Why such a high page rank with so low metrics in OSE
-
Hi,
The website is:
www.s123parka123ble.com (remove the 123)All websites I have ever seen with similar metrics in OSE have normally a PR of 2 or 3 or max 4. This one is PR 5 and I would like to know why.
I also noticed that they do not redirect the urls without www. to www. Which is normally bad ... can it be good for some reason in this case?
It is PR 5 since a long time
I just can´t get why it is PR 5. Please have a look.
Thanks!

I agree those links aren't enough to be ranking that high, that's why I think they do get a lot of traffic.
And yeah they seem to have those footers on a few of their clients.
Indeed, it appears it is working for them. I think it's good and positive to have a link back to you from your clients website, but what these guys are doing seems a bit sneaky and greedy to me and affects their clients design in a negative way.

You are right Eblan, they do have a lot of links from customers. Footer links.
However they don´t seem to be enough for such a page rank.
Check the footer of this customer:
www.prometheu123sbooks.com (take away 123)Isn´t it against horrible what they do in the footer?
The fact is that the technique works incredibly good for them.

I mainly go with the information in [this post](http://www.seomoz.org/blog/internal-linking-strategies-for-2012-and-beyond#sts=Footer Links Are Not (Inherently) Bad). Footers are great for navigation but being hit for rich keyword exploitation. It seems most web designers follow that tactic though.

Well it has tons of links coming from 50 domains including their own. And it seems they did some SEO on most of them. So probably that plus a lot of traffic = PR5.
What I want to know is: Most of their backlinks come from their clients and they aren't topic related/relevant, so how much link juice are they really getting from them? Also they have like 4 links to them with different anchor text in the footer of their clients websites like this one pointing to them. Is that good? I don't think so but I would like some feedback from a more experienced SEO consultant.

Unsolved Wild fluctuations in ranking, any thoughts on why or what to do about it?
We have a keyword which is important to us and used to have rock steady rankings for over a decade. Over the past 9 months or so it has been fluctuating all over the place. Jumping up or down 20 places or so overnight. Any thoughts on this behaviour and what we should be doing to stabilise the ranking?Screenshot 2024-05-13 at 09.47.jpg

Community Discussion - Do you think increasing word count helps content rank better?
In the online marketing community, there is a widespread belief that long-form content ranks better. In today's YouMoz post, Ryan Purthill shares how his research indicated 1,125 to be a magic number of sorts: The closer a post got to this word count, the better it ranked. Diminishing returns, however, were seen once a post exceeded 1,125 words. Does this jibe with your own data and experiences? Do you think increasing word count helps content rank better in general? What about for specific industries and types of content? Let's discuss!

Webmaster Tools Indexed pages vs. Sitemap?
Looking at Google Webmaster Tools and I'm noticing a few things, most sites I look at the number of indexed pages in the sitemaps report is usually less than 100% (i.e. something like 122 indexed out of 134 submitted or something) and the number of indexed pages in the indexed status report is usually higher. So for example, one site says over 1000 pages indexed in the indexed status report but the sitemap says something like 122 indexed. My question: Is the sitemap report always a subset of the URLs submitted in the sitemap? Will the number of pages indexed there always be lower than or equal to the URLs referenced in the sitemap? Also, if there is a big disparity between the sitemap submitted URLs and the indexed URLs (like 10x) is that concerning to anyone else?

Is there any way to see how one my keywords ranked historically before I started tracking it?
Hello there! I'm in need of some historical data on some keywords as they relate to my site. Basically, I'd like to track which events have had the most impact on moving me through the rankings, but I wasn't using Moz at the time I had made some changes to my website... Is there any way to see how I ranked for a particular keyword at a given point in time? Thanks! Gene

Do I need to turn off custom results or empty my cache before using the SEOMOZ Pro Rank checker?
I'm getting unusual swings in SERPS ranks from one day to another (I had several keywords ranked in top ten go to the the third or fourth page in a week). I knwo that there's always variation because of localized and custom search, but this seems to be something more.
