Simon,
I had 2 returns for Internet Web Design &
Seo companies listed for my town on a PR0 directory, one of them being an associate of a frequent poster on these forums.
That firm most likely subscribed to that directory service and they have provided a different URL and page for every single city in the US.
Tell me that is not garbage. Do you want to hazard a guess at how many duplicate pages that is?
PR is not an issue here (they have a PR0) as much as
having a separate page for every US city using this proliferation technology.
The next obvious question we have to ask then is... Are there ways to garner traffic beyond what the SEs can provide? Can I sacrafice my
PR for much more traffic? (Probably not since this particular find was not in GOOGLE's top 30 SERP positions), but then, they only know.
Ohhhh... and if I go there , How long will the party last?
Show me Sites engaging in these duplicate web page proliferation technologies that kept a mid point ranking in the last update.
The last time I checked PR0s did not qualify for "Trusted Site Status".
