Pagerank mystery
-
Hello SEO brethren -
I've got a mystery I'm trying to solve. I work in house SEO at http://www.uncommongoods.com/
Our home page is a Pagerank 5. All of our sub-pages are Pagerank 0. Even this one below which has 276 links from 57 domains:
http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/recycled-wine-bottle-platters
Any clue what is going on here? Is a PR 0 typical for a page with this many links / linking domains?
Thanks!

Hey Ben,
Great advice, I think you are dead on. Big help thank you!

In that case you will have all new URLs and the google toolbar won't be pulling off the data. This is why the homepage still has the PR as it hasn't changed.
It's just a case of waiting to get that back, you have done a redirect but it may take a while for these to be updated on the website. As the URL is different Google will still be waiting to update the toolbar.
I would personally not worry about it, at least you have the mozbar details.
Hope this helps,
Ben

Hey Ben thanks for your feedback.
We did change the extensions somewhat recently..We didn’t use .html, but we did use .jsp before a site redesign in October. So for instance, our item page URLs used to be:
www.uncommongoods.com/item/item.jsp?itemId=13271
and are now:
www.uncommongoods.com/product/pee-pee-teepees
We never had an extension on the homepage; for category pages (non-product pages), we made the switch around June 2010, and for the product pages and all other pages we made the switch in October 2010.
What would you suggest we do as a solution to get our page rank back?

Hi Zack,
Have you recently changed the extensions on your URLs? e.g. removed .html
This could be one cause.

Mysterious drop in the Number of Pages Crawled
The # of crawled pages on my campaign dashboard has been 90 for months. Approximate a week ago it dropped down to 25 crawled pages, and many links went with it. I have checked with my web master, and he said no changes have been made which would cause this to happen. I am looking for suggestions on how I can go about trouble shooting this issue, and possible solutions. Thanks in advance!

Javascript void and PageRank
Do javascript void links to on-page elements (not to a new page) consume PageRank? I'm paring down links on a client's homepage, and we have javascript void links (wrapped in <a href="">) that load videos, elements of a slider, etc. on the page itself.</a> <a href="">Basically, if I have a bunch of these, is it going to weaken the power of the other links on the page?</a>

HTML Forms Dilute Pagerank?
Today, we have way too many links on our homepage. About 30 of them are add-to-basket links (regular html links) pointing to a separate application. This application 302 redirects the client back to the referring page. I have two questions: 1. Does the current implementation of our buttons dilute pagerank? Bear in mind the 302 redirect. 2. If the answer to the first question is yes, would transforming the buttons into form buttons change anything to the better? We would still 302 back to the referring page. I know Gbot follows GET forms and even POST forms, but does GBot pass on pagerank to the form URL?

My site is live 6 months but still has no PageRank?
I launched my site back in November and in the last 6 months have been pretty stoked about some of the links we've received from some .edu 's and some other big sites.... but I still don't register any PageRank. Is this normal or have I made some fatal flaw that is killing me in the eyes of google? Thanks Brian Clapp Founder, SportsTVJobs.com
