PR Ranks
-
Do they really have a lot of value on how a site performs on Google? What is the best way to raise your PR Rank?
-
Crystal,
Here is a couple of good videos from SEOmoz on Domain Authority, Page Authority and Page Rank.

Everything I have done has been by me, but since the site is almost 13 years old, I am not sure anymore. -lol
-
That's often the case, lol.
If you can Correlate some activity that you've done, such as online PR or producing some great new content with a change in rankings (and more importantly, visitor numbers, which are more important than rankings alone) then you can hopefully work out the Causation (i.e. what you've done that's had a positive impact).
Often SEO is taken care of those that don't directly work in SEO, such as site designers & builders, content writers, PR people... they are all a part of the team that, often without knowing, contribute a great deal towards SEO efforts
-
I actually rank quite well, I just don't know what I did to do it. -lol so I can make it better and get some of my other sites to rank too.

Sure have Crystal;
-
Content - unique, relevant, topical, interesting, valuable content that's well written is absolutely essential.
-
Distribution - distributing content online such as through Marketwire and high quality blogs, plus through social sharing, is very important.
-
Link Building - Producing and Distributing great content will result in some great natural links for you. Aiding the process can make it even more successful, such as sending an Infographic (with a text link within it) over to relevant sites that host and review infographics.
So in summary, Content is still King, it's so very important, the right kind of high quality content that is. Then comes the distribution and the link building.
There are so many factors that count towards rankings, it can become overwhelming if you start thinking about them too much. Focus on delivering as valuable a website and experience for your visitors that you can and that will in itself take care of a vast amount of the SEO for you.
There is a great SEO Beginners Guide at http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo which is well worth a read.
Regards
Simon

Thanks I suspected it didn't have a huge impact on performance.
Any suggestions on improving MozTrust and domain authority?

Hi Crystal
Google's PageRank isn't something to take much notice of, SEOmoz's Domain Authority, MozRank and MozTrust are more meaningful and useful, they take into account many more factors.
Google's PageRank is only publicly updated 3 or 4 times a year at best anyway.
Hope that helps,
Regards
Simon

My Rankings Keep Going Down - Needs some more ideas on why...
Hi Everyone, I have been working on the website www.PetsSpark.com for a while now. I used to be on the first page for many of my keywords, now I am lucky if i am on the 2nd or 3rd. I stopped my SEO efforts for about 3 months while making changes to the website, its whithin these 3 months that I started dropping from the first page. The biggest thing I notice is the "type" of website now ranking for my main keywords. Mostly Forums, Blogs, or Product Review websites. Take for instance Dog Tear Stain Remover. I used to rank at about #5 for this keyword and now i rank at #20. I'm not sure if my loss of ranking is a combination of things like who Google is letting rank now or if there is something wrong on my website, etc. Can anyone give me a little insight?? Please.... I will also be happy to give more information about what has been going on if needed.

PR of homepage when other pages have more lniks
This is going to sound like such a newbie question. I don't know how I've been doing SEO all this time and haven't come across the answer. It's usually true that a homepage will have the most backlinks, but what if it doesn't? What if an internal page has more links? Is it possible for an internal page to have a higher PR than a homepage? Additionally, if I do on-page SEO for many internal pages of my site, will it only help those particular pages or will it give the whole site a boost, thus making the homepage rank higher in the SERPS?

High pr doc files
I saw that the website www.comunicatedepresa.net outranks www.comunicatedepresa.ro for the therm "comunicate de presa" in google.ro SERP even though .ro beats .net in every seo indicator (links, domains linking, fb likes, g+, onpage etc) I saw that site:www.comunicatedepresa.net returns a lot of *.doc files with a title that contains the kw ("comunicate de presa"). Ex: www.comunicatedepresa.net/worddoc/1485/ It seems a little suspicios to me.Did anyone see this before (google giving higher importance to doc files)? Does anyone know why .net site is ranking better?

Does duplicate content on word press work against the site rank? (not page rank)
I noticed in the crawl that there seems to be some duplicate content with my word press blog. I installed a seo plugin, Yoast's wordpress seo plugin, and set it to keep from crawling the archives. This might solve the problem but my main question is can the blog drag my site down?
