If PR matters....
 

www.pornhub.com is #1 in google for "porn" and PR0.. I don't understand, if PR is important.. then why is a PR0 #1 ? ?

its actually a pr5

Ah,
I see..
http://www.smartpagerank.com/result....ww.pornhub.com
This fucking thing must be broken.
I notice that it doesn't show reports from a pile of data centers like it use to

I was thinking that maybe it was because of the sesining or seasoning ... being so old and all

Adult sites just don't go above PR5 except for extreme exceptions, right?

Pornhub is #1 because if their BLACKHAT SEO campaing... but the thing is Google do nothing against them!

smokey where is a page rank checker that actually shows valid page rank?

What blackhat stuff are they doing? It's not like they've been #1 for a day or two...this has been several months now I think.

Try google toolbar, I think they get it from the source :)

Black Hat does not mean temporarily. Often blackhatters will use tossaway domains so you will see them come and go, and often they will use more risky methods, which seals their fate.

But again, Black Hat don't mean it won't last. It all depends what practices and barriers are set in place.

But what I'm asking is what have they done that's considered black hat that has enabled them to stay #1 on Google for one of the most searched words there is? If this question can't be answered, how do we know what they're doing is considered black hat? I mean it seems to me if they've been #1 on Google for so long, Google doesn't see anything wrong with whatever "black hat" stuff they're doing, and black hat SEO methods would generally mean something that Google would not be happy about.

I don't think you will get an answer to how they ranked number 1 for porn. If people other then them knew, they wouldn't be 1st anymore.

All of the PR checkers I have been to are putting it at a PR0
Where can I find a good pagerank checker???

Mr Maxwell, download the google toolbar. Install if on a browser you dont use often, or right on your main one, either way, it will give you current rank.

How come all of the other ones called it PR0 and some call it a PR3?

Are there rogue datacenters fucking off lying to us, or what?

shows pr5 for me, using the SearchStatus FF plugin.

Google toolbar has it at 5...

This site's PageRank may be fake.

I got the google toolbar and I hate it and it wants to phone home..
This would be fucking perfect if it worked with newer firefox.. anyone know if anyone made anything similar? With the PR in the bottom right of the status bar?

Is this what you were talking about, dave?

Are PRs for the site.com and www.site.com sometimes different?

Frequently.

Just did a quick one of these..

link:http://www dot pornhub dot com

They have an ass load of backlinks. A very big ass load. The result you get from that doesn't even do it justice. That goes about 44 pages deep. They probably have double or triple that amount. That's one of the reasons they're #1. Also, they probably have a very low bounce rate. That doesn't hurt either.

Why are you making a fuss dont you look at alexa website they got like 1,300 back links and redtube has over 3,000 backlinks . They maybe also doing something shady as well but that should do em for a pr5 and porn hub is like 8-9 years old.:2 cents:

yes they were insanely aggressive link building for that site. people can bitch but they sinply just out worked the competition.

Hell
:Oh crap

they've got a ridiculous amount of irrelevant backlinks too, they probably outsourced a bunch of third world link building or something (actually they probably do that on a continuing basis).... it would be hard for anyone to catch up even if they tried once they have the aged lead on the competition already, unless google decides to spank them for something (but it seems that google loves them anyways)

Unfortunately she's an old fashion girl that google, she needs to see some love before she fucks you.

it has a PR5 for a long time... check Google toolbar.

the stupidity in this thread is unbelievable.

anything not "organic" by google's terms is blackhat....

age, backlinks, frequency of updates, unfortunately they deserve it.

I see it as a 5 as welll.

www.bigtits.com is PR7 but nowhere in google

go figure.

that "seo guru" who was doing the optimization for them, fucked it up royally

this thread is a prime example of how dumb this industry is.

They've been a pr5 for a long time. PR matters a lot. people misunderstand completely WHY it matters. their sites do well because someone is out there hustling back links day in and day out. he does it on forums, he does it by icq, he's relentless and he doesn't stop. buying links, trading links well etc. thats why a few tube sites are on top for almost every relevant phrase (keez, pornhub, tube8 et al). same people. same guy. same tactics. there is nothing "black hat" about it. very simple methods exercised with fanatical consistency over a period of time.

in the meantime, in 2009 ... 98% of this industry is totally baffled by SEO 101.

what a fucking joke.

there is no such thing as "irrelevant backlinks."

Everything about SEO:

number of one way links

SearchStatus add-on for firefox :thumbsup

considering the success of their link building campaign do you really think google considers those links "irrelevant?"

all these sites belong to the same owner?
