Does Page Rank Increase Without Backlinks If Quality Content Is Added Constantly?

Boris_yo · 08-07-2010, 08:19 AM

I have heard that domain can aquire Page Rank without backlinks, just by often publishing quality information. Well i don't think so now, after i saw this website:

http://www.businessideafactory.com/

According to WhoIs it was created in 2002, has ~50 backlinks and ZERO?! Page Rank. I think 8 years is enough for a website to get some Page Rank, but not with this site.

In summary this negates the fact that Page Rank is aquired with content and without backlinks.

What do you people think?

Right, I think pagerank is determined by the number and quality of inbound links to a site as Goolgle sees these as "votes" for your sites.

Hi Boris_yo,

Yes, you indeed can acquire PageRank by publishing often. However, in the example you provided there aren't that many pages indexed on that site to make much of a noticeable difference. That website has only 48 indexed pages and the site seems to have been online for 6 years, not 8. That is only an average of 8 pages published per year, not exactly what I would call publishing often.

PageRank is always determined by the number of direct and indirect links, so a website that has optimized internal link structure will acquire link juice from internal content. Take note that this is a small amount per page but it does accumulate in large websites. Naturally, links from external websites inject PageRank into the website and this is reflected throught your website based on how well optimized your internal links are structured.

PR is the measure of backlinks and the quality of those backlinks to your site nothing more. So if you build pages and link back to your other pages within those pages I don't see why not.

I mean you are technically creating backlinks aren't you.

A backlink is a link from 1 page to another. Technically if you link from 1 of the pages on your site to another you are creating a backlink.

Now there are internal links and external links and external links are more powerful. But they all count as backlinks.
