How-To: Your Site's Google PageRank and Alexa Traffic Rank |
|
 So you want your site to reach a greater audience at web search engines? Don't know where you stand? Well...
Interestingly, I noticed today that "http://nukecops.com/" has a Google PageRank of 7 out of 10. And "http://www.nukecops.com/" has a PageRank of 6 out of 10. Alexa's Traffic Rank has both of these URLs at 10,789. To check, the easiest way is to download the Google & Alexa Toolbars. Just remember, the higher the PageRank (-->10) the more your site shows up in results. Alexa's equivalent for Traffic Rank is a lower number (-->1).

By default the PageRank for Google might be disabled, so you need to enable it. Be sure to understand their privacy guidelines for both of these prior to installation.
The mother of all Nuke sites ("http://phpnuke.org"):
PageRank: 8/10
Traffic Rank: 4,260
What's your site ranks?
Check a couple out because for Nuke Cops, these are the pagerank findings:
- http://nukecops.com --> 7/10
- http://nukecops.com/index.php --> 6/10
- http://www.nukecops.com --> 6/10
- http://www.nukecops.com/index.php --> 6/10

(User Info | Send a Message) | The difference you're noticing between www and non-www has to deal with those linking to you. Some are using www while others are using non-www. I think Google doesn't make them the same because www is technically a subdomain and some people actually show different pages for them.
If a person goes around his site, he'll see different page ranks. There's like 100 or more criteria Google's algorithm uses to come up with that number. For example, inbound links from same subject sites carry far more weight than those totally unrelated. A link towards the top of the page carries more weight than those in the footer.
It's a neat thing for webmasters, but I don't think many in the general public understand or use it. If you see a grey bar on a site, most likely it's on Google's blacklist, and you should stay away from it.

(User Info | Send a Message) | First thing you have to do is look at your site objectively and from a bot's perspective. If you have problems imagining what your pages look like to a bot then you can use this tool: http://www.gritechnologies.com/tools/spider.go?q=google.com
All the pages have the exact same header, footer, left, and right blocks. So, the bots' algorithms are written to consider this as duplicate info. Now, take a look at what you have left on your pages. Remember bots do NOT consider images, flash, javascript...just plain text. Not much there right? Well, that's what you need to improve on. Your articles and other pages need to be longer with good text at least until you attract people who start making comments to help you out.
Next, it appears Google is having problems indexing some of your pages. This can be seen here: http://www-cw.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=site%3Achicagobase.com+-zyxzyxzyx See all the pages that don't have a cache. Either your server was down when he came by or something is off in those pages. If your server goes down a lot, you might want to consider moving because every time a bot comes by and it's down most likely they'll drop those pages in the index or in Google's case it pulls the cache until it tries a couple more times.
Lastly, you need links. This is from one of google's datacenters that gets updated pretty fast. Look at your site. Google shows no links:
http://www-cw.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=link%3Awww.chicagobase.com
http://www-cw.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=link%3Achicagobase.com
So, I recommend you go find some national/local directories and other sites related to your subject matter and ask if they will link to you. Some will require you link back which is okay. Some will say no but don't get discouraged over those. Getting a direct link is what you need not one from a site that serves up a cgi or php script redirect to yours. You can still get those but they won't help you with Page Rank. To see whether the other site is penalized (grey not white bar), download Google's toolbar. The higher the other site's PR, the more weight the inbound link is, and the more the bot will return to index yours. Stay away from link farms, webrings, and any site that focuses on link trading.
After you get just a few targeted links and give Googlebot some meatier content to index. You should be able to get rid of the 0. If a site is brand new, it does take about a month or so before rank is assigned. |

Look around
