Site PR0 And No links showing to me some are pr 7

[Badmoon]

Hey All,
First I would like to introduce myself to everyone here. My Name is Rob DiSalvo. I have been a webmaster since 94 and have dropped out of the loop for several years 2 it's time for me to get back to work and I have found many things have changed. My problem/questions are below.

I just placed a new site online that I own about 4 weeks ago I paid for the express inclusion just to get the page in right away. My PR sits at 0 from the time it was lsited. 4 days ago googlebot came by and indexed my whole site in 2 runs same with MSN all pages now show on google as well as all the people that are linking to me when you just put salesleads.bz in the search window of google. Some of the people linking to me have a PR7 on the page thats linked to me, However when I do a search for sites linking to me no one shows up and my page rank still sits at 0. Is there something wrong with my site I have not done anything spammy or any old style SEO tricks it's just a site I really worked hard on. Any help would be welcome!

If your site is really new, it will take a while (2-3 months) for all your optimization efforts to be seen. Google only updates backlinks once a month or so.

The new buzzword now for SEO it seems is patience. It also seems that 4 weeks is like minutes in the SEO timezone.

Jokes apart, Google does take some time for new sites to be ranked. Meanwhile, you can do the following :

--> If you have bought links to your site, check with this list if you have been scammed - http://www.blockedpr.com

--> Get your site submitted to DMOZ and Yahoo (Google values listings in these sites more) and all the other directories that have been around for some time.

--> Try to get context based links - links from sites related to your site. These help with ranking in other search engines too (teoma).

--> Keep updating your site regularly. Add new pages frequently.

--> Create a sitemap. Google recommends it.

--> You might want to think about renaming you links page to something other than 'link.html'.

--> Your web design should be well structured, and the pages light weight.

I'd just say, give it time. And get more links in the meantime.

Your PR will show up soon. It'll take about 1 month. The Backlinks take about 2 months to show up as backlinks.

Seems lik things are going well just got a PR of 4 only 3 sites showing as a back link to me.. But if you search salesleads.bz you see a ton of stuff.. I think this site will rank well in a month or so
