Why does my site have a PageRank of 0?
-
My site (www.onemedical.com) has a PageRank of 0, and I can't figure out why.
We did a major site update about a year ago, and moved the site from .md to .com about 9 months ago. We are crawled by Google and rank on the first page for many of our top keywords. We have a MozRank of 4.59.
I figured this is something that would just take time to work out of the system, but nothing seems to change while we patiently wait.
One more thing to note - when a user comes to the homepage (city selector) and selects their region they will then be cookied and directed to their relevant city site on subsequent visits. But even our city-specific pages (ie www.onemedical.com/sf) have pageranks of 0.
My management team keeps asking me about this and I suspect there is something silly that we keep overlooking...but for the life of me, can't figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated.

Google just pushed out a toolbar pagerank update today. http://www.seroundtable.com/june-2011-google-pagerank-13615.html
-
Yes... I am seeing toolbar green on lots of new content today - going back to content published on May 8th.
-
Thanks for checking this out. When I look at the page, it appears to be a 301, but I'm not looking at this with the cookie set. (What are you using to see the 302)?
Regardless, now that we've addressed this, today .com seems to have a PR of 6, and our city sites (ie /sf/doctors) appear to have a 4. Did Google just update?
-
I used 301 redirects on everything using .htaccess.
-
Egol you may have some insight on this: When I did a site analysis on www.onemedical.md it 301 -> www.onemedical.com -> 302 -> www.onemedical.com/sf/doctors if it detects the cookie that says I pre-selected sf on the last visit.
How would you suggest they do instead of the 302 to pass juice to the desired page sf or ny?
-
You are out of luck. I doubt that there is anywhere to get this. If there was a lot of people would be talking about it - especially the linksellers and linkbuyers.
Your management team needs some education or they will be hounding you for this forever.
Management needs to know that PR has not been updated for a long time. They also need to know that they are dwelling on a worthless metric.
Tell them to put their nose into a metric such as profits that is really important.
Hopefully they will not doubt you about this.

Thanks. Is there a way to measure a site's "actual" PageRank (not sure I'm using the right name, or even if I have this concept down...) or is there something else that Google's provides as a proxy so we can understand the relative authority of our site?
Obviously mozRank / mozTrust, but I'm looking for something that my management team might have an easier time accepting...

Toolbar PageRank has not been widely updated for at least a year.
I have articles with PR7 links hitting them since last June and they still have no green showing on the toolbar PageRank.
Moving your domain from .md to .com would temporarily knock your ToolBar PageRank down to zero and it would stay there until the next toolbar PageRank update.
Nobody knows when google will update the toolbar PageRank.
I would not be surprised if they stopped publishing it.

Mobile site domain authority
Hello, I think this may be a coding issue, but hoping someone can help me. I am still having issues with our mobile site ranking, even though we created redirects/canonical to identify similar content between desktop version and mobile. I did notice through MOZ analysis of backlinks that we have no domain authority. If the mobile site is automatically detected dependent on the user, shouldn't we also have the same domain authority? How does that work exactly? How can we build up the domain authority for our mobile site? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Best practice for eCommerce site migration, should I 301 redirect or match URLs on new site
Hi Guys, I have been struggling with this one for quite some time. I am no SEO expert like many of you, rather just a small business owner trying to do the right thing, so forgive me if I say something that makes no sense 🙂 I am moving our eCommerce store from one platform to another, in the process the store is getting a massive face lift. The part I am struggling with is whether I should keep my existing URL structure in place or use 301 redirects to create a cleaner looking URLs. Currently the URLs are a little long and I would love to move to a /category/product_name type format. Of course the goal is not to lose ranking in the process, I rank pretty well for several competitive phrases and do not want to create a negative impact. How would you guys handle this? Thanks, Dinesh

Webmaster Tools Links To Your Site
I logged onto webmaster tools today for my site and the section 'Links to Your Site' is showing no data. Also if I search using link:babskibaby.com it only shows 1 link. My site had been showing 500+ links previously. Does anyone know why this is?

Site links show spam
Hi folks, I'm working on a website that runs on WordPress and was not updated by the owner, this has resulted in a malware injection and now when you search the companies name in Google, the site links appear with words like Viagra, et al. I've seen this a number of times, so I went through the code and have removed all the malware. I presume I now have to wait for Google to recrawl the website and update the site links? Is there anything else I should be doing to speed up the process? Thank you 🙂

Site Disappeared off of Search
A friend of mine has a site (http://bit.ly/q4iWkM ) that was ranking number one for their key word (Drimnagh() and has now completely disappeared off of the ranking. I did some checking and can't see a problem. She does have duplicate meta and titles throughout but this shouldn't be a punishable offence that I know of and is something that I am going to correct with a quick plugin install. I couldn't see any redirects or code stopping search either. When you do site:URL it shows up OK as well. She is client of mine (for website not for SEO) and she is really upset about it so any help from the forum would be appreciated. This isn't even a site I did but you couldn't get a better person to work with so I am eager to help where and if possible. Guinness all round if someone solves it next time you are in Ireland

Merging two sites into one
I have two websites, www.joecline.com and www.affinityproperties.com. Originally, I wanted joecline.com to be focused on west austin only. I now realize that I only have time to really handle the promotion of one site. I'm wondering SEOwise, which url would be better to keep. I would consolidate all content on one site and 301 the migrated site to the new URLs in the domain which I would keep. Any ideas would be great. Thanks Joe
