Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We joined our Chamber of Commerce for the "link" as much as anything.  After 9 months of having a link from our local chamber it has never showed up anywhere.  You can see the link on my Chambers page, and you can click on it and it works.  But it does not show up anywhere else....Not in any backlink checker,  not in SEOmoz, not in Google Webmaster Tools. When I hover over our link on their page I see "javascript:encodeclick........my url" Is this link worth anything?  What is a javascriptencodeclick?  Does Google know it exists and give me credit for it?  Our Chamber is clueless... they hire someone to do their website.  Their webmasters response to my question was: Hi, These links look like this because this is just the way our system parses URLs that are entered into the membership directory so they can be clickable when displayed in the lister. These links will not have a negative effect on Google or SEO indexing purposes if that is what you are concerned about. They are not encoded or encrypted, this just happens to be the name of the Javascript function.

My site (http://www.bluedotlandscaping.com) has recently been redone.  Although I have been online for about 9 years, we have never before done SEO.  My Google PR is 0.  With a lot of work the last 3-5 months we have gotten a MozRank of 3.55.  (DA 26 and MozTrust 4.36) What do you think are reasonable expectations? Does Google update often? Is a jump from a PR of 0 to 3 reasonable? If my site does go to a PR of 3, will I see a noticeable change in my keyword rankings? Thanks for your help. Rich
