How Long It Took Your New Domain Name TO Get A PR1 Rank ?

[nicolas simpson]

I am curious as to how long it took you guys to get your very first PR1 rank with a fresh domain name. I ask this because i bought a fresh domain name in January 2011 and i am working hard to get a a PR rank for it.

Being a beginner i had two goals :

1. < 500,000 Alexa rank
2. PR1 rank within a year.

So far i accomplish my Alexa goal, but i am optimistic about getting that PR rank.

If there are any suggestions please feel free to do so along with your answer.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think there's really a solid way to get PR on your domain. Google updates the page rank of many sites every 2-3 months and their algorithms are tough to figure out. Best thing you can do is keep providing quality traffic so Google will hopefully see the importance of your site soon.

How long long it took you to get your 1st PR1 rank?

Hi Nicolas, PR is pretty arbitrary and unreliable, and actually signifies very little.

The last page rank updates from Google were about 3 months ago, as I recall, but the previous time page ranks were updated, before that, was actually 9 months earlier.

Nobody knows whether/when Google will update them again, but it really doesn't matter. You can see this from the way lower-PR pages so often outrank higher-PR pages in Google's SERP's.

Paying money in to the bank is a far better, more reliable, more significant and more realistic way to monitor how your site's doing than these comparatively arbitrary, artificial, numerical constructs.

From my understanding keyword positioning should be a more focused goal than PR. I'm not exactly sure just what PR signifies in regards to keywords because you can have pr0 in number 1 keyword spot instead of a pr4 or 1 etc.

PR from what I understand is roughly balanced between the backlinks, quality and the link levels within your own site, a page that every other page links to HAS to be more important...thats how my terms of sales page accidentally became the focus for google...I suspect, no proof obviously.

Completely agree .The money is evidence of how you are doing. It does not matter what your alexa rank if you are not earning any money

Hey thanks guys, i did not know that it was not so important, however i think it makes your site/blog a bit more credible from a views perspective.

Its better to focus on one or two key phrases and work on getting on the first page for that term. If you are able to do that you will generate more qualified visitors.

I can say this. I built about 20 adsense blogs about a year ago. Most were setup with one form or another with autocontent. The two that I handheld and created 100 % unique content for both have page rank. Neither have more than 5 pages of content. One of them is PR1 and the other is PR2. Of course none of the autoblogs have PR

I think it took me a year plus, now is three years, it has PR2

[sojibrahman]

normaly it makes up 3 month to create a pagrank for your website.

Thanks for the comments guess.

[nicolas simpson]

ok, so you are telling me that auto blogs take more time to get PR from google. Thanks for the tip.
