Page Rank of 3 in just 6 weeks!

Am I wrong, or is 'speed' irrelevant when it comes to PageRank? One big link obtained within a week is as valuable as the same link 6 weeks from now.

Personally, I just look at traffic sources and then rankings for seo, since a very low PR rating (0 or 1) can rank better than a high PR site if it is targeting the keyword you want to target.

That is, a low PR site targeting keyword X will rank better than a high PR site that has keyword X on it, but is not optimized for that keyword.

Otherwise, the high PR sites would appear at the top of the listings for every search, which would be ridiculous.

Of course, getting a PR 3 so fast is good. Nice job Quentin. Although when I fired up my old IE6 to check your site, it came back with errors then crashed the browser. I'll blame Microsoft.

I started my blog on the same date (19th of May or so) and hit PageRank 4 on June 23th, when Google updated visible PR. I did this with blog commenting and social bookmarking, something I was doing anyway, so the PR jump happened by accident for me

Note that even if the new blog is only a month and couple of weeks old, there's some old content that I imported from my old blogspot blogs, one from late 2005 and another started earlier this year before moving to WordPress, both PageRank 0. I did html/javascript redirect (not .htaccess 301) from the old blogs, to get the search engine traffic I had to my new blog for the old posts. That old content might or might not have impacted getting the PR4 so fast.

Fast PageRank != Traffic

But as Kindsvater also pointed out, it's more important to target the correct keywords than shoot for high ranking (at start), so having PR4 doesn't mean anything unless it's bringing traffic and I haven't seen much benefit (yet) from the PR. I'm getting traffic from the posts and articles that are among the 1-9 results in Google, PR 0 or not.

That doesn't mean it doesn't make me feel good that I hit that rank, as I have not had even PR1 before

In case interested, read the whole story from my blog (signature link) and look for "PageRank" in the recommended section on top right or do a search if it's no longer there..

WOW ! very fantastic work and its possible because Dallas SEO company do many times this things.

Good job, I haven't seen a website get page rank 3 in 6 week....

PR 6 in 6 weeks is possible. I had a similar case. (I don´t remember if it was exactly 6 weeks, but it was fast). However I lost one point since the last update and now have PR2.

Relevance can beat high PR. But usually on the profitable keywords you are not the only one who is relevant. To beat the others you need high PR. But even with building high PR fast there still is the sandbox. You may have PR3 but you aren´t on the first page after 6 weeks. Quick ranking works only for keywords only a few people show interest in and where you can on the first page only by being relevant.

It is just an amazing result. Me too have got PR4 for a new site which is just 30 days old. Can you guess the secret behind it?
