Page Rank and offline sites
-
I have a domain with PR6 according to the Historical Pagerank Checker. But that last PR was calculated 2 years ago. I brought the site back online a few days ago and have checked that many/most of the backlinks are still valid. It is now in the Google index but the Historical Pagerank Checker shows PR0.
Will it get back its previous rank or something close to it? How long will it take?

In addition to Steve having pointed out that the PR you see is totally invalid, and not truly reflective of your real situation, I'd also say that if it's only been back online a couple days, it's way too early to even begin to determine how the site holds up. Nowadays Google assigns an initial estimated ranking value to each page on the site, and the site overall, but then other algorithms are run over the course of days, if not weeks. These provide additional input to either confirm, deny or otherwise cause a modification to that initial assessment.
Then there's the reality that in all that time, if other sites that compete for the same phrases undergo changes themselves in that general time-frame, that too would cause shifting.
Personally I don't put too much weight in ANY "ranking" data. Whether it's MozRank, Keyword search results ranking, or any other kind. All of it's just a general guide.
The only thing that truly matters nowadays for the vast majority of situations is - am I getting a volume of organic search traffic that suits my needs, goals? And from there, is that traffic highly relevant, to the point where those visitors become conversions - meaning how many of them take that next step after arriving that I am seeking? Such as filling out specific forms, or making specific purchases, or whatever the metric is.
that data, over time, is what matters way more than ranking numbers.
Just my experience.

It doesn't matter. PR means nothing, zero, zilch
It's your MozRanks you want to watch, not Page Rank. True Page Rank (as in what Google really thinks) is not shown to any of us, but is likely fairly close to what MozRank shows. The Page Rank you see for your site is meaningless and doesn't reflect true PR in any way.

Blog article split into a few pages
Hi, I came across multiple websites where blog articles are split into multiple pages and once you reach the end of the page, you need to click 'Next' or '2/3' to continue reading. Is this a good practice? I understand you keep clicking through multiple pages instead of reading an article only on one page, but you also split the strength of the targeted keyword between multiple pages. Can anyone advise? Thanks Katarina

Pages with URL Too Long
Hello Mozzers! MOZ keeps kindly telling me the URLs are too long. However, this is largely due to the structure of E-commerce site, which has to include 'brand' 'range' and 'products' keyword. For example -
Moz Pro | | tigersohelll
https://www.choicefurnituresuperstore.co.uk/Devonshire-Rustic-Oak-Bedside-Cabinet-1-Drawer-p40668.html MOZ recommends no more than 75 characters. This means we have 25-30 characters for both the brand name and product name. Questions:
If it is an issue, how to fix it on my site?
If it's not an issue, how can we turn off this alert from MOZ?
Anyone know how big an issue URLs are as a ranking factor? I thought pretty low.0 -
Page Authority is the same on every page of my site
I'm analyzing a site and the page authority is the exact same for every page in the site. How can this be since the page authority is supposed to be unique to each page?

Old Incoming Links Redirected to new pages are not Being Factored on the Open Site Explorer
Hi, My website has been online since 1994. We have old links pointing to pages that no longer exist so what we have done is to create redirects to the specific page where the content is being displayed now. However, when we use the Open Site Explorer, the linking root domains do not show those sites that contain old links pointing to our domain. One good example of this one is: dmoz.org. Am I improperly handling the redirects? Or, what do I have to do so that old links that are being redirected to the new pages where the information is are accounted when calculating domain authority and trust? Thanks, Alex

Ranking history lost
Hi there, It seems I have lost all the ranking history on all my keywords. I have only checked two campaigns - kodega.de and weddingrings-direct.com and none of the keyword show any historical movement any more, something I found very useful. Please let me know if this is just a glitch or if something has really stopped working as my account has been up and running for quite some time now. Many thanks, Julian
