PR0 for a site on top results?

No hidden links, links from other PR7 sites

Installed Google Toolbar to check my PR - found that my home page got PR0, while some forum pages have PR4.

Interested to know how my site is in the top results (if not at least in the first page) for some keywords and being linked from hundreds of other sites.

No hidden links, no H1 tags.

Don't know what to do to improve it more than this point now in terms of code.

It's probably the off-the-page criteria that is making your site top of the results.

Lumping hidden links together with H1 tags like that implies that there's something wrong with H1 tags. Properly used H1 tags are perfectly legitimate!

Hmmm. Now the pages are all back to 5/10. Interesting stuff.

That was probably just a glitch in the toolbar.

It always happens to me. What I do is I press any link on that page and then press "back" button. That usually helps. Refresh button does not help btw.

Thanks buckworks. You saved me from saying (shouting) it.

I've also heard people being called spammers for using CSS, as if that's their only purpose.
