      Hi All

      My site is live for a year now. I;m getting tons of traffic (alexa 54k) and business are good. The only problem is that I have 0 page rank....I have checked again and again the site;s structure to see if there is anything wrong with the site but everything seems to be ok. Google just added search links to the site (megamoneygames) which looks very nice. For example, none of my competitors have search links but they all have page rank of 4 while I have 0. In addition, for some reason the site's age (days) shows 0 although it is live for a year now...

      Do you have any idea of what is going on? do I have errors in the site?

      Thanks

        Time for some link building - you need quality links.

        By SEOmoz metrics DA, PA you look fine, but looking at the actual links you have coming in to the homepage is the key

        Via Open Site Explorer you have only 33 linking domains, and they all look terribly low quality. I would bet on Google devaluing a number of them

        Do some link analysis on your competitors and as step 1, try and duplicate the links they have that are working for them. Step 2 is to try find some unique ones they dont have

          Hi There

          thank you for your response. I do think that I need some serious link building. However it is very strange that I have 0 page rank for a year now. I've built several sites in the past (many sites) and all of them got at least 1 page rank....this one has tons of traffic, it is built very well but the rank is still 0. In addition, it seems that Google thinks that the site is completely new..

            0 page rank is based on the ToolBar PageRank?  Are you aware TBPR is both inaccurate and not updated more than a couple or at most a few times a year?  It's NOT the real PageRank your site has.

            Focus on continuing to do what you have been, and now emphasize quality link building.  Leave the TBPR concerns to others while you continue to get results and improve on them! Just a suggestion anyhow.
