Google Change Pagerank System

[stscac]

I am trying to check pagerank at a few different sites and some give me 67/10 and all others give unknown. Just wondering and seeing if i am just having bad luck or if anyone else has gotten this as well?

I'm also having problems with PR. Even google.com has a PR of 0...

Yeah that is wierd and I also like your site but it seems you ran out of bandwith so now I can't see it.

How so? Do you sell PR links or is it having an effect on the traffic to your sites or something?

It doesn't bother me if Google does stuff with PR as long as it is to everybody. I'll be worried when it's only the PR from my sites which is all screwy.

Possibly a totaly new pagerank system, From what I have read 0 will be the highest and 100 will be the lowest.

Where did you read that GJ ?

They might be trying to kill off those text link sites selling google PR.

I know google already was mad about the massive fake link inflation going on, so they updated their algothrim(sp?) so links mean less.

No matter what they do they will still have a few unrelevent sites ranking high, its just intresting to watch gooogle....

If you are one to pay attention to what happens within the Google realm, you might find yourself thrown for a loop these days. As Google updates their results, it seems like they are having some issues dealing with so many new websites popping up.

Indexing 8 billion websites is quite an accomplishment for Google. As they are reluctant to increase this number, they are faced with many challenges in trying to keep some sites within these 8 billion pages while losing some others, after each update they do to their database.

So how do you determine which listings to lose?

We've all heard of the "sandbox theory"! (New sites are added to a group of other new sites until a certain amount of time has passed and you've proven your worth. Once you've proven your site is valuable, Google releases it within its regular search results).

It seems to me that if you don't own a large network of websites that can easily increase the websites link popularity overnight, your newly created website won't get hit as hard and is added to the sandbox for only a certain period of time.

On the other hand, if you do own a large network of websites and increase the amount of websites you have, your newly built website(s) will get hit harder and may take a lot more time and promotional effort to get good search rankings results within Google.

Let's take a look at why this may be true:

1st) It has been long speculated that Google searches through the "WHOIS" data base regularly ("WHOIS" - Contact record of who owns a specific domain name). By doing this Google can now see who owns what and how many domain names they own. By doing this Google can now determine that "Company A" owns 25 websites. This collection of 25 websites can now all be crawled to look for content copying, ghost pages, mimic pages, irrelevant link directories, etc. By knowing that you own 25 websites, Google can quickly determine their worth and rank them accordingly.

2nd) With this knowledge provided by the "WHOIS" data base, Google can also see how many years you've registered each domain name for. For instance, if you register all your domain names for only 1 year, there is a possibility that you don't plan on using these domain names for the long term. Instead, you may be using these new domain names simply to keep up with new changes on the internet and new standards in search engine optimization.

On the other hand, if you register all of your new domain names for the next 5 years, it is more likely that you are going to use these domain names in the future. This now gives more relevance to each domain name you register for more than 1 year.

I am now recommending to all my clients not only to make sure to register a domain name related to their country (i.e. Canada = .ca), but to also make sure that they register their domain name for 5 years. If you are truly serious about increasing your business online, why would you risk missing your domain name renewals every year and possibly loose your domain name?

Google may also look at how long you've owned this website for!

It may be true that by adding your new website to the "sandbox", Google may also add your website to a "history report". This history report can give their database detailed information about how old your website is. These days, I believe that it takes about 6-8 months before Google updates your "history report". By updating, I mean possibly releasing your website further within search results.

See, this combination of "who owns the domain", "how long will you own the domain name", and "how old is the website", can provide a more accurate report to Google as to whether or not this website will survive, stay the course, or provide great content. Through this "history report" and "sandbox report", your website will go through an "exam" after 6-8 months in order to determine whether or not you are ready to play with the big boys online or whether or not your website has what it takes to succeed online.

Until Google increases the amount of websites it will index within its results, we are all going to have to battle to stay on top. Internet marketing in general is becoming increasingly tougher with every month that passes. It has finally caught up to us and we are now starting to fight a hard battle.

One more thing you may notice:

Google's cache (Snapshot image of your website when it crawls through) is becoming a little wonky lately. One day Google will have an updated cache, the next day it won't have a cache at all, and the following day it will have a cache of your website from 2 weeks ago.

What does this all mean?

When Google crawls a certain page, it looks at everything. Let's take one specific internal page in your website. This specific page may be ranked 10 different times within the search results for 10 different key searches depending on the content within that certain page.

As Google increasingly fights to keep certain pages, its cache may be having a tough time keeping up and delivering the most relevant cache to date. More times than not, the front page of a website doesn't have a cache at all anymore! This is very interesting. It may mean that your front page may not be the "key" anymore since more and more people are trying to cram everything under the sun within their front page.

It is possible that your "Main Sub-Categories" are weighing higher in Google's eyes for the quality and relevance of your internal content.

What you want to do is to provide a clean map to all your internal pages. Your front page was the best solution for providing a map to all of your pages. Maybe these days, your front page should be used only to link to your main "sub-categories" and also to show your most recent posted content!

I will leave you with this. If you are new online or even an experienced marketer online, buying many new domain names may not be the key to increase your success right now. Buying new domains should be a long term investment. Try increasing the popularity of your already established websites in order to gain more exposure for your business. Owning more domains increases the amount of time and effort you need to promote each one. Like I've mentioned many times before, owning a network of websites is not enough! You need to expand your horizons online, increase your content and create more business partnerships every chance you have

Nice article. It was a good read but I dont agree with everything.

Good luck

 

[FusunMedia]

I'm guessing Google is updating the PageRank Algorithm how it calculates which sites get what rank. So for the time being they disabled the PageRank system.

Yeah and every site that I check pagerank for has a rank of 67

 

[jg123]

no more PR

Download the newest Google toolbar and you will see there is no Page Rank on it, pretty much answers the question I think.

Edit: Ok I posted too quickly, there is an option under the new toolbar to show page rank, so I am guessing it still exisits in some form, a ranking system of ?/100 would make sense because 0-10 just gives less acurate information.

Where did you read that GJ ?

I have simply put all the facts from the thread so far and put them in to a solution or result! The highest being 64 meaning that it wouldn't be out of 50 and any other number wouldn't be right so a mark out of 100, Google wouldn't be at 0 - meaning last so 0 could be the highest.

 

[PoorDoggie]

I don't care what they are doing, but it getting them a lot of publicity. Could it be that they are doing it for the publicity.

It is amazing to see what a state people get into when page rank stops working for a while. So many people rely too much on Google. It is amazing that someone can come (well... two people) and start an internet revoloution. It is amazing how they start up a search engine and it has become so popular that people follow what it does, like sheep. Its almost like a cult, or a religion. And the funny thing is, no-one hates google! Even thought they have now stopped pagerank, and sent the whole world into confusion, you have nothing bad to say! :lol:

But there are only TWO results, 67 and 0, and I don't think google are so lazy that they would only mark each website with either of those two numbers. Nice to see someone thinking though.

 

[sunken]

Actually mine is set at 70 right now, along with yahoo.com (grin). Not sure what that means. I am not sure what they are doing, but it's interesting to see what the new order will be.

I am beginning to think that Google results are overrated. I still use Google if I am looking for something very specific but I find MSN or dogpile more usefull for generalized topical searches.
