When will I be indexed?

Googlebot has visited but PR is still 0

[johnnstacy1]

I tried submitting some sites to Google and others I linked to pages already within Google to see which would be faster. I am not having any luck either way. Googlebot has visited and continues to visit but pagerank still has a white bar with no rank and thus no position in the results. Some of you have spoke about how you have submitted your "new" sites and within 48 hours you are already coming up in the results. What is your pagerank when this happens? Does pagerank have anything to do with where you will come up in the results? Is it that your site has such targeted keywords that has you in the top 10 so quickly?
Thanks for any help with this.

All new pages and sites since about early/mid-May are PR0. Even pages that Google has not spidered are PR0.

What the toolbar shows for PR should not affect your ranking if your pages fall into this group.

Does pagerank have anything to do with where you will come up in the results?

Yes, it is one of the factors that determine your position...certainly not the most important, but still a factor. Even though new pages aren't showing a PR in the toolbar, it is believed that Google has a PR value for them, especially if the pages in question have been in the index through an update.

I'd like to note a similar problem and humbly ask for your advice.

Mysite.com used to have a PR5 at the top, with subsections ranging from PR3-5.

Now, when I hover over the toolbar on any page of my site, I get "current page is not ranked by Google."

If I search for unique text on my homepage the page comes up in Google. But if I search for unique text on other sections, even just one level down, I often get zero hits! :-( I am absolutely positive that this was NOT the case a few months ago.

I have wracked my brain, and I can't think of anything I might have done to get banned. I DID use a rewrite thingy in my .htaccess to redirect all mysite.com --> www.mysite.com (to IMPROVE my Google rankings and consolidate PR), but other than that, nada.

I did drop a brief and polite note to [e-mail] and [e-mail] asking them if I've been banned. And I've already read the WW Google FAQs (which have been interesting and helpful, if a bit dated).

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks much in advance for any advice you can offer :)

ThatAdamGuy,

If it is the website in your profile, it is a PR6.

Did you get the new Toolbar?

Did you try to search for yourdomain.com?

I get a gray bar on most of the sites I visit. However, when I search for the page and then visit it through the SERPs, the PR will show.

[ThatAdamGuy]

Wow, I appreciate the info Suzanne, though now I'm even more mystified than ever.

1) Using myIE2 *AND* IE6.0, I still see PR0.
2) Going through Google, still PR0.
3) Checking the "fix PR through proxies"... you guessed it, still PR0.

Also, several of my long-established mysite.com/foo/ pages aren't indexed at all, as evidenced by a content search for exact phrases.

Argh :(

Try the following:
- Go to the page you want to see the PR for
- Wait till it loads
- Click on any link within that page
- Wait for the new page to load
- Click "Back" button in your browser
Now you should see PR

That trick works for me all the time

[ThatAdamGuy]

Thank you, but alas, that did not work :(

Since I've learned from this thread that this is a problem with the operation of my Google toolbar instead of my site's PR, I've reposted this issue on this page of WW's Toolbar section:

[moltar]

Hmm, what an issue :)

And, btw, I also can see your PR.

[ThatAdamGuy]

Yes, this is simultaneously amusing AND embarrassing and frustrating.

I feel like Big Bird, who really IS seeing snuffleupagus <sigh>.

ThatAdamGuy,
Just a little feedback, but I see only greybar for your site no matter what I do. I don't know if that's comforting or not at this point.

[ThatAdamGuy]

LOL. Fun fun fun! So some people see that my site has PR, others don't see any PR. And I can't find a few of my main pages in the Google index. Charming.

Oh well, I think sometimes I just gotta say FI, smile, and get some rest and just let things be.

[Josefu]

Don't feel bad; Mister Googlebot has visited my page six times over the past two months and taken only the robots.txt and index pages... I'm STILL waiting to be indexed. It's not only the PR, it's searchers unable to find anything in my site other than the cover page!

[abates]

I have a couple of pages which show up in search results, yet the toolbar says they're "not ranked yet".

Actually, one particular page was missing from the search results (it used to be #2 for a particular keyword) then at the last database reshuffle, it returned to the search results, and got a page rank on the toolbar. A few days later, it lost its toolbar rank (now it's no longer ranked again) but is still #2 in the search results.

Am completely confused as to what's happened there. The pages have been there for several years now and haven't changed URL at all.

Hello Folks,
i'm not new to the forum but this is my first post.
I got some even more interesting stuff for you:
Showing www.mysite.net gives me a pagerank (ok, it's just a #1), showing www.mysite.net/default.asp (which is the indexed page) i can't get any ranking.
I am not pretty concerned about this since the site ranks very well in the SERPS, even if there are just eight pages indexed (at least following the allinurl:mysite.net in G).
