PR Check SEO Blog

PR Check – the important daily check. So why isn’t your Google PageRank increasing and your Alexa rank decreasing? Why is Alexa not updating? Is your site penalized by Google?

There can be so many reasons for your PageRank and Alexa not being updated, and here are some of them.

First, you have to understand that your domain PR is completely different from your Alexa ranking. The Alexa rate is usually (not always) updated daily. However, Alexa bases its traffic data on the last three months – so you usually have to wait that long before you can see any action at all in the Alexa rank.

The Google Page Rank is different though. This updates very seldom – actually, no one knows how often. Usually, the PR is updated every three months or so. But lately, that has not been the case.

Also, if your website is penalized by Google, then your pagerank and Alexa might disappear totally. So is there a good google penalised checker that can be used? Well, the best google penalized checker is Google itself. Search for your site’s domain, like this “domainprcheck.com” and check if the site is in Google’s index at all. If it is not, but was before, then you are surely penalized!

However, if you are there still, but still believe you are being penalized, then use one of the online tools. There are many many tools – use several of them, not only one. There are such things as pagerank valid checker and also valid penalize checkers, but some of them are garbage, so try to use lots of different versions.

If you stay away from bad SEO and keep updating your website’s plug-in and code, so you don’t get hacked – then you’re usually fine.

Lets concentrate for a while on the Alexa ranking. How good is it and what is it used for?

Well, actually, a lot of advertising companies still look heavily at the Alexa rating. It is – still – a very good way of expressing a website’s traffic. It is not perfect by any means, but it gives a pretty good estimate – especially if you’re looking at English languaged, US-targeted sites.

Our site have an Alexa rank around 1-2M. One of the reasons is because of our domain name. Domain PR Check is simply a great name. It shows up early (on the first page) on the Google index, and it is an active blog which makes people coming back for more.

YOU can do this too. One of the ways to do this is by creating a lot of websites and linking all these to ONE specific site that you focus on. This is the absolutley cheapest way to decrease your Alexa ranking (and ultimatly also increase your Google PR rank).

But another way – which is actually even more effective – is to search through eBay’s auctions for the keyword “Alexa”. Check the domains which have ANY kind of Alexa ranking, even those on the bottom as 20 Million or so. Buy a few and link these to the site you’re focusing on.

Just doing this will decrease the Alexa on your target site tremendously.

Another very good way is finding a keyword that is heavily searched for (check Google’s webmaster tools) and then buying that keyword – or part or combination of it – as a domain. This takes more work, and might not work as well, but it is a good way to start.

Having a website with low Alexa ranking means that advertisers will like your site more. Display your Alexa rank when it reaches below 10 million. Then people start to pay attention.
