I am convinced I have an internal PR problem, thoughts please?
-
I have lost all internal PR on my site when using the browser toolbar, only my homepage has PR now, the rest are unranked. It has been like this for a few months now.
Can anyone confirm this for me please? The site is yourcityoffice.com
If you have any other interesting ways to check PR that do not involve a toolbar or tool bar equivalent. Please let me know.

We were hit by Panda and Penguin and got an unnatural link penalty way back in 2012, Staff at Google confirmed there was no issue, however I have confirmation that we have STILL not recovered from a penguin refresh yet! Even after all this time. However as of yesterday my pagerank is back on all my sub pages!
Maybe this is the first sign of an actual recovery. Even though the pagrank back in the day was a steady 6 with the odd occasion of a 7.

Hey Gary,
Is your traffic OK? Have you been banned?
If neither of those things are issues I wouldn't worry about toolbar PageRank.

Definitely http not https
Ok this gets more strange, I just check on my cell phone as well with wifi switched off and I still get n/a for pagerank on 5 different sites.
PA and DA show up correctly.
What the hell is going on? My business partner in the UK is experiencing the same issues as well as others I have spoken too.
I really need to get to the bottom of this issue, but I am at a total loss right now.

Just in case, you are not trying to look up the PR for the HTTPS version of it. Are you?
https://www.yourcityoffice.com/office-space.php
You cannot check Google PR for HTTPS pages by the way on many websites.
-
Gary, for the page, http://www.yourcityoffice.com/office-space.php
the PR is 3. Checked with different tools and they all show the same. Very strange.
-
How bizarre... have you tried using OSE or AHREFS to see if that displays any PA & DA? Have you tried using PR checker? http://www.prchecker.info/check_page_rank.php

Just installed search status on firefox on another computer and have the same issue! That computer has never ever loaded up my website and is on a totally different operating system etc...
WTF? LOL
-
Same with PaRameter Pagerank 0, I cant understand what is going on.
The homepage says PR5 so I know its not the tools
-
Strange... have you tried using a different computer? Clearing browser cache, cookies etc. (not sure if that has anything to do with it)
-
I just used installed Status Seo Chrome tool bar and it says PR 0 for the same page? i just dont understand it?
-
Agree with Manny. Your site is absolutely fine Gary. I use the Search Status plugin on Firefox. You can also use PaRameter to check the Google PR for bulk URLs. Here you go: http://www.cleverstat.com/en/page-rank-software.htm
By the way, PaRameter is free
Best,

PR5 for home page and PR3 for http://www.yourcityoffice.com/office-space.php using PageRank Status Seo Chrome tool bar.
I use the MOZ bar for PA DA
-
What PR did the page say? Also what tool do you use to see the PA & DA?
-
Hi Gary, i had a look at your site seems fine to me.
When i checked http://www.yourcityoffice.com/serviced-office-united-kingdom.php i get a PA27 and DA46
I get 55 and 46 on your home page.Maybe try reinstalling the tool bar? I find the one in Firefox works best, Chrome is slow to load at time.
Ciao,
Manny.

International SEO And Duplicate Content Within The Same Language
Hello, Currently, we have a .com English website serving an international clientele. As is the case we do not currently target any countries in Google Search Console. However, the UK is an important market for us and we are seeing very low traffic (almost entirely US). We would like to increase visibility in the UK, but currently for English speakers only. My question is this - would geo-targeting a subfolder have a positive impact on visibility/rankings or would it create a duplicate content issue if both pieces of content are in English? My plan was: 1. Create a geo-targeted subfolder (website.com/uk/) that copies our website (we currently cannot create new unique content) 2. Go into GSC and geo-target the folder to the UK 3. Add the following to the /uk/ page to try to negate duplicate issues. Additionally, I can add a rel=canonical tag if suggested, I just worry as an already international site this will create competition between pages However, as we are currently only targeting a location and not the language at this very specific point, would adding a ccTLD be advised instead? The threat of duplicate content worries me less here as this is a topic Matt Cutts has addressed and said is not an issue. I prefer the subfolder method as to ccTLD's, because it allows for more scalability, as in the future I would like to target other countries and languages. Ultimately right now, the goal is to increase UK traffic. Outside of UK backlinks, would any of the above URL geo-targeting help drive traffic? Thanks

Does Google index internal anchors as separate pages?
Hi, Back in September, I added a function that sets an anchor on each subheading (h[2-6]) and creates a Table of content that links to each of those anchors. These anchors did show up in the SERPs as JumpTo Links. Fine. Back then I also changed the canonicals to a slightly different structur and meanwhile there was some massive increase in the number of indexed pages - WAY over the top - which has since been fixed by removing (410) a complete section of the site. However ... there are still ~34.000 pages indexed to what really are more like 4.000 plus (all properly canonicalised). Naturally I am wondering, what google thinks it is indexing. The number is just way of and quite inexplainable. So I was wondering: Does Google save JumpTo links as unique pages? Also, does anybody know any method of actually getting all the pages in the google index? (Not actually existing sites via Screaming Frog etc, but actual pages in the index - all methods I found sadly do not work.) Finally: Does somebody have any other explanation for the incongruency in indexed vs. actual pages? Thanks for your replies! Nico

Index problems
“The website http://www.vaneyckshutters.com/nl/ does not show in the index of Google (site:vaneyckshutters.com/nl/). This must be the homepage in the Netherlands. Previously, the page www.vaneyckshutters.com was redirected to /nl/. This page is accessible now with a canonical tag to http://www.vaneyckshutters.com/nl/ in the hope to let /nl/ be indexed. When we look at the SERPS for keyword ‘shutters’, the page http://www.vaneyckshutters.com/ is shown in Google.nl on #32 and in Belgium #3. Problem & question: Why is it that /nl/ has not been indexed properly and why is it that we rank with http://www.vaneyckshutters.com on ‘shutters’ instead the/nl/ page?”

Should i change the url name for serp plural from singular to plural please advise
Hi, I have an established ecommerce site online since 2008 when I set it up I did not really think about it and i called it mywidget. However the traffic is minimum 10 times higher for plural and all the long tails ie bluewidgets, cheapwidgets are all plural. I rank very well on the widget but not widgets - I know there is more competition but still it would be best to have the most commonly used phrases in the url. Now I have registered mywidgets should i transfer my shop to mywidgets and setup a permanen redirect 301 for all the products url and categories. I'm guessing I will be negatively impacted in the short term but in the long term it should be worth it. Would you agree sorry its a massive decision for me and any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks

High pr doc files
I saw that the website www.comunicatedepresa.net outranks www.comunicatedepresa.ro for the therm "comunicate de presa" in google.ro SERP even though .ro beats .net in every seo indicator (links, domains linking, fb likes, g+, onpage etc) I saw that site:www.comunicatedepresa.net returns a lot of *.doc files with a title that contains the kw ("comunicate de presa"). Ex: www.comunicatedepresa.net/worddoc/1485/ It seems a little suspicios to me.Did anyone see this before (google giving higher importance to doc files)? Does anyone know why .net site is ranking better?
