Google Ranking "Zero" Why, How & What

[richard04]

I just started to submit my site http://traveltipsportal.com to some link exchanges and web directories, and got most of response is that the Google ranking of my site is "Zero" and submissions were rejected.

I was told that to be listed, my site has to be ranked at least 4. My questions were:

1) Why they don't accept site of google rank "zero"?
2) How can I improve my site ranking to above 4 and How can I know what is current my site ranking
3) What should I do next?

>1) Why they don't accept site of google rank "zero"?

because some people confuse pagerank with value and do not know how to tell if a site is banned or new.

>2) How can I improve my site ranking to above 4 and How can I know what is current my site ranking

get a bunch of inbound links. start w directory registration.

>3) What should I do next?

buy some inbound links from directories and other sites


what directories were giving you nasty responses based on PageRank?

ditto awall19.

Something that has worked for me is to really work hard to find someone with a pr5 or 6 site that will give you a link. Believe me, there are people out there that will do it, you just have to work hard for it.

It's too bad people use pr as an indicator of quality...

Hi Richard04 ,

If you wan to get PR fast, you can try to advertise in Botw.org , the top Categories with at least PR6 (so your site may appear 4 to 6 after the next update). But the cost is quite high ($14.95 to $29.95 per month), well known and cheaper one are Bluefind PR8 , Sevenseek PR7 (listed very very fast) , Small Business Directory PR8, uncoverthenet (I belived this is worth submitting, they point lots of high PR ranking page deep into their sub-Categoires pages).

Below is a list of Useful Directory (Many are Free)

Hope that all this will help you to get a high PR.

Cheers....

If you wan to exchange link , me also welcome but my index page is PR0 , but some internet page is PR4. Dont know why also ....

Thank you for all the valuable inputs. So I may start with directory links. I will work hard to achieve my goal. Thanks again and it really helps a lot.

Have a nice day!

I don't understand why a site that has a PR0 (the site you are trying to submit to) has a criteria of PR4 or greater.
