Google Page Rank

[ken000]

I read with interest the recent post about Google having 18 servers with potential page rank differences between them. I went to http://www.iwebtool.com/pagerank_checker with confidence to check my page rank and horror of horrors, my primary retail site http://www.homehealthtesting.com/ only had a page rank on 4 of Google's 18 servers. This site has been around for about 10 years and I was stunned.

So - how does one correct the situation? How do I get my page rank recorded on the other 14 Google servers?

Welcome to WPW - You simply say - Oh hum and forget about it. The Google toolbar pagerank is uprated every 3 months - so think about it - Every three months, so it has nothing to do with your SEO. Now - Internal PR is something quite different. Go through all of the back posts here on PR and you will find all of your answers.

Ken that is not a horror issue. The datacenters are assigned for countries.

If you want to have PR on all datacenters, you must also have back links from sites of all those countries.

But that can get you into to trouble, as you might can have a loss of rankings in the local search of the country you target.

So if you want my advise, don't care about that. ;)

Webnauts - yes the datacentres are for each Country - but each countries DC's update at different times and give differing SERP - But that is minor.

Well, I'm not too clear about what your horrified by, a PR of 4 isn't bad at all.

The number #1 way to increase your page rank is to get more links to your site. The text in the link helps google determine what to list your site under. The number of the (HTML and Plain -text only links, SE's won't read javascript or other generated links) links and the PR of the pages with your links (and other factors like how many utgoing links they have) determine your PR.

Want more conversions? I'd say that having the "buy now" links not leave your web sites (going to the subdomain of a web marketing company) would be the first place to start. I'm sure that there's nothing untoward going on in this instance, but as a consumer this always makes me suspious.

Want more advice on how to dress up your site and get more conversions? Post a request for a review in the site review forum here.

It's been said time and time again on this and every other webmaster forum,

DON'T STRESS TOO MUCH ABOUT YOUR PR!!!

Google admitted ages ago that this is just a guideline and the real algo calculates are based on many more important factors, like the quantity of quality backlinks.

If you want to reassure yourself, use this tool;

it shows who links to those who link to you. Compare it to your low ranking competitors and see the difference.

I've got one site that I got a PR5 for on its first indexing (without a single PR6 ibl), I've got another that has a single PR6 ibl but ended up with PR4 itself.
