I don't understand how PR works... help?

Hello,

I have a website that gets 1000-2000 page views/day and I have meta tags on the top of the index. Yet everyone on my site found the site by word of mouth. No one finds my site from google or yahoo. When I search on google for my site I can't find it on any page unless I directly type in the title of the site. Even then the site is only listed 4th. I know my site isn't cnn.com but shouldn't it atleast be in the first 10 pages when getting 1000-2000 view a day?

Here is the link if you need to see the page source to give me tips : http://www.sportsfanboards.com

(not trying to advertise it, just posted in case it is useful to help)

If there is a guide already posted somewhere please point me to it, any tips appreciated!

Thanks!

I think you are refering to search engine ranking

PR does not seem to have a great influence on the search engine results page position of my sites

What matters is search engine optimization

Two aspects
On page SEO. These are the factors on your page that you can alter or tweak to enhance your position in the search engines. I have a good overview of this at on page search engine optimization

Backlinks. You need to generate as many do follow links from other sites to your site as possible, preferably from niche relevant sites. Use the keywords you want your site to rank for as your anchor text in your back links

Good luck

Then congratulations - that's an accomplishment, and that's a lot of security, since a change in Google's algorithm won't take all your visitors away.

Search engines have no idea whether you have any visitors at all. Viewership has nothing to do with search ranking. Google (and Yahoo et al) want to return a list of documents sorted by how relevant they are to the query, and the number of people looking at those documents has nothing to do with how well any of them answer the question someone is asking.

Yep. It is two different forums, we are just leery of new members posting duplicate threads at several forums.

?? He did sign up for the other forum as well. He just copied and paste the exact same thread and I was just pointing out that we encourage members not to do that.

I agree with Learning Newbie("Viewership has nothing to do with search ranking"). And PR or PageRank is a link analysis algorithm that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of "measuring" its relative importance within the set. PR has nothing to do with the traffic.
