I have an unusual problem. Since one of my sites was unbanned (I assume that's the word) most all of the pages have a PR of 4 and that remains constant. But the main page, or index page, often has a pro or 0 PR and sometimes it has a 5 PR. Now I understand about the different data centers and all that. But I can't understand why my other pages carry a constant PR but the index page does not.Usually it's the index page that carries the main PR and it's spread from there.Any ideas?skroma wrote:My site was unbanned a couple weeks ago. I got my PR back immediately. That's surprising in that G shows NO backlinks for me --- I had a lot before being banned one year ago, however.The PR on my home page comes and goes. I check it for future PR and it shows 5 on most data centers and 0 on one or two. But the other pages show a constant 4 PR.My site is supplemental at present. I got the following email from G yesterday:"Thank you for your email. Please note that Google's robots crawl the webon a regular cycle indexing billions of webpages. New sites, changes toexisting sites, and dead links will all be noted after our next crawl,which will be completed soon. Because we gather so much information duringeach crawl, the update process is completely automated. We can't makemanual changes to individual sites.We appreciate your interest in Google. Thanks for taking the time towrite.Regards,The Google TeamBeing in the supplemental index is like not being indexed at all. But considering I just got back in after one year I can sort of accept that and even understand that.I just wish I understood what was going on. G crawls my site several times a day.skHi sk,I know that Google doesn't show backlinks for sites below a certain PR (I believe PR3), so that may explain why you're not seeing any backlinks. The good news is that it doesn't mean they're not there - Google just isn't showing them. I think your best bet is to just continue building your site as if you just started it, and work your way back to where you were before you were banned. At least you're "unbanned" now. SamThe PR is 5. But I have other sites with a PR of 3 that show backlinks. So I don't think that has anything to do with it if I'm understanding what you're saying.Hi sk,I just read that Google's backlink policy may have changed, and that they may now be using some type of "random" algorithm to determine which backlinks to show. Whatever the case may be, it seems universally accepted that Google doesn't show all available backlinks.Sorry I can't be more helpful. Sam
