Page Rank and offline sites
-
I have a domain with PR6 according to the Historical Pagerank Checker. But that last PR was calculated 2 years ago. I brought the site back online a few days ago and have checked that many/most of the backlinks are still valid. It is now in the Google index but the Historical Pagerank Checker shows PR0.
Will it get back its previous rank or something close to it? How long will it take?

In addition to Steve having pointed out that the PR you see is totally invalid, and not truly reflective of your real situation, I'd also say that if it's only been back online a couple days, it's way too early to even begin to determine how the site holds up. Nowadays Google assigns an initial estimated ranking value to each page on the site, and the site overall, but then other algorithms are run over the course of days, if not weeks. These provide additional input to either confirm, deny or otherwise cause a modification to that initial assessment.
Then there's the reality that in all that time, if other sites that compete for the same phrases undergo changes themselves in that general time-frame, that too would cause shifting.
Personally I don't put too much weight in ANY "ranking" data. Whether it's MozRank, Keyword search results ranking, or any other kind. All of it's just a general guide.
The only thing that truly matters nowadays for the vast majority of situations is - am I getting a volume of organic search traffic that suits my needs, goals? And from there, is that traffic highly relevant, to the point where those visitors become conversions - meaning how many of them take that next step after arriving that I am seeking? Such as filling out specific forms, or making specific purchases, or whatever the metric is.
that data, over time, is what matters way more than ranking numbers.
Just my experience.

It doesn't matter. PR means nothing, zero, zilch
It's your MozRanks you want to watch, not Page Rank. True Page Rank (as in what Google really thinks) is not shown to any of us, but is likely fairly close to what MozRank shows. The Page Rank you see for your site is meaningless and doesn't reflect true PR in any way.

Is there a way for me to find out how a keyword would rank if it were on a specific site?
Is there a way for me to find out how a keyword would rank if it were on a specific site? For example, lets say that XYZ.com does not have the keyword "ABC". Is there a way for me to find out how the keyword "ABC" would rank if it were on XYZ.com?

Get into Google : New Sites
I have a brand new website. It was created 10 days ago. How long would it take for it to show up in search results? I understand that since the site is new, there are no sites sending it backlinks. Also, i have optimized the page for my keyword "xyz" and it received an A grade. The site does not figure even in the top 50 results. Please help me out. It is a one page web application that needs to drive traffic to survive.

Page Ranking by URL / Keyword
Needing to know how to find out the page rank of a URL that is NOT within the top 50 or top 100. Need to know that specific page's rank, not what our overall site's ranking for the keyword is. Can't seem to find any tool that goes beyond the top 100. Any ideas?

"On-Page Report Card"- why is still showing " F grade" after introducing the keyword in page and title.
Hello, "On-Page Report Card"- why is still showing " F grade" after introducing the keyword in page and title. After changing the title and putting the keyword inside the title, in this section, "Exact Keyword Usage in Page Title", it shows the first title, without updating my changes. I have updated several times. In some cases worked, in this case doesn't. For example "online project management software" grades F, and "project management software" grades A, even if I've put the "online" word in title an so on. Now I have the same issue with "stock management software" which grades F. "stock management" grades A, even if i've put exactly "stock management software" thanks.

Ranking report and language
Unfortunately I noticed a huge problem in rank tracker amd ranking report. My site is in italian and I configurate the ranking report using google italy. The problem is that the ranking is related to www.google.it but using a browser set with english language!! Infact for a specific keyword the ranking position is 8 (using english) and 12 (using italian). This is a huge problem for me and makes useless any report! F

Old Incoming Links Redirected to new pages are not Being Factored on the Open Site Explorer
Hi, My website has been online since 1994. We have old links pointing to pages that no longer exist so what we have done is to create redirects to the specific page where the content is being displayed now. However, when we use the Open Site Explorer, the linking root domains do not show those sites that contain old links pointing to our domain. One good example of this one is: dmoz.org. Am I improperly handling the redirects? Or, what do I have to do so that old links that are being redirected to the new pages where the information is are accounted when calculating domain authority and trust? Thanks, Alex
