I have unintentionally figured out a way to raise page rank fast even from a new domain.

I decided to launch a product, so I bought a domain and instead of outsourcing to have a sales page written I sat down, away from the computer, with pen and paper and quickly wrote up a salesletter from scratch.

I used the salesletter on my salespage and of course it was original content.

I never continued with the product launch neither did I drive traffic to the site but instead I just forgot about it.

4 weeks later I remembered that I had bought the domain and decided to check my page rank. Its pagerank had shot up from 0 to 2.

I then checked my backlinks to see if that had any contribution towards a pagerank of 2. It did not because my domain has 0 backlinks.

Now I realize that pagerank increases automatically with just 100% original content.

It also goes to show that no seo whatsoever is needed to raise pagerank because my site has no metatags.

Just a cheap domain and original content can give a high pagerank.

Money spent: $9.99

    How did you check your backlinks? Different tools show different results. And.. Are you sure that your domain didn't have any backlinks BEFORE you bought this domain? If it is really new, then I should congratulate you

      To check my backlinks I used:
      backlinkwatch
      backlinkcheck
      searchbliss
      bluebacklinks

      When I bought the domain it had 0 backlinks

    It's really strange, as Google PageRank algorithm is totally based on backlinkd (dofollow).
    So I can't understand how is it possible?

          Firsty I was going to ask sadek if he has a source for what he said, but then I though its a silly question.

          Google made a lot of improvements to their algorithm. I bet there is a lot more to care about than just dofollow backlinks. However, this is just my view.

            For rankings, yes.

            For pagerank, it is still based on backlinks alone.

              Yes, backlink is alone sufficient for pagerank. backlinksindexer is good for quality backlink.

    what is the url of your site. I find it hard to believe that you have a pr of 2 with no links and in the space of 4 weeks. maybe some links are not showing up in whatever tool you are using to check the backlinks.

    A brand new site with 0 backlinks will definitely not go to PR2 based on just content.

    Either you bought an aged domain with PR that was dropped, or there are backlinks that you aren't aware of.

    Hi Page rank is most important part for websites you backlink more with do-follow so your page rank is high.

  • Why still people believe in page rank as it is not accurate, for example Online Business Ideas , this site is having page rank 10, tell me how come?

    I was under the impression Google only updated Page Rank a couple of times a year? Confused.

    This is very strange.One thing i can tell.Let's say i write unique content and get 2 or 3 high value backlinks from site like 6 or 7 page rank then it is possible to get page rank. But your case sounds like this domain in past was active.

      It has to have some backlinks hidden away there somewhere. And there was a PR update a couple of weeks ago.

      Unique content is great but backlinks are where your PR will come from.

      Nothing terribly unusual about this thread. Of course its false that content alone gets you pagerank but didn't the OP tell us directly he was selling a new technique he stumbled on.

      Pre launch threads on WF - nothing new to see here folks. Move along and enjoy your day
