Need some help Pagerank N/A
-
Hi All! We have a small e commerce site, www.ruggedpcstore.com, built on Wordpress. The home page has a PR of 3, our About page is a PR 0, and all other pages are PR N/A. We've been pulling our hair out trying to fix what's wrong. Any ideas?

BTW, Thank You!

I think I just solved it thanks to SEOMoz tools. More than half the pages on the site have a rel canonical pointing at the home page. It was under Crawl Notices, which I have up to now ignored.
That should explain the NA!

Has your traffic changed?
Have your leads changed?
Is there any impact besides the number of pixels of green your have on your toolbar right now?
It could just be that your URL extension changed and things will catch up. If everything else is fine, don't sweat it.

The site is about 4 months old in its current iteration. It's a wordpress site, but it replaced a Joomla site. The PR N/A is frustrating us. With the home page having a PR 3, the other pages should have some PR, at least a 0.
With the SEOmoz tools, GWT, etc, we aren't getting any errors. Google is indexing the pages. I don't get it.

Has your traffic changed? Have your sales or leads changed? Do you have any messages in Google Webmaster Tools?

Can anyone else answer this?

Andy, thanks for your help, but I understand pagerank and ranking factors. The NA is indicative of a problem getting the pages indexed correctly. I have had the problem before on other sites, and it was indicative of a problem with the site's setup.
One site I was working on had the same symptoms. The home page was www.yoursite.com/directory/index.html. All of the inbound links (thousands) went to yoursite.com, no redirect to www. All of the www pages were NA and unranked. We changed the home page and redirects. Boom. PR3, and all kinds of high rankings.
After we made the changes, it took about a week for the PRs to change.
I do use mozrank, and the ranking factors from Majestic, as well. And pagerank is not unimportant. It is extremely important. It is just less important than it used to be.

PR no longer gets updated very often, 2 times a year if you are very very lucky.
New pages these days take a while to get any PR assigned (0 counts) and to move up obviously takes longer as PR is no longer a huge thing to Google.
The attitude you are taking is not the right one to have, PR is not hugely important and you are prioritizing it. PR is a signal of link trust and it's not the best one by any length. My suggestion is you forget PR as a major factor to you and maybe use something like MozRank -http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/mozrank - which is more upto date and uses more signals than PR alone.
hope this helps

The site is a few months old in its current iteration. i use google webmaster tools, and the site has been fetched recently after I discovered the problem. No known issues on GWT. The pages are getting indexed. As I said, the home page is a PR3. Other pages on the site should at least have a PR1. Our About page is a PR0. It should probably be a PR2.
-
how old is the site in its current being and how long have the other pages existed?

Redirect of https:// to http:// without SSL. Possible or not?!
Good afternoon, smart dudes : ) I am here to ask for your help. I posted this question on google help forum and stackoverflow, but looks like people do not know the correct answer... QUESTION: We used to have a secured site, but recently purchased a separate reservation software that provides SSL (takes clients to a separate secured website) where they can fill out the reservation form. We cancelled our SSL (just think its a waste to pay $100 for securing plain text). Now i have so many links pointing to our secured site and i have no idea how to fix it! How do i redirect https://www.mysite.comto http://www.mysite.com.Also would like to mention that i already have redirect from non www to www domain (not sure if that matters): RewriteEngine onRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com$ [NC]RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]As i already mentioned....we do not have SSL!!!! None of those 301 redirect codes i found online work (you have to have SSL for the site to be redirected from https to http | currently i get an error - can't establish a secured connection to the server ). Is there anything i can do???? Or do i have to purchase SSL again?

<sub>& <sup>tags, any SEO issues?</sup></sub>
Hi - the content on our corporate website is pretty technical, and we include chemical element codes in the text that users would search on (like S02, C02, etc.) A lot of times our engineers request that we list the codes correctly, with a <sub>on the last number. Question - does adding this code into the keyword affect SEO? The code would look like SO<sub>2</sub>.</sub> Thanks.

Website ranking went from page one to not in top 50 overnight. Help/suggestions?
One of our customer's websites initially ranked very well. For approximately 3 months it sat atop of Google for their optimized keywords. Suddenly, on November 17th, the ranking dropped and they were no longer in the top 50 for any keywords. We went through Google Webmaster tools and found no violations, so we emailed Google to see if we violated something and if they would reconsider. They responded "We reviewed your site and found no manual actions by the webspam team that might affect your site's ranking in Google." This is a site built on WordPress, so we turned off a majority of plugins in case one was somehow affecting the site. They have an incredible amount of business partners that link their website from their partner's website menus, so they have about 15,000 links all with anchor text "insurance." (every page on partner site is seen as a different link). Think this is affecting it? Maybe Google sees it as artificial? (P.S. This has been set up this way for a while before they came on with us). The site ranks on page one of Bing and Yahoo, but nowhere in top 50 for Google. Any suggestions? Appreciate the help!
