They all support each and every other page. Usually, with a plain website, a single page usually just links back to the main page.

That's why blogs are so good for companies: they rank WAAAAY higher in searches than plain old websites, because they're typically updated several times a week instead of once a year or so.

Allow a small boast; only blogging since the second-last day of February and I've got a PR of 6, not that yesterday I knew what that meant.

Blog has outgoing links and long-content, but not even twenty posts. Though not posting much, I've been checking it for two weeks (in-between dealing with a car fire), and yup, I'm happy, sorta, but mystified: Name of the blog shows up seventh on the first page of 83,000 results for the name. Geeze Lueeze, the thing is only a few weeks old yet: PR is 5. --It's higher than a record company with same name??? How is this possible? It gets traffic, every day, but not amount I’d care to share. (If it matters: my passion is politics, media, so far; I revel in afflicting the comfortable. Both are heavily-covered topics, so adds to the mystery.)

I have another blog of nearly 100 long-content posts, comments, quality links --out and a few in, gets spidered/cached regularly; I post on others' blogs, yet after nearly 3/4 of a year: PR 1. I'm not complaining, I was Thrilled to get Ranked at all and under a year. After all the work of first blog, any ideas how it happened for the second one? Is it a mistake? Will it disappear? If I get a link IN: will it go to PR 6? (!) Will five quality in-coming links get me a PR Ten? (lol) If so: I'm offering a buck a link, cash money! Anyone care to link me up?

http://kpremixed.wordpress.com - PR4 on 2 links
http://drmike.wordpress.com - PR5 on 25 links(That's surprising since the links are pretty much gone)
http://pimpmyblog.wordpress.com - PR0 with zero links(It's too new.)

Now this is strange:

http://kpscreencaps.tdjc.be - PR5 on 3 links and a robot.txt file that doesn't allow indexing.

Gotta admit that I'm surprised that tdjc.be only got a PR4. Has a large number of number 1 results for certain terms above higher ranked sites. Maybe that's an example of how Google is moving away from Page Rank. *shrug*

You can check your Google Page Ranks here and your inbound links here.

If anyone is stuck, please just list your blog(s) and I'm sure someone can do it for you. :)

Yes but don't confuse PR updates with site updates. My site is crawled and re-indexed every couple of days looking for new content by googlebot. New content is picked up and indexed regardless of their PR updates. Add pages and check to see if the pages are indexed, that will show you that you are being crawled.

Do remember that all those pages in the Tag listings also link back to your own site. :)

Some tags might be the names of the species of trees (both common and scientific) - related common phrases like cut blocks - forest rejuvenation - natural regeneration - sustainble forestry resources - forest management - forestry innovation - land management - zoning yada, yada
By going to the forestry company websites you can find their propaganda and isolate the "key words" of the day. Just a thought - for what it's worth. :)

Edit: The importance of using a broad array of category tags cannot be minimized. If one is looking to connect the likelihood of doing so is raised by the number of connection ports (ie. tags) we create. IMO most people do not really spend enough time and effort on creating tags ... hmmm ... me included ... off to do.

Absolutely, thats why I left it 4+ months before checking again :) I think its ok to check every 4 months without being driven mad :)

Must have gotten a hundred hits a day on that alone. Needless to say, those visitors didn't hang around much after that. :(

Currently have the number 4 listing for what would you do for a klondike without trying. :)

One of the last updates (Big Daddy I think they called it) is being said to have issues within the SEO community. A lot of websites still don't have public page ranks but they do have internal ones. It also seems like Google is trying to get away from using Page Ranks to determine listings.

It isn't hard to have post titles or user name come up number one. I got my first comment today; and I sometimes get hits in double figures. Page rank isnt really on my agenda. I'd better go and find what I was looking for: How to link to someones category (not one particular post, nor the whole blog).

I am number one with a google search if you just type in 'living journey' and number one with yahoo and I think around third with msn.. So I figure that I must be doing something right.

Just keep linking to other people posts as well as your own and blog away!

Per that, we've not had a Page Rank update in over three months. We just had an update recently but it appears to have had issues. (Called a "broken update" in SEO terms and we've had a number of them recently.) My sites didn't get updated either.

The public output of Google doesn't display links until you have a Public Page Rank. For example:

My current Blog which still has a PR of 0.
My old blog which is now my test blog which still has a PR5 attached to it.

Google Blog Search is entirely different and seperate from the normal Google datacenters. It just reads RSS feeds.

When I first started my blog obviously it had a Google PR0, I checked it again after a while and it was still 0 but then I kinda forgot about it expecting it to update in a few weeks.

Anyway I just checked it again today after 4 months and it is still 0, now I dont have the most popular blog but from my experience in running other (less successful) sites it is trivial to get a PR of 3 or 4 as soon as google gets to know about you...

I am not sure why but Google isnt picking up ANY incoming links to my blog:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=link%3Amacnewbie.wordpress.com

Whereas the google blog search shows over 50:
http://www.google.co.uk/blogsearch?q=link%3Amacnewbie.wordpress.com

and Technorati shows 150 links (from 103 sites)
http://www.technorati.com/search/macnewbie.wordpress.com

Checking down the wordpress botd list, every site on there that I checked has some sort of PR... What am I doing wrong?

Any ideas?

Dave
