I have traded links with maybe 30-40 PR 3 , PR 4 sites but my site PR will not get above 0. I have been online for 3 1/2 months. If you " Google" my site it returns maybe 650 references to it (on Google). What else can I do ?
site is www.fivestargeneralstore.com
Thanks
If the other sites are just link sites, it won’t do you any good. It won’t help if they are completely unrelated to your site.
It is wierd to be at pr0. Your site must be making google very angry.
Have you tried validating your site code? Do that at
http://validator.w3.org/
and clean up any errors.
Do words in your metas actually appear in the body of your site?
Is it an all flash site? (bad).
Do you have keyword-stuffed text set to the same color as the background? (bad).
url, please..
Later that day…
I did some looking around at your site and it looks fine (viewed the source too).
I also put your site address on this page
http://www.website101.com/Search_Engine_Positioning/search-engine-simulator.php
and checked all the boxes to see what would happen. It looks better than a lot of other sites.
The sites which link to yours are mainly link farms, but that should not kill you. I used this handy site to check it:
http://wholinkstome.com/?url=www.fivestargeneralstore.com
The validator found 35 errors, some serious, but nothing I would call fatal. But who knows what it might do to a search engine?
I can’t see any other problems, or for that matter why google is giving you such a low rating. Try getting the error count down and see if that helps.
