Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

I know that pagerank is not of that much importance but still I got few question regarding pagerank that I wish to be answered by senior seomoz staff!

1. I heard that the pagerank is used in determination of original content by different ways i.e higher pagerank site get indexed faster and have low chance of easily penalized
2. Higher pagerank website entitles you to get your newly written content indexed/ranked well without any backlinks just based on internal links.

I would like to know in detail about above two statements, and lastly I would appreciate if I can get help regarding dmoz listing or any other listing that worth it in terms of pagerank optimization.

Most high pagerank websites are quite strict in linking to other sites, and those who sells link on the site doesn't seems worthfull!

Detailed insight is appreciated on each and every point.

Thanks in advance

In my opinion you should add "keyword analysis" into your plan as you will need to have your targeted keywords handy for anchor text when requesting / creating a backlink from any other website.

Also looking for keywords that are not well targeted by your competitors would be an easy job for you to gain.

The plan is actually good and you should have done it from the start.

Consider link worth from spammy site as 0.2 as compare to a link from great resource as 8.

so if you loose 40 links from spammy site, and gained one link from good site it will be balanced or more beneficial.

Don't worry about loosing your reciprocal links if you intend to work on the plan of gaining more links from reputable sites!

I hope you have already got your answer i.e "No, you can't rank well without backlinks" but let me remind you that if you have an excellent site with some decent pagerank let's say pr 5 or 6, and you are linking to your newly written 2000 words article sitewide, there is a great chance that you will rank for it.

Backlink is usually considered as external link, however site internal linking factor also plays vital role for getting your content indexed and ranked well!

As it's my first ever response, I would appreciate insights from other experts.
