Default My site has many keywords 1st but page rank remains in 2?

Hi,

I was wondering why my site rank doesn't increase even if I have many keywords in 1st place? They are totally relevant.

Thank you,

Rick I dont know what you mean. What does having a lot of 1st place rankings have to do with PR or siterank as you may call it?

Site page rank is not connected with site traffic or SERP any way. enjoy your traffic rather to be gloomy to not having PR. To hell with PR if you are getting good traffic.

ok, thank you all for your insight, I was worried PR will be affected if you have many keywords ranking on 1st place.

In the past I had a page suddenly jump to 5, after some keywords, ranked 1, it lasts for a while, but it was interesting to see and to understand why that happened.

PR is a tool to show the quality and number of backlinks pointing at a site. It is only updated about every 3 months so the information is of no real use.

The anchor text coming from those inbounds links is what causes a keyword to rank.

But if there are two sites with similar quality of optimisation, the one with the higher PR is likely to be better placed.

My way of looking at PR is, never mind the quality, feel the width!

Also, when looking at your relative position - ie "I'm No.1 for xyz serach term, look at the top right of the screen, are you 1st - of about 500 - or 1st out of millions.

But the above comments are perhaps the most relevant, if your site is number 1 and it brings in visitors and contacts and then business, Who Cares!

Yes it does and not a little but a lot. It is a lot more than a tie breaker.

And you do SEO?

PR is very powerful and is far from useless.

Yes, I do SEO and I don't give much cred to PR... I have seen way too many times where sites with lower PR outrank the sites with higher PR... I have noticed that you believe differently and that's OK... I focus on results in the SERP's and on conversions.

I hope that you can respect that we have a difference of opinion.

hi... it doesn't mean that if you have many keywords in your site your page rank move up. It still depends on the quality of links and contents that you site has.

Page rank has a few requirements that are a little out of your control eg website age

I think if you have good SERPs position and are getting targetted traffic that converts then you are obviously doing the right thing and I would continue to do that

if your rank go up. and then your pr will update. but not soon, you will wait for some time as the pr updated for 3 months once. good luck for you. you should focus on ranking.

Hey yes it is right PR is not consult with SERP result. It all depend upon the SEO of your site so why you are wondring for the PR just check the SERP position and work on it instead of the PR.
