Pages with no PR on PR6 Site

[RockyMtnHi]

Hi,
I have a few resource pages on my website that have a PR of 0 while the rest of the site is PR5 or PR6. I don't see why these pages aren't ranked. We have added links to each of these resources pages from all site pages and there is still no PR.

Here:
http://www.21stsoft.com/resources-search-engine-optimization-seo-internet-marketing.asp
http://www.21stsoft.com/resources-web-design-web-development.asp
http://www.21stsoft.com/resources-software-development.asp
are a few of them.

I do know how the pages had their PR removed. I accidentally mapped out all of the pages in the robots.txt about 3 months ago and the PR hasn't returned. I corrected it within a day and linked to all of these pages within a week.

Do you have any ideas why these pages haven't come back yet?:confused:

Many thanks,

"Resourses" like "links" url/page names are flagged by google as a rep link farm..

And looking at the pages it look like rep links ?

You dont even have those pages cached ... I am sure u know about that ... Have you tried creating site map and submitting Google Site Map

[RockyMtnHi]

I have had a Google sitemap for months:
http://www.21stsoft.com/sitemap.xml

I assume the cache went when I mapped the pages out in thr robots.txt as mentioned in the first posting.

How does the absence of cache affect the site? Can I force a new cache?

Thanks,

I'm not convinced it matters about PR on resources - I work on several sites that have no PR on their resource pages but still rank well. In fact I have one site which went down in PR last week and went up in the SERPS. :D Concentrate on relevancy in the resources pages rather than PR.

I regularly laugh and chuckle when people ask why one page of their site has a PR rating but other pages don't.

Especially now - since the recent PR update.

I also chuckle at the thought that some feel this is important in some way... ;)

Gotta grin.

It's recommended that some pages that are important be accessible from other inner pages as well. For example if your links pages are important, mention them in your website sitemap one by one.

Also add some IB links to them or to your sitemaps.

You have too many external links. That causes pagerank leak. To stop this bleeding, have all external links tagged with nofollow - otherwise Google will treat it as linkfarm. I have recently seen pagerank dropping from 7 to 3 for some sites with too many outgoing links in their top page.

[RockyMtnHi]

If you look at the code, most of the links on the resources-... pages are javascript links to the same page. This reduces outbound links and pagerank leak.

That is why I am baffled that the pagerank hasn't come back yet, most of the links on the resources pages are to the same page. Only a few actually point external to the site.

I could only see Statcounter and Google Analytics in Javascript. What about your external links starting from Denver Co, Web Design to WebsiteAlive ?

You better analyze your page at submitexpress.com/cgi-bin/analyzer
and correct all the errors flagged in red color.

Hi,
That page (submitexpress.com/cgi-bin/analyzer) is apparently broken.

The reason I want these pages ranked is because it brings in other highly ranked sites linking to me.

Any other ideas?

RockyMtnHi - if those sites won't link to you unless you've got a high PR they may not be the right sites for you anyway - if those sites are preoccupied with high PR linking rather than relevancy when G changes it's relevancy rules these pages may have even less value. I'd concentrate on finding good relevant themed links.
I would check out the top ten for the particular term you want to be found for and then run a related: operand to find the sites you really should be linking to you'll be able to tell what are the good sites easily.

Plus of course if your site has a lot of good content sites will want to link to you:)
