Next question is about pagerank, is pagerank only a measure of how many pages link to that site?
What effect does having more pages on your site have on rankings and PR?
One last thing, how does the googlebot work? As far as i understand it, the main googlebot indexes the main page for your site and then hand it over to the freshbot (if a deeper crawl needs to be done). Hoiw long does it take to happen...
Any replies would be great thanks, and sorry if i posted this in the wrong place or there is a faq somewhere that can answer this :)
Google Knowledge Base [webmasterworld.com]
but there are a few sites that link and have had higher prs but the ony one i can think of has actually dissapeared now so i cant check its pagerank.
Actually, it makes no difference with my site if I do a link search with or without the www. Both searches bring up the same number of internal and external links.
In your case it's probably just that your site is new, possibly combined, as Birdman says, with low PR of pages linking to you. Give it time, and cultivate more links. Links below PR4 are still valuable!
For your other questions, Birdman is right to point you to the knowledge base. You'll find lots of good stuff there.
Good luck!
This will give you all the links that AllTheWeb knows about, irrespective of PR.
As MeditationMan said, Google counts the contribution of links from pages with a PR of less than 4, it just chooses not to show them to you.
