HI

Just thought I'd ask about and see if anyone can help me. My site has jumped from PR0 to PR3 during the PR update. My site is optomized for the keywords I need currently I am not listed on google and thought I was in the Sandbox does this mean I am out the sandbox and will be listed on google shortly?

Hope someone can help.

Pete

No

Not sure exactly how the sandbox works, but certainly for money keywords you may be waiting much much longer to travel to the top.

If you search yoursite on google look at how many pages it has cashed and see where they are in the SERPs

Always think links and content with google. If enough other sites list the page you want to feature with enough anchor keywords over time it should feature. That being said i certainly think somekind of link filter is incorporated in the sandbox, to many links in a short period can certainly work against you in the same way that an over optimised page can hold you back.

Good luck anyway, keep working on the content and you will start to feature

I'm not quite sure how the sandbox works and PR doesn't really matter that much anymore. I had a PR5 and it then went to PR4 and I am receiving more traffic from Google know to what I was when I had a PR5. But then again, I have got alot more listings within google now to what I had then, which could be the reason for the increase in traffic from Google.

To be honest, I don't understand this fascination with PR. Maybe it was an issue a few years ago, but now it seems to have no meaning at all (I'm talking about toolbar PR).

Just make a page that people want to visit, the rest will work itself out...

people tend to think that google ranks the page according to PR but actually PR is a very small factor for consideration into SERP.

A short example. Yahoo has PR 10 so it should appear on top for almost all the searches. But thats not the case. So its just not the pr that can help but the most important think is the Anchor text keyword.

Also this link will be very much useful to you.

I think link popularity is another quite important factor when trying to improve your rankings. PR doesn't count for much!
