Why is the Warrior Forum's Page Rank only 5?

13 years ago

PR 5 is not really a low or average PR. I bet someone else has the statistics, but I would bet that about 95% of the webpages in existence are a PR 2 or below.

Also, traffic and Alexa rankings have nothing to do with PR.

Thanks

There are lot of outbound links are going out from warriorforum either through ads or through signatures, that might be the reason.

PR5 is really worth as well, you can post more content to change that one as an authority site, so that the links from those sites are more powerful

Very good theory. Makes sense.
I didn't think about the Outbound links.

It's true, WF sends out Loads of Do-Follow Backlinks, like in all of our Linked Signatures.

That could be a reason for it's lower PR.

Reddit has more outbound links than this forum will ever have and yet it's PR8. The reason why WF is only PR5 is because the highest dofollow backlink it has is a PR6.

  Pagerank is exponential like the earthquake system. a magnitude 5 is ten time a magnitude 4. Pagerank is measured similarly. But it is all of the outbound links as everyone pointed out.
  
  Here's what it's like to climb the pagerank mountain

@Mike:
Thanks for your reply. You could be right.

I don't doubt this:

95% of the webpages in existence are a PR 2 or below

Maybe more like 99.9%, if you are talking about "webpages", since the internet is filled with loads of junk all over the place.

95% of Domains, yeah possibly even more than that, are below PR2; Millions and Millions of Junk Domains out there also.

---

Also, traffic and Alexa rankings have nothing to do with PR.

Yup I know how Alexa work, but I think it's safe to say that WarriorForum is in the Top 500 Sites in terms of Traffic Globally, Alexa or not.

Alexa will favor this site a little more, since it's a "Webmaster" site.

Thanks

It could be the #1 site in terms of traffic. That makes no difference. Traffic does not impact PR. The ONLY thing that impacts PR is incoming backlinks.

Traffic, content, etc. have nothing to do with PR.

I understand you.

You're correct.

I was referring to it's overall popularity, which should imply that thousands of sites are linking to Warrior Forum, raising it's Authority and PR.

More Popular = More people link to your site

Domains do not have PR. Web pages do. The index page of the "domain" is what
has PR, not the domain.

Outbound links now affect PR. If you are "selling" links on a high PR page,
for PR, your PR could get lowered. Or if they think you are buying them.

The WF is a solid PR5. I am only assuming that the flood of links, even though
not sold, are still placed here for any spare PR. That could be a factor in
the PR of the WF.

But the authority is without question. Hence the threads routinely show
in in SERPs for just about anything. Ditto wikipedia. Wikipedia has
many PR n/a pages, but the authority and google love is beyond reproach.

I would imagine there are many PR5 sites that are junk, and would not
show up in SERPs even if their webmaster's life depended on it.

Playboy.com is PR6. What does that mean in relation to the WF?
Nothing.

But of course their are always those who can't help but chime in about
PR not meaning anything. Fat chance. PR means quite a bit, but there
is more to being found high in SERPs. Anyone who keeps saying PR
means nothing is just showing they know nothing.

Well put. When you really think about it, PR doesn't quite matter as much as you might think.

This url has about 1000 root linking domains from an old version of the site: http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/

It should probably 301 redirect to the new homepage.

I think a PR5 is a reflection of the Warrior Forum's generosity in allowing so many outbound links. Many forums don't allow any at all from its posters.

So as the old saying goes: "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth." ;-)

PR goes up exponentially.

At the end of the day this place isn't a particularly large or popular site. Not when you compare it to somewhere like 4chan.

PR5 is already high, so I guess WF is just doing fine. I think the average PR is 3.

You don't want to put too much emphasis in Alexa. It's not on a wide scale. It only has to do with those that have downloaded the Alexa toolbar. You really can't put too much weight on Alexa.

I believe Warrior Forum used to have a higher Pagerank two or so years ago if I'm not mistaken. It may not have high PR but it does have a lot of authority as a lot of its discussion show up on first and second page of Google within a day or two of their posting here.

Its generosity with links is much appreciated but it also has an inverse effect of their worth. A link on one of the forums which are very stingy with their links can propel your site in SERPs while links on this forum do very little to lift the fortune of a site.

For a site this large, I am showing only about 3600 domains pointing to this site. It shows you that Warrior does VERY LITTLE Link Building. It is almost all natural. They get lots of traffic because of all the content. This is just further evidence that link building tools are not the way to go.
