Google's PR

[ruben]

I have a webpage <snip> it's a digital magazine (it means business actuality).
I think it's well positionated, because if i search "key phrase" it return 1.600.000 results and i'm on #6 position.

Google have indexed 3940 pages of my web, and i have 58 Blinks. The pages have a lot of quality and quantity content.

Why my page rank is only 4 ??

Thanks

Hi Ruben and welcome to WebmasterWorld.

There are a number of possible reasons.

1. 58 BLinks is not that many.

2. Quality of BLinks counts if these are mostly PR4 links it takes many to produce a PR5 and higher.

3. Quantity of outbound on pages that BLink to you share PR, so if a PR4 page is linking to you and 3 other links are on that page you are receiving less than 1 in PR value. A page with 100 links and one to you, you receive almost nothing.

4. Your internal links can count as BLinks as well (anything over PR4) but these PR levels are normally transferred from your home page (or where most inbound links point to) so they are not adding PR. If many of your BLinks are internal pages you are not gaining anything.

5. If you many more outbound links on a page than inbounds you are giving more PR than you are receiving. This is generally the reason most DMOZ clones have very poor PR levels (lots and lots of PR being transferred elsewhere and nothing coming in.

Recommend starting a link exchange program with your magazine readers as well as submitting your site for inclusion in directories. Don't forget about niche directories as well (magazines, articles, and local ones, etc.) since traffic (click throughs) are more important early on, as you develop your PR.
