PR calculation
-
I just used the PR formula for google and noticed that I when I cross link between my categories which are on the same level the juice / PR of my homepage diminishes...
Is there s way to boast the sub pages and the the homepage at the same time or has google put together some algorithm that does this that I do not know about ?

Hi,
Do you mean the patent that Google published years ago? They've done a bit of updating to the algo since then.
What makes sense for your users for linking categories? Don't forget that they are an important part of your site.

Google balances SERP results with positive and negative News/PR?
Hey guys, We did reputation management back in March 2017. We basically built high quality links to online assets such as linkedin, twitter, facebook, positive PR articles and other web properties in order to rank them higher then negative PR. However there was 0 change (the link building was solid). And the negative PR remains in the top 10 with also positive new articles about the site. At this point, i believe that Google is keeping the negative PR in the top 10 to keep balanced SERP results. Does anyone know if this is something Google does to balance positive and negative results? Cheers, Chris

What is the Proper Inbound Linking methodology? Is PR Sculpting gone?
Hi, I know that once there were discussions about "navigating" all links top wise to the main pages - for example to category pages in e-commerce sites. What is the proper methodology today? One example: Should I link out from a category main page which shows my products (a serious landing page) to a page that explains about the product? It makes sense but I don't want my about page to become the more important page (even though it does link back to the products category page). Thanks

My site was a PR 5 and now is unranked?
A site that I do SEO and SMM (www.corporatecomplianceinsights.com) had a PR 5 and now it shows "unranked". I had the #1 position for many core keywords, and now they are all gone. I don't do any black hat at all. Mostly article distribution and onsite content growth. The only logical thing that I can think of is, the server was going down several times a day, for about 3 days, a few weeks ago. But I can imagine that would cause me to lose all my rankings, and a PR 5. But then again, this has never happened to me before. I am trying to find out what caused this, how to fix the problem, and how long it will take to recover. Any suggestions or help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I am willing to pay for good advice on this issue if need be. JT

Why PR does not grow?
Hi, I have a question about one of my sites whose PR does not want to increase. It's more of a curiosity, actually. the site pokercasinomania.com has been online since 2007. I had developed a link building campaign dedicated to it, so I have many links directing toward it. I just don't understand why the PR is stil 1. Also, at one point the PR had raised to 2, but it went back to 1 after less than a week. Can someone explain why this happened? Thank you very much. Sal

Buying domains with prior age and or PR
Is there any value to buying a domain for its PR or age? Or is it no better than a brand new unregistered domain name? On the flip side, is there any potential danger of buying domains with PR and age?

Buying up old domains, high PR, to absorb backlinks and authority?
I'm thinking about purchasing http://employeesurveyresource.com/ .. $300 It's showing a PR5, but I'm not seeing many backlinks in Y! site explorer or open site explorer. Has anyone been successful in absorbing the PR from older domains / domains without current content? I know sometimes people can fake PR by 301'ing from a high PR site, to sell the domain and then cancel the 301, leaving you with a dud. Can someone shed some light on this please? Thank you!
