Google Won't Give Me PR?

[Steven Myers]

My site has been up and running for about a month, it's indexed on google, alexa, etc etc, I've done link popularity check and EVERY engine has my link, except for, the one and only, google.com

I did a search for link2geeks and my link is there, but apparently they won't give me PR, is there something I am missing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Optimit]

Google only does PR updates about every 3 to 4 months. You will have to wait until the next one.

[Steven Myers]

Thank you for the reply Optimit, really appreciate it :)

Based on a few predicts...you don't even have a predicted page rank yet. You way want to get busy with your seo before you miss the next google update within a month to a month and a half.

I can see you are listed in Google, but when I ran a page rank prediction for you on http://www.iwebtool.com/pagerank_prediction it says it cannot determine you? If you need some help I know a man who can help and he has got my newbie a predicted update to a PR6 which although not brilliant is not bad.

p.m me if you want some advice, the advice won't cost nothing, the methods might though, but that will be your choice.

Good luck..

Yo should ignore those pagerank pedictors. They are absolutely meaningless, and cannot possibly predict pagerank. The best thing you can do for yourself is to get backlinks and add content.

Agreed. 100%

[Steven Myers]

Ok, I'll stick with that method then Optimit :D Thanks for the help and advise
Kevuk2k, but I've been in advertising for 4 years now, and just now finally getting into PR, so we'll see what happens in the next month.

I am averageing about 110+ unique hits a day, only because we' fresh on the net for a week a 8 days, so time will tell in a month.

Alexa is ranking us at 1,714,941. (http://www.checkpagerank.com/alexa/www.link2geeks.net) but that again, what Optimit said, Content visible to registered users only.

Which again, is true and will follow that to keep my head up high to keep on truckin with advertising for the next launch of our new products and services for Link2Geeks.net

Thanks again guys, the information was very useful :)

[anon]

Alexa is the greatest joke of all, to be quite honest with you.

[Brandon Sheley]

yup, alexa and PR are both nice to havem but they really don't mean anything.. just work on SEO and getting backlinks are you'll be fine ;)

[Steven Myers]

The SEO is a huge thing that I have been focusing on, a lot of guys in my advertising group are giving me the same advice you guys are doing right now.

They provided me a link to really apply my site to the top directories, so far I submitted to the top 10 sites that are on that directory site, and a few behind them to see what happens, let me know what you guys think about it.

http://www.topdirectories.info/ - http://www.snurff.com/ - http://top.seo-links.org/

Thanks guys, it's nice to have a few good friends on the net to lead you in the right direction :)

feel free to submit to my site ranktips.com and my directory list @ ranktips.com/directory-list

and to agree with everyone else, pagerank prediction tools are completely bogus. there is NO way to guess future pagerank

[Steven Myers]

Thank you bobby! Both sites have been submitted to :) and yes, I think PR is way over rated, it won't serve any purpose in the near future. That's just my 2 cents worth :)

Sorry my offer of help was no good, it was only a gesture just in case others never answered. I could boast of being in Marketing for 22 years both on and offline but hey that would be giving my age away '-) I'm no epxert in PR Prediction to either dismiss it or praise it, same with Alexa, I just know someone who is and as he uses this forum he would have been ideal for you. I only invited you to pm me because there are posts about apparent know it alls' on this site and the amounts of money they try to charge etc so I didn't want to be seen to be doing the same as my advice is ALWAYS free and by referring you to another member who may or may not have charged you wasn't the path I wanted to go down.

Anyway, you seem to have had your mind put at ease now so as irrelevant as PR Prediction is you'll still keep checkin I bet :-) Good luck with your ventures, and remember, 4 years or 22 years, you will NEVER stop learning new tequniques.

Take care,

Kev

Amen brother

[Steven Myers]

hehe, yeah, you deffinently got me beat my friend :D

My apologies if I came across harsh in your offer, didn't know it ran that way if it did. :( also, 22 years, I assume you have seen a wide change in marketing and advertising and know the engines inside out by now ;)

I learn really fast when it comes to advertising and where to advertise at and how affective it will be in the outcome of the link placement and also word of mouth. Hopefully I myself will learn new strong advertisement skills to benefit my online business as well, and hopefully be able to teach others as I reach...well, your 22 years at the age you are right now and enjoy helping others succeed, just as I will in my future with this site and the others (hopefully this one will do some great deeds for others in their time for looking to get fast results in advertising just as I have for my business) :)

Thanks for the post, deffinently showed me a better view of different aspects of the net, even though I've been on it since I was 12, still not long enough ;)

lol, no problems, I wish you well mate. I always use the analogy of the High street with PR. In that a shop that is in the back streets is less likely to make a sale than one in the High street unless it is a niche market where the customer will then seek you as opposed to you looking for them, the way I viw it, and its only a view, is that if a site has a high PR it is akin to putting it in the High street where sales are more likely! Does that make sense?

Anyway, you have fun learning, and seriously if there is ever anything I can do for you that helps I will, the one thing you will get from me is a straight answer that if I don't know something I will try and find a man or woman who does!

All the best.

Kev, I surely hope you are not implying anything about my advice. It IS a well known fact in the webmaster world that PR prediction sites are only used as a novelty, and cannot be taken seriously.

As for members here charging members for help, I don't think I have fallen into that category either. As best as I can recall, I have never charged another member here for help, and that includes the many hours I have spent working one on one with so many people here.

Can you please clarify these 'members charging members' remark.

I am unsure as to whether you are refering to people such as Optimiz and myself who offer services. And yes we charge, because templates dont grow on trees, and yea, im sure you can catch a sucker every now and then. However, Opti nor I are not the ones to get suckered.

And even so, i guess it would be a real slap in MY face, knowing i am working on a FREE 3.041 template, but with a post such as yours regarding charging for services, how exactly am i suppose to take that?

Also, I may not know it all, but ebonically speaking: 'I know my **censored****censored****censored****censored**' ;)

Hi Optimit,

There was no personal attack on you or anyone for that matter, I think that we are all entitled to an opinion and after reading these posts I decided to look into the merits or lack of them if any of the PR Predictor. I think you will also note I made a joke about people still looking at their alleged PR even if it meant nothing, so in reality I was backing you?

As for charging, no way, I would NEVER put you into that category, how can I? As you said, you have offered an aweful lot of help here and to my knowledge you have never charged so would not be qualified to comment even if I wanted to. Your one of the good guys as I see it and make this forum what it is period.

If I was going to make a personal attack mate, I would but have the mind not to as it isn't merited. Dissapointed that you might have thought that way but take my assurance that Optimit is a good guy admired and respected by many, including me.

[Optimit]

Thanks for the clarification and the good words Kev. Had me kind of worried for a bit, but no problems.:D:D:D:D
