The Value Of PageRank (Or Not)

Thursday, 29 May 2008

I don't want to disclose the domain name but I've got a site with a PageRank of 2. Big whoop you say?

When I say site I mean holding page! I was suprised when Google awarded it a PR1 a while back given it's got no external links, no Google sitemap and no other contact with the world.
 
I'm intrigued how Google found it in the first place but I'm more intrigued with the fact that it's now been awarded a PR 2 given it's a holding page and it's got 29 words on it.

It makes a bit of a mockery of sites like Compare Sat Nav (PR3) and Price Tapestry Templates (PR3) given that those are sites that actually have content.

Sat Nav Reviews has a PR of 1 gained from a year of being parked on CSN so it'll be interesting to see how long it takes to be nudged up.
