordable to do this?

Actually this thread is a PR 1

wait it out until this google update is over.. it has some very odd results lately.

That's the thing, I don't really get how it ended up being spidered let alone get such a big PR boost. Either google is following location headers(which I thought was untrue) or the toolbar is just fucking with you. It's my understanding that sometimes it BS's PR on the toolbar based on similar pages on the sites importance. Like I always thought the GFY threads weren't really PR1, it's just because it's a dynamic page and GFY itself has good PR. How could each individual thread be instantly spidered and indexed?

I remember searching for some casino traffic on google a week or 2 ago with a VERY broad term like "site traffic" or something like that and chickentraffic was #1. Now I can't find it under any of those terms. It should be good after the update.

hmmm, is it possible that google spiders htaccess files?

I have theory that google will not stop what it is curently doing.

Ya might consider beginning to use a robots.txt file.

If I were you I'd wait a short time
google has been running a programming competition
that usually means algorythm tweaks
I'm thinking they are taking into account the blog results but thats just a hunch.


if you want some tips on what questions to ask someone you are thinking of hiring ... you can hit my icq

BTW I only do mainstream SEO projects (then I don't have to compete with myself), so no need to worry .. I won't be slamming you for work

i hope ur wrong.

I meant cold measurements , without WOOD

K, noob here, how do you determine goole pr?

get the google toolbar.

theres also some scripts out there that can determine it on various programming sites.

I don't want to but I have to say you are missing out on a shit load of traffic.It would take nothing but a few gaps in your words to start dominating the serps like link-o-rama.
Whoever you hire will make easy money.
