Infinite Pagerank Dilemma
-
Hey MOZ fans,
I have a exciting question for you today.
http://i.imgur.com/dl0r9s1.png
I try to visualize but let me explain too.In the pagerank algorithm, as you know the pagerank flows to the links **no matter they are internal or external. **And the link juice that pass can be found by pagerank of the site, times %85 divided by total outlinks ( no matter they are nofollow attribitu or not.)
Everything is okay here now. But what would be if it would be in the as image below.http://i.imgur.com/dl0r9s1.png
Does it also become a loop and, each of the page makes their pagerank 10?
Thanks for your help.

Even though I don't get it yet, I'm so proud of getting answer from Rand Fishkin !!
Thanks Rand and all of you guyz. -
The math doesn't work out here either, because each page is only assigned an extremely tiny amount of PR initially, and the damping factor will make it such that you're only passing some lesser quantity to the linked page. That, combined with the fact that PageRank's iterations end after a certain number of runs (at one point, I think it was ~10 iterations), and you'll see that looping PR like you've shown doesn't work out.

I would say a loop doesn't work, or just about every site would be a pr 10 site.

Is there anything wrong with this pagerank diagram?
Hey guyz,
Technical SEO | | atakala
I've asked many question today but forgive me :D.
I just want to know is there anything wrong with this diagram http://mygreatname.com/google-pagerank/images/google-pagerank-algorithm-03.gif
Because page 1 has 3 outgoing links but you divided 2 and page 2 has 2 outgoing links but you divided only 1. Or do I miss something?
Thank you. google-pagerank-algorithm-03.gif0 -
Satellite Website Dilemma - Hosted in House or Elsewhere? Blog or Actual Shop?
Hi All, I have recently noticed a LOT of websites appearing in some of the SERP (example http://goo.gl/UyHZp6) that have an exact match domain (or as near as) and are either thin blogs that have a splash of content, and then link back to Amazon, competitor A competitor B etc. or an online secondary shop. Getting tired of this I have purchased a couple of exact match domains of my own, but am unsure of the best way to tackle this with long term gains in mind. The exact match domains I have are the .co.uk and com versions of these: http://goo.gl/xrjY7Z http://goo.gl/Mg0XBl The ideal scenario for me would be to create the satellite website as a functioning shop specialising in just a small group of specialist products (10 - 12) from a subcategory of the main site. My main store has 1200 + items and this will make the user experience better as I feel as it will make navigation easier, allow for more information to be present without confusing things. It would also allow the customer to feel safe knowing they are buying from a specialist. However I have the following in mind: My ecommerce software open cart supports multi store from the same database, this is great and makes management massively easy. It would allow me to brand the satellite store up as specialist store yet manage all orders through one admin portal. The sites would have separate IP addresses, but I am worried about the site being on the same server as the main site, and sharing whois info etc. Would google think of this as spamming the results? There will be no shared content, and I do not intend to interlink the sites for fear of them looking like a link network. The other option is to take out some cheap hosting and start building content on a blog similar to this: http://goo.gl/sBB3wY I hate this however as it just seems spammy and as a consumer it annoys me when I find this. What are your thoughts on how to deal with this?

Controlling PageRank Flow Question
One of my competitors rose above me drastically, above everyone actually. His website has a sidebar on the homepage, but when you click a post it leads to a full width page of his content - with no sidebar at all. The only button on page is HOME. My site has the sidebar on all pages, meaning juice is flowing around in all directions. Would it be smarter for me to remove my sidebar as well? In theory, this would create a boost in rankings correct?

Cant get my head around this duplicate content dilemma!
Hi, Lets say you have a cleaning company, you have a services page, which covers window cleaning, carpet cleaning etc, lets say the content on this page adds up to around 750 words. Now lets say you would like to create new pages which targeted location specific keywords in your area. The easiest way would be to copy the services page and just change all the tags to the location specific term but now you have duplicate content. If I wanted to target 10 locations, does this now mean I need to generate 750 words of unique content for each page which is basically the services page rewritten? Cheers

HTML Forms Dilute Pagerank?
Today, we have way too many links on our homepage. About 30 of them are add-to-basket links (regular html links) pointing to a separate application. This application 302 redirects the client back to the referring page. I have two questions: 1. Does the current implementation of our buttons dilute pagerank? Bear in mind the 302 redirect. 2. If the answer to the first question is yes, would transforming the buttons into form buttons change anything to the better? We would still 302 back to the referring page. I know Gbot follows GET forms and even POST forms, but does GBot pass on pagerank to the form URL?

Pagerank and 301s
Hi all For various reasons some of our pages were renamed from: http://www.meresverige.dk/rejser/malmoe to: http://www.meresverige.dk/rejser/malmo We have made proper 301 redirects and also updated sitemap.xml accordingly. The change was done about 5th of September. The content on the pages remain identical. This page, and all pages below it in the structure now get very low or no page-rank at all. Much lower than it was before the name change. Any ideas to how long, if ever, it will take for Google to transfer the page-rank from the old page? Any suggestions to what we can do to make the process faster?

Pagerank panda rebound
First, I want to say thank you to the support i've been getting from everyone in this community over the last few months. Im glad to be a part of something that isnt full of flammers and haters... and happy late 4th of july... I implemented canonical tags on a clients website (job board with tons of job postings) and the pagerank has almost immediately rebounded from 2.3 - 4.6. it was a little higher pre-panda, but im happy with the rebound. has anyone had experience on how long it usually takes for the keyword rankings to rebound after changes are made? google recached the site this morning, but im still waiting to see traffic bumps. Thanks!
