The Google Forum

**mongo22** · 11-23-2008, 04:45 PM

Hi guys, my site Eazy Cheezy, currently has a 0/10 Google Ranking. I'm trying to understand why or figure out how to increase the ranking. My Alexa ranking is currently 146,374 and has steadily been getting better.

Any ideas on why my Google Ranking would be 0? It's been 0 since the start. I should also note that the site is only 3 months old.

Any help will be very appreciated.

Brian

I still wonder why there are so many questions about two of the most useless numbers there are in that SE world?

PR is determined by incoming links.

Here is more info about Page Rank

and here is why the previous link is pointless

EDIT: Chris posted at the same time - well a couple of seconds before me I guess

Another famous forum about SEO has a section about "expired domains" and how you can use them to improve your ranking. They seem to give some importance to PR. They say that if you have a higher PR, Google will index more of your pages. Basically the idea is that you buy expired domains with high PR with active links from other high PR sites and then you promote your site or use an effective redirect 301 on it to your actual site.

What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks guys, I just mainly wanted to ensure something wasn't screwed up or that I wasn't doing something wrong. I appreciate the help.

Forget about PR. I don't care if it's a 0 or a 10...the little green bar means NOTHING. Focus on your content and developing a user friendly site that is worth visiting.

Hi,

I agree with kline, PR doesn't matter for me. Traffic is more important for me.

Do you get good organic traffic from google? If so just wait on next major PR update either this late December or early January.

**carol123** · 11-27-2008, 02:50 AM

You should increase the number of backlinks for your website.
try to get the backlinks from other most relevant website.

**LucianoFigallo** · 11-27-2008, 04:38 PM

If you want a higher PR get more quality backlinks...relative to your subject and on site pages of the higher possible PR

Expired domains used to be great for passing trusting rank and improving positionings.
Today they are best used for the selective inclusion of pages.

Meaning, you have a group of pages you really want to include in googles index.
So you put links to them from an expired domain.
Google crawls from the sites linked to the expired domain, and then follow the expired domain's links.

These links don't significantly improve the rankings of the targetted page, but will get them included in the index. After that they pretty much stand on their own and support they get from the parent.

Good expired domains are hard to find. Older expired rather than newly expired is often easier to aquire.

Even then, you need to understand you are competing for this old inventory with people that have customs bots doing their work for them around the clock.

Old expired for example:
pacific-coast.org old but not well linked

If it didn't have the dash in the name, I would be all over it for other reasons.

Google is a domain registrar, so they know when a domain name expires, and they know when it's sold. Meaning no trust is passed with it, all these metrics get reset.

How old is your site?If its new,it won't get any PR. And how bother focusing on PR where the most important is the SERP.

**importexportus** · 12-10-2008, 12:19 AM

Get More and More Quality back link in Google so definitely increase your PR.

**web13** · 12-10-2008, 03:03 PM

Just go with the Alexa ranking, its what most buyers/sellers look at anyways when evaluating the value of a site.
