Hi revolu_hp, Welcome to WebmasterWorld.

I want improve our website PR as fast as it can .Your suggestions and comments are anticipated

The fastest way I've heard to rev up your PR is buy links from high PR pages. Buyer Beware.

Beyond that, you might find some interesting reading here about the value, or lack thereof, of the current state of PR. Maybe what you really want to do is to improve your visibilty in SE's? If that's it, then forget about PR and focus on the page in question. I don't think you can hurry the web anymore, so whatever you end up doing may not bring results as fast as you like. I think that really depends on the age of the site more than most anything else.

"I don't think you can hurry the web anymore, so whatever you end up doing may not bring results as fast as you like."

I think you are right on this but wonder what that means in concrete terms to you -

Google - how long do you think it takes to get a decent SERP for a competitive term

Same question for Yahoo!

My take continues to be that Y moves faster than G. And here is another question for you: How do you think G values new pages from established sites? Do you think they are considered valuable fresh content or are they sandboxed?

<OT alert>

How do you think G values new pages from established sites? Do you think they are considered valuable fresh content or are they sandboxed?

I can get a new page on an established site into the top 10 results within 2 weeks.

Google - how long do you think it takes to get a decent SERP for a competitive term

How long is a piece of string? I've spent the better part of the last year getting and maintaining good results for some very competitive terms (2,000,000 pages and up).

Hi,

It is a known fact if you do bad in google, you are probably ranking high in yahoo.

No one can work out google at the moment as the serps are so sporadic.
Backlinks are not being counted correctly and no one really knows why.

Having done seo now for five years we rely more on pay per click for results and google and yahoo for the extra cream on top.

Years ago it was so easy to be in the top 5 but it seems relevance is no longer important so much for google, just keep on getting incoming links that are themed to your website and you should not go far wrong.

Getting a competitive term in the top 10 for the SERPs from an established site in two weeks:

1) I take it this means G.
2) Do you do anything different than if it is a new site?

I have a large site (11,000 pages indexed by G) that is going to start offering a new category. Everything to date has been goods, this is a service.

Also, on the site you mention spending the past year on, how long did it take you get competitive SERPs?
