Building Page Rank
-
I have a situation where there is a product category page with multiple products listed linking to individual product pages. The pages been around some time with no change. The strange thing is although page rank is reasonable on the category page it doesn't seem to be passing any rank to the individual product pages.
Any ideas to swing the roundabouts on this?
Thanks

Page Authority is a measure of a page's link strength, so to raise it you'll likely need to get some high-quality external links to those pages.
Check out this article on Page Authority (and this one on Domain Authority).

Sorry I meant PA (Moz), not PR.
I know it isn't everything but it is a big indicator.
First level (homepage) seems to be ok.
Second level nav, seems to be very similar
but very little if anything seems to be passing to anything beyond or including third level.
It is only a low authority site, however the keyword I'm going after is very low competition. Unless I can get page authority up a tad of got no chance of ranking it.

Are you referring to the toolbar PageRank (the green bar)? If so, it hasn't been updated in ages and most likely never will be again.
That said, this was only a visual representation of what Google saw. PageRank as a Google metric is still performed internally and as far as I know, in realtime so PageRank passes - you just don't see it.
If you're referring to "page rank" meaning the actual rankings of a page - for that we'd need to see the pages themselves to know why they're not ranking is the category pages are doing OK.

How can I find page 1 google keyword rankings for a certain page?
Not sure if someone has a tool for this yet or not... Say I have a page like this: http://www.merchantcircle.com/business/Spokane.Painting.Pros.509-210-2799 and I would like to find out what keywords this page ranks for on google. Is there any tool that I can paste in that link and it would give me keywords that it ranks well for? Other than the SEO moz rank checker. It's not like I want to run a campaign just for links like that but I might want to build some links to citations like that so I can move those citations up in the rankings.

Friendly and pages regular expression
Hi, I am trying to fix this with a reg expression but I dont know how. Here is the example: I would like to have my link like this: mysite.com/noticias/123/here-comes-the-title-page-2 I have a mod_rewrite rule with this: RewriteRule ^/noticias/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)-(pagina)-([0-9]+)$ /myphp.php?&id=$1&ipag=$4 [L,NC] It doesnt work. I think that the problem resides here ([a-zA-Z0-9-]+) because the title is split with "-" and the rule doenst know when the title finish. Now, if I have a rule like this it works: mysite.com/noticias/123/here-comes-the-title_page-2 RewriteRule ^/noticias/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)_(pagina)-([0-9]+)$ /myphp.php?&id=$1&ipag=$4 [L,NC] How can I fix this to have a "-pagina" instead of "_pagina" Thanks

Which link building method is most effective?
I have been looking at different seo companies for link building. I found a ranked list on Topseos.com. Many of them offer the same services as offshore SEOs, namely: Article marketing blog comments forum comments/profiles bookmarking PR directories Link acquisition by contacting relevants sites and negotiating a fee for a link I know that custom link acquisition is the most effective, but it gets very expensive. And, you don't know what each link is going to cost you. Here are my questions: Of the other methods (other thank custom link acquisition), how would you rank their effectiveness? The other methods seem kinda gimmicky, is it worth the time/money? Have you seen sites rank well for competitve keywords using articles/bookmarking/blog comments/directories etc? How do you know i a company is going to them manually as they claim? as opposed to using some automated software. Thanks
