Most Pages on V7Network Have PageRank <2

[stephengfm]

If forum linking is a great way to connect for page rank, then V7Network appears to a very hard way to achieve page rank as most of the pages have a PageRank <2

From my basic checking of random pages over the last year, (i chose pages with more than 50 responses), it appears that most of the pages have a page rank of < 2. I only found one page with a Page Rank of 1, and a few with 0.

The remainder had a page of N/A.

The N/A pages appeared to be on new pages as well as pages over 3 months old.

So can someone explain how you can achieve a high page rank by having links from pages with N/A and 0, and at most 1 Page rank?

P.S.

Is it this way on most forums?

This seems odd, I own a forum on a free website (webs.com) that has many pages ranked as 2. Maybe you just chose the wrong threads.

Can you find one here with a page rank of 2 or greater?

I've looked and look and can't find one.

I haven't checked any, I just guessed that such a large forum would.

The intended function of V7n has nothing to do with providing link juice for somebody's backlink campaign. If it doesnt perform a function it isnt meant to do in the first place to the expectations somebody has developed, that's sorta their problem.

I understand it's their problem. However, there appears to be a widespread expectation (as written on these forum pages) that a "backlink campaign", as you define it would work.

But my little (likely inaccurate) investigation reveals an apparent urban myth that no one here appears to confront.

Well, if you convince them to quit wasting our time with their post-for-count horsehockey you'll have done a good deed, but the serial forum backlink addicts dont strike me as a bright lot to start with. Good luck.

well said.we do not visit this forum for creating backlinks but to learn and share things which are usefull for seo and other web related issues

Why are people still chasing PR? I am looking for traffic, not some PR score that Google has made clear has little or to no effect on SERPs.

For example, in my case I am a local brick and mortar business. Local ranking factors are of much more interest to me than PR.

I would urge anyone interested in SEO to carefully consider what role PR plays in their traffic goals. I suspect PR will end up low on the list of traffic generation priorities.

Its because spammers get less chance here for spamming. Our moderators are pretty much active to kick spammers ass That's why most of the v7n forum pages holds page rank

I am still confused on how forums give you backlinks but for me I like to find forums that are interesting, I can interact on and network with others. All the PR or good backlinks I might get are icing on the cake
