Hi,

I have problem with some website actually number of BL has increased, but still shows a PR0. Why?

Toolbar PageRank is only updated infrequently. Don't sweat it...or the backlinks.

Supposedly Google updates the PageRank on the toolbar every 3 or 4 months. I don't know that its that frequent. Don't sweat your PageRank. Make sure your content's solid, your traffic is good, and your conversions are high. Google will update your PR in a few months.

The increase in Back Links will definitely help you though (assuming their from reputable sites and not link farms).

Don't worry.

thank you for replies. It doesn't a little weird if: site A has PR4 and 20BL, site B has PR0 and 900BL? Anyway I have to wait for an update.

Not if the site's banned or has done something else silly, or Google has used a different fraction to count backlinks for the PR4 site than it has for the PR0 site (since it doesn't show all backlinks.)

What site do you see 900 backlinks for?

It's a lot more complicated than that. Not enough to make your head spin, but you've simplified it down to the point that links counts are the answer to every question, including what I'm going to have for dinner tonight. Backlinks can't help with that one - I'm at my wife's mercy.

Page A ( not Site A, but URL A, or in other words Page A - that's why they call it PageRank ) has a certain amount of "value" it can pass on. If there's only 1 off-site link on that page, all of the value goes to that lucky page. If there are 10 outward-bound links, then the value Page A has gets divided in 10, and each not as lucky page gets a slice.

Then there's the whole question of how much PR the links pointing to your site have versus how much PR the links pointing to your competition have.

And those two variables will answer your question about the PR of two different pages, as of about three months ago, the last time Google updated the public PR system.

I thought Google shows only valuabe "sifted" links (900), cause at my Google account I see 40000 links.

I was checking my sites status in the pagerank update
on seologs and this happened:


tut tut.. I then began to wonder how exactly are these guys generate the right key to permit validation? - anyone sussed this out for their own seo tools?

I don't see problem there. I just checkjed and it works http://www.seologs.com/pr-check/pagerank-dc.html
