Need some help Pagerank N/A
-
Hi All! We have a small e commerce site, www.ruggedpcstore.com, built on Wordpress. The home page has a PR of 3, our About page is a PR 0, and all other pages are PR N/A. We've been pulling our hair out trying to fix what's wrong. Any ideas?
-
BTW, Thank You!

I think I just solved it thanks to SEOMoz tools. More than half the pages on the site have a rel canonical pointing at the home page. It was under Crawl Notices, which I have up to now ignored.
That should explain the NA!

Has your traffic changed?
Have your leads changed?
Is there any impact besides the number of pixels of green your have on your toolbar right now?
It could just be that your URL extension changed and things will catch up. If everything else is fine, don't sweat it.

The site is about 4 months old in its current iteration. It's a wordpress site, but it replaced a Joomla site. The PR N/A is frustrating us. With the home page having a PR 3, the other pages should have some PR, at least a 0.
With the SEOmoz tools, GWT, etc, we aren't getting any errors. Google is indexing the pages. I don't get it.

Has your traffic changed? Have your sales or leads changed? Do you have any messages in Google Webmaster Tools?

Can anyone else answer this?

Andy, thanks for your help, but I understand pagerank and ranking factors. The NA is indicative of a problem getting the pages indexed correctly. I have had the problem before on other sites, and it was indicative of a problem with the site's setup.
One site I was working on had the same symptoms. The home page was www.yoursite.com/directory/index.html. All of the inbound links (thousands) went to yoursite.com, no redirect to www. All of the www pages were NA and unranked. We changed the home page and redirects. Boom. PR3, and all kinds of high rankings.
After we made the changes, it took about a week for the PRs to change.
I do use mozrank, and the ranking factors from Majestic, as well. And pagerank is not unimportant. It is extremely important. It is just less important than it used to be.

PR no longer gets updated very often, 2 times a year if you are very very lucky.
New pages these days take a while to get any PR assigned (0 counts) and to move up obviously takes longer as PR is no longer a huge thing to Google.
The attitude you are taking is not the right one to have, PR is not hugely important and you are prioritizing it. PR is a signal of link trust and it's not the best one by any length. My suggestion is you forget PR as a major factor to you and maybe use something like MozRank -http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/mozrank - which is more upto date and uses more signals than PR alone.
hope this helps

The site is a few months old in its current iteration. i use google webmaster tools, and the site has been fetched recently after I discovered the problem. No known issues on GWT. The pages are getting indexed. As I said, the home page is a PR3. Other pages on the site should at least have a PR1. Our About page is a PR0. It should probably be a PR2.
-
how old is the site in its current being and how long have the other pages existed?

Href lang issues - help needed!
Hi, I have an issue with Google indexing the US version of our website rather than the UK version on Google.co.uk. I have added hreflang tags to both sites (https://www.pacapod.com/ and https://us.pacapod.com/), have updated and submitted an XML sitemap for each website and checked that the country targeting in search console is set-up correctly but Google are still indexing the wrong website. I would be grateful for any assistance with this issue. Many thanks Eddie

Subdomain/subfolder question
Hi community, Let's say I have a men's/women's clothing website. Would it be better to do clothing.com/mens and clothing.com/womens OR mens.clothing.com and womens.clothing.com? I understand Moz's stance on blogs that it should be clothing.com/blog, but wanted to ask for this different circumstance. Thanks for your help!

User Created Subdomain Help
Have I searched FAQ: Yes My issue is unique because of the way our website works and I hope that someone can provide some guidance on this.Our website http://breezi.com is a website builder where users can build their own website. When users build their site it creates a sub-domain route to their created site, for example: http://mike.breezi.com. Now that I have explained how our site works here is the problem: Google Webmaster Tools and Bing Webmaster Tools are indexing ALL the user created websites under our TLD and thus it is our impression that any content created in those sub-domains can confuse the search engine to thinking that the user created website and content is relevant to _OUR _main sitehttp://breezi.com. So, what we would like to know if there is a way to let search engines know that the user created sites and content is not related to our TLD site. Thanks for any help and advise.

Great UX/Cloaking Concerns?
A company in a space related to ours just launched the other day. One thing I noticed was how well designed their site was and how beautiful their UI was. http://eventup.com/venues/los-angeles/. There's a lot of dynamic content here. When I click "inspect element" in chrome I just get a few placholders--no content. When inspecting the source the dynamic content does show up, but I'm not sure what Google would be crawling here. Would there be concerns about cloaking?

Understanding the actions needed from a Crawl Report
I've just joined SEOMOZ last week and have not even received my first full-crawl yet, but as you know, I do get the re-crawl report. It shows I have 50 301's and 20 rel canonical's. I'm still very confused as to what I'm supposed to fix...And, all the rel canonical's are my sites main pages, so hence I am still equally confused as to what the canonical is doing and how do I properly setup my site. I'm a technical person and can grasp most things fairly quickly, but on this the light bulb is taking a little while longer to fire-up 🙂 If my question wasn't total jibberish and you can help shed some light, I would be forever grateful. Thank you.
