Very Big Pr blogs
-
Hi there,
I was wonder how come a simple blog with 1-2 page ..not very old (<1 year) ..can get Pr 7 or Pr 8? Take a look:
Mit4.info pr 6 , 6 months old...
http://odubai.info/ Pr 7
esenderlink.info Pr 8 !!!
webstreamingsmania.com/ PR 9 !
Very strange! Can someone explain how they got this <acronym title="Google Page Ranking">PR</acronym> and if they transfer anything if we post links there?
Thanks in advance!

I checked the PR9. That is definitely fake.
PageRank is a product of the links that point to a site. Therefore you CANNOT have a high PR without high incoming links. Even using the freshest and most generous backlink checkers that site has no more than a handful of poor quality backlinks.
Let's ignore backlinks and just use common sense. What other PR9 sites can you think of? Amazon.com is only an 8, seomoz is only a 6. Apple.com is a 9, as is adobe.com (one of the most linked domains on the planet). Would you say that this blog with it's keyword anchor laden fiverr style content is on a par with those sites? Is it likely to pick up the same quality and quantity of links?
PR is a product of the links. If the links are not there then that PR does not belog on that domain. Just because you can't see how they are faking it doesn't mean that it is not fake.
(earlier 301 redirect to a higher PR domain is the likely trick used by the same)
Here is an OSE comparison that shows the difference. It could be argued that OSE is usually a few weeks behind, but then you have to assume that this site could close the gap on Microsoft.com in a few weeks, which is even more far fetched!

They are not fake ! You can check them,,,

Even without looking I would suggest that they probably have fake PR.
There are a couple of ways you can trick google in to displaying a fake toolbar PR. It doesn't actually help your site at all in the rankings, but can be useful if you are being less than honest (for example selling links based on PR).
A good way to spot these is to compare PR with DA/PA in open site explorer. Big differences can be a sign that something is amiss. There are some online "fake PR" checkers too, although their reliability varies.

Would you utilize an industry blog you own in linkbuilding and outreach activities for the same industry?
Much of my company's client base is in the same industry. They are not direct competitors, but do function in different parts of the same industry overall. My company also owns a blog that has been dormant for the past several years with great content that spans the industry's topics I'm interested in revamping this blog as a place where we can do some blogging on behalf of our clients sites and also invite other industry experts to contribute in exchange for contributions to their sites and links back in their content from time to time. I'm curious what your thoughts are on doing something like this. We would maintain a totally white hat approach to the content by avoiding over-linking and probably nofollowing a lot of our links in most cases. I believe it's an excellent resource in our ever-expanding link building and outreach capacity, but I also don't want to do something that's going to be looked at poorly by Google. Please don't rip into me for this being a blackhat or unnatural tactic as it will be fully moderated by our team and will only publish high quality, industry-relevant content. What are your thoughts on how we could pull something like this off and what some of the dangers might be?

The wrath of Google's Hummingbird, a big problem, but no quick solution?
One of our websites has been wrongfully tagged for penalty and has literally disappeared from Google. After lot's of research, it seems the reason was due to a ton of spammy backlinks and irrelevant anchor text. I have disavowed the links, but the results are still not rebounding back. Any idea how long the wrath of Google gods will last?

Guest Post Blogging And Exchanging Links
Hi, I hope you are all well. Would there be any problem with exchanging a guest blog, so two websites doing a guest post for each other and both sites linking back to each other. I don't think this would be an issue on a small scale though I just wanted to see what everyone else thought. Are there any other things I should bear in mind when doing this as well? Kind Regards

How do I place the product link on my blog?
I have a shop and also a blog where I explain better the products on the site, such as: how to use, tips, recipes and more. How do I place the product link on my blog? Should I put a link with nofollow? Should not I put link? To put the link anchor text or just put the page URL? Don’t I need to worry about it?

Anyone else noticing that their expired domains have lost PR?
A while back I experimented with buying some expired domains that had some PR. I built a small website on each and created content with anchor text that linked back to my main site. For one of my sites I noticed a significant drop in rankings this week. At first I thought it was because of the latest Panda update. But, the drop was slow, not sudden like most Panda hits have been. Then, I noticed that some of my previously purchased domains that had held their PR for quite a while are now PR N/A. I'm guessing that the latest algorithm change caught on to what I was doing. Probably what I was doing was grey hat. I honestly think that every SEO goes through a period where they try out some grey or even black tactics. This makes me even more desiring to be completely White hat now....and build links that are going to last. I was just wondering if any of you guys have experienced anything like this this week? Would love to hear your thoughts. EDIT: A second question - What would you guys do with these domains? They're still in the Google index so they're not penalized, likely just stripped of PR. Would you scrap them completely? Remove the links back to my sites? Do nothing?
