Grey PR

[valerian]

Hi all,

My site is in the index since March.
One Google Dance, and one full crawl this month.
But my site still has a grey PR.

Is this normal? Do i have to wait for the next google dance to have a normal PR?

Thank you for your replies,

:-)

i wouldnt be worried just yet, maybe after next update. IS the bar grey or white? AFAIK a grey bar indicates not being in the index, but white indicates 0PR which is common for newish sites.

hi mike,
my website is in the index (about 12 pages), and the bar is grey.

Normal.

This is normal for Google and you can expect them to crawl your site deeper as time goes on and see it firmly established.

Valerian, I'm in a very very similar position, so I hope it's normal. Especially Tony_Perry saying we'll get crawled deeper as time goes on.

Just wanted to let you know there's other newbies out here with the same problem.

Hey, wanna swap a reciprocal link? <jk!> :)

I had the same thing happen but that does not matter now 5 months down the line. No1 for all search terms. Hang in their and dont fret

*Very* good advice.

The internet is a fast moving game, but everyone seems to want to establish their website in 2 weeks flat! Yes, it is possible to do that, but you need to rely on so much luck (with freshbot etc) it's unlikely.

Just keep building the site up with content and follow the SEO advice on here as best you can (unless it's detrimental to your *users*) and you'll be fine.

Oddly enough, I put a site together in January that is still a white bar (PR0), and have two new sites launched in late February but not promoted until March that are both PR4 and I expect them to grow in the next dance.

I think I probably need to work on the links to the January site our there!

Mornin' first time on a forum so bare with me..

I've been reading a lot of the other postings on this site to do with PR and 'not ranked' - It all seems to make logical sense.

At the moment I have a reasonably well ranked site with PR5 (and gunning for the 6!). I am quite maticulous about who and where I get links from (despite a few errors in the early stages - no harm done! *phew*)

I recently re-vamped my link directory into categories and locations (national/overseas etc) and now most of the links pages are 'not ranked'. I can understand that this is because Google has yet to discover the new pages and their respective new names but just today I added a completely new page to another of my sites (PR4) and instantly it has a PR3!?! How is this possible! (not that I'm complaining!)
