Page Rank Surprise

OK, so I've got a site that is 9 weeks old. There are 34 indexed pages (including sitemap, privacy etc) with unique content, there are 62 incoming links. Links are your typical ones from blogs, article directories and bookmarking. No high octane links at all.

At the recent PR update my site went from a 0 to a PR of 3!! Six internal pages have a PR of 2, and four have a PR 1.

And here I always thought that the number of links had to do with your PR.

Can anyone explain how this new site could have gotten a PR 3?

It is a very tight niche with closely related sub niches. All pages have a lot of naturally occurring keywords, the site was set up using a silo structure.

If I know what it was I did, unless Google just made a mistake...lol... I'd love to repeat it on all my sites.

    Hi Evita

    Without looking at your site it's impossible to say but from what you have written you have given Google what it wants and it has rewarded you.

    Tightly themed site, relevant authority links and great content, just as G likes!

    The number of links has nothing to do with PR.

    Well done.

    Hi Evita,

    If you site content is original having a specific theme with backlinks from related sites/blogs/forums with good PR then you can get PR pretty quickly.

    I had a site which went to PR3 just after 5 weeks of the launch.

    My content was original, strict theme and only 10 backlinks from high PR relevant sites/forums.

    It is great to see such a quick increase in PR.. The best thing you do is to repeat the magic.. Try the same thing with another domain..It it works then you have the formula with you..

    Yup, I'll continue to build more links. This site is a dud. But maybe someone wants a couple of links from it ;-)
