Blog zero PR

[Cocoonfxmedia]

Hi

I am trying to establish why my main pages on my site has a PR2 but my Blog is PR0. Even though the traffic is spread between the blog and the main site.  I also want to get to PR3 but I seem to never get close...

Any advise would be very much appreciated...

Hi,

You need back links to your blog as well as your home page to be able to increase your PR.

What I would do is submit articles from your blog to Directories, other websites and Blogs.

You also need backlinks to your blog page withanchor text inline with the search term keywords that you are trying to rank for.

Toolbar page rank only updates a few times a year. Usually the best use for it is selling or links. Otherwise, a much better metric to look at is how is your traffic doing, are you getting visitors, conversions, etc.

It sounds like links to your site goes to the homepage hence it has PR. This will trickle down to the pages the homepage links to. If you have 50 pages linked off the homepage each will get 1/50th fraction of the PR your homepage can possibly pass. Technically if your blog was the ONLY link from your homepage all the PR your homepage could pass would be passed to the blog and then from the blog to the pages the blog links to and on and on....

So yes to get PR3 on your blog you need to get people to link to it directly but also look how how you can design your website to make the blog page more the focus and channel the homepage PR if that is your goal.

ps. I don't recommend the blog page being the only page linked from your homepage in 99.999999% of websites!
