Whats your highest google ranked page?

And how long did it take to achieve?

[sleepy]

Looking at trying to increase the page rank of one of my sites and are keen to learn whats the highest page rank people have obtained and how long it took them.

I have a PR5 and it took about 1 year, although I wasnt serious about getting it raised the whole time. I have another site that has only been up three months and have a PR3. Remember it gets harder to get the rank from one to another the higher you go. So its easier to get from 2 to 3 than from 5 to 6.

You could have a PR8 next update if you wanted to pay for it.

<<<You could have a PR8 next update if you wanted to pay for it>>>

Can you be a little more specific please?

[fidibidabah]

Yeah, that comment piques my interest as well :P

[AprilS]

I too am intrigued on how you can pay to increase page rank. This is the first I've heard of it. Please elaborate.

I think he is saying you could link to a PR9 site and pay them a fee for the link. If you did that with a couple of sites you would probalby be a PR8.

I have a PR6 site in a few months. Doesn't make any money so PR hasnt been helpful for me.

One of my sites was PR7 on its home page its very first month, because it was included on a PR8 "What's New" page on a British university website for a few weeks. When it lost that link, it slid back to PR5 for three or four months. It has since risen to PR6 and plateaued there.

Nearly 300 other sites link to it now, but all of those together don't equal the power of that one PR8 link.

I have a PR5 site with only one backlink (yahoo directory)
The site is content heavy so I presume that is why.

Just wondered can I get it any higher without quality backlinks or is PR5 about the limit content alone will achieve?

Thanks for the comments ... if I get a link from a site that has a page rank of 8 ......
can the link be be from any page on the site or does it have to be specifically from a page that has a ranking of 8?

Sleepy, they call it Page Rank, not Site Rank... ;)

[jimshu79]

I have a site that earned a PR 4 in about 2 months...I setup incoming links from no more than 30-40 sites, with a minimum of PR 3.

Another site I have has nearly 300 links, but because many of those sites have a PR0 - 4 I think I hurt myself and I'm stuck on PR 2 =( and dont know how to get out of it =/ any thoughts...?

rank #1 is my highest :)
all you need is a future-proof site that uses xhtml/css and has some constantly updated content - combine that with well written meta tags and directions for SE robots and you're all set. of course, depends on your business and the keywords you're hoping for - some rankings are harder than others.

[Raymond]

graphikjunkie, I think they are referring to pagerank, not your position in search although I think the position is far more important than pagerank itself.

Unless you really have an unlimited budget and would like to spend it for no particular reason, it is unwise to pay too much for links. If your site is worth to link, links will build on its own even if you don't ask for it. Nobody wants to keep useless links on their page, even if you pay them. It makes a site looks bad.

Just my 2 cents.

I got 2 links from sites in link exchanges with webmasters I know, and that boosted me up to PR3.

[cyberfyber]

I've had a PR5 on one of my sites for well over 1 1/2 years. Despite my constant attempts, I've only once made it to PR6, only to drop back down to my "5".

Mind you, when it came to standings in results for relevant searches, I've often beat out all my competition regardless of their PR's of higher numbers.

Our index.htm started out as PR5 when it was found by Google, a month after it went online, (because of the ODP and some other good links). The next dance it went to PR6. It is still PR6 18 months later. Most of our other pages are PR5 or PR4. I think we have a few PR3 that are buried several internal links away from the index.

1 site, 5 pages:
2 sixes, 3 fives, one outbound link.
Last page up for 4 months, started a zero the a five
in a month or two.

We have obviously members here with sites from PR0-PR10, and rankings from first in 50 results to first in millions of fiercley competitive results - what's the point?
