Yesterday, I read an article about Page Rank and how Google “punished” some popular sites with “downgrading” their PR. This happened because they had external links without attribute rel=”nofollow”.
Today I saw that Google rated my site as well. It is my first page rank. I got PR 3 and now what? Shall I make a party? Shall I cry? No! It’s one digit which telling nothing to regular people.
I don’t care what Page Rank of this page is, because it’s not commercial, but probably for some commercial project it’s quite critical.
I would like to mention one thing related to Google which I found recently:
Every SEO specialist will tell you that first and most important rule is – do valid and sensible HTML syntax otherwise most search engines wont rate your page as good as if you made this right. Ok, great and sensible advise, but why Google doesn’t follow this rule?
I made small observation on the Google’s results web page. And that’s what I found:
- Search in Google for any word which you come in your mind. On the search results page open the code /which is compressed/ and search for the word Web. You will see that there is closing tag tag </a>, but there is not the starting one. The same happens if you switch to the Image search or Video etc. It’s simple mistake – they removed starting a, i order to mark the menu selection, but they forget to make the same for closing tag.
- All attributes values are not surrounded with quotes
- There are more tables than required – every single result is surrounded from table, which could be easily replaced with regular divs.
But who I am that I can judge company as Google! 🙂
when comes new pageranking from google?
I do not know if Google updates the pagerank, but I already has over 1 years with a PR4, every time Google does not put it more difficult to attract visitors to our site, Google wants all the web traffic for them, is not just be left to compete and I am trying to get by with Google Adsense.Pero really earn a pittance if you have it 5 to attract more visitors.
Greetings.
I am cent percent agree with you that google punished some popular sites by downgrading their PR but it does not create worries for the website owners who have quality content to attract their visitor.According to my point of view CONTENT & QUALITY is counted to measure successful site rather then PR.
well, the system Google has introduced for the grade pointing of sites is admirable. What I think is best that it should be more authentic and variable according to the works of sites.
I support your point of view that Google has punished some famous sites. I can only call it pretty bias which should be eliminated as soon as possible.
