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.

PPC ads: landing page vs website page ... other metrics to consider?
I run 3 PPC ads in Chinese language on Baidu, of which one landing page consistently ranks around 5th amongst 80+ other English website pages. So, when our site was recently developed for Chinese language, I redirected the ads to the relevant Chinese website pages for a month to see which would attract more visitors (Chinese landing pages vs Chinese website). I haven't fully analysed the results yet, but what other metrics should I consider than just the volume of visitors? Landing page

Are Click-Through rates & Bounce Rates as Ranking Metrics ?
There are lots of articles around but I would prefer to see what everyone here has to say about it. Are they ranking metrics ( directly or In-directly )? If they are then how to get it right? Can i depend on Google In-page analytic? What is an acceptable Bounce rate for a home page ? What is an average click through rate for your landing page ? thanks

I am begining to suspect that I have some sort of Google penalty but I cannot know for sure.
I believe I comply with all Google guidelines and I think the SEO is good.
Possibly the eBay affiliate links are the problem but they form a large part of the content and user experience.
The page gives a price guide for items in different conditions and has various other tools for the user. Any thought would be appreciated. Thanks for your time in advance. Alan0
