Good Morning, well it is here. Rivux and AndrewX, if you like - my reference to Yahoo is simplistic, as I stated all SE's use 'some form' of
PR - OK I have now seen the copywrite thing for Google and the Yahoo equilevant, but if I had thought that this was purely a Google thing - I would have posted it there.
I use several links to methods, I like widexl - so when I ran a links check on their site they had No links from Google, 14 in Yahoo,15 in All the Web 16 in Altavista and not alot anywhere else. So here you have a site with a Google PR4 with no Google links.
I am as technical as an ashtray on a motorbike, I am to use my favourite word 'Simplistic'- my original question stands, why do we get so
PR hooked?
As I see it, we are all here to help each other, I'm good at what I do and that is to get my site noticed on every SE, but I use non technical methods, I simply submit to Directories and post in a few forums, I don't have massive backlinks, but I do now have over 500 page one entries on about 16 keywords and by following all the great tips here at WPW it has worked. One example, I read everything I could on Teoma and now if you search 'Right to Buy' my site is 1 and that led to Ask Jeeves also listing me at 1. Ask Jeeves is advertising on UK TV, I'm a happy guy. Thanks to all of you.
