Why does my site have a PageRank of 0?
-
My site (www.onemedical.com) has a PageRank of 0, and I can't figure out why.
We did a major site update about a year ago, and moved the site from .md to .com about 9 months ago. We are crawled by Google and rank on the first page for many of our top keywords. We have a MozRank of 4.59.
I figured this is something that would just take time to work out of the system, but nothing seems to change while we patiently wait.
One more thing to note - when a user comes to the homepage (city selector) and selects their region they will then be cookied and directed to their relevant city site on subsequent visits. But even our city-specific pages (ie www.onemedical.com/sf) have pageranks of 0.
My management team keeps asking me about this and I suspect there is something silly that we keep overlooking...but for the life of me, can't figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated.

Google just pushed out a toolbar pagerank update today. http://www.seroundtable.com/june-2011-google-pagerank-13615.html
-
Yes... I am seeing toolbar green on lots of new content today - going back to content published on May 8th.
-
Thanks for checking this out. When I look at the page, it appears to be a 301, but I'm not looking at this with the cookie set. (What are you using to see the 302)?
Regardless, now that we've addressed this, today .com seems to have a PR of 6, and our city sites (ie /sf/doctors) appear to have a 4. Did Google just update?
-
I used 301 redirects on everything using .htaccess.
-
Egol you may have some insight on this: When I did a site analysis on www.onemedical.md it 301 -> www.onemedical.com -> 302 -> www.onemedical.com/sf/doctors if it detects the cookie that says I pre-selected sf on the last visit.
How would you suggest they do instead of the 302 to pass juice to the desired page sf or ny?

You are out of luck. I doubt that there is anywhere to get this. If there was a lot of people would be talking about it - especially the linksellers and linkbuyers.
Your management team needs some education or they will be hounding you for this forever.
Management needs to know that PR has not been updated for a long time. They also need to know that they are dwelling on a worthless metric.
Tell them to put their nose into a metric such as profits that is really important.
Hopefully they will not doubt you about this.

Thanks. Is there a way to measure a site's "actual" PageRank (not sure I'm using the right name, or even if I have this concept down...) or is there something else that Google's provides as a proxy so we can understand the relative authority of our site?
Obviously mozRank / mozTrust, but I'm looking for something that my management team might have an easier time accepting...

Toolbar PageRank has not been widely updated for at least a year.
I have articles with PR7 links hitting them since last June and they still have no green showing on the toolbar PageRank.
Moving your domain from .md to .com would temporarily knock your ToolBar PageRank down to zero and it would stay there until the next toolbar PageRank update.
Nobody knows when google will update the toolbar PageRank.
I would not be surprised if they stopped publishing it.

My site is not being regularly crawled?
My site used to be crawled regularly, but not anymore. My pages aren't showing up in the index months after they've been up. I've added them to the sitemap and everything. I now have to submit them through webmaster tools to get them to index. And then they don't really rank? Before you go spouting off the standard SEO resolutions... Yes, I checked for crawl errors on Google Webmaster and no, there aren't any issues No, the pages are not noindex. These pages are index,follow No, the pages are not canonical No, the robots.txt does not block any of these pages No, there is nothing funky going on in my .htaccess. The pages load fine No, I don't have any URL parameters set What else would be interfereing? Here is one of the URLs that wasn't crawled for over a month: http://www.howlatthemoon.com/locations/location-st-louis

Ranking Multi-Language Site
Recently we updated our website to a new version. Our website has a structure in which the English page is our main page with about 50 subpages. All these pages are translated in 5 different languages. The different languages are divided into folders. For example www.ourdomain.com/de containts all german pages. The pages with products would be for example: www.ourdomain.com/products for english and www.ourdomain.com/de/produkte for the german page. On our previous website this used to be simililar. After the website update the SEOMoz crawls are showning duplicated page content/title errors for the pages saying that the pages in other languages have the same content/title as the basis English webpage. Any idea how I can solve these errors?

Asking to remove links from other sites
How hard is it to get people to take off links that point to your site that are on theirs? I have about 4 sites that I would like my link OFF of their blogroll because I think I was hit by the penguin update because of that. Do you know if there is anything you can do if they DON'T take it off?

404 Error from site - is this normal?
I have been trying to clean up any 404 errors. We keep getting the following: URL /include/vdimgck.php referring domain http://www.856d.c@m/plus/feedback.php rendered domain unclickable by adding the "@" since I do not know if it is safe. I just turned off the trackbacks and pings in the blog since I saw it was producing duplicate content and from what I read it is not worth keeping those with Wordpress. is vdimgck.php anything some here instantly recognizes ? It tops all our 404 errors, seems like a lot of requests. Thanks!

Question about an older more obsolete site
I have a website that I don't use much anymore but it ranks on the first page for one of my main keywords. I am using another few websites in different niches right now that are doing better and are more functional. It may cost around 1,300 or so to get the website that I don't use anymore, to look and function in the new ways of the internet. Would you suggest that I: Do a site redesign (which is more difficult because to make the site do what I want it needs to be out of a wordpress theme) or 301 redirect the site to another one of my sites? Would it make sense to do a 301? The domain is 5 years old but doesn't bring in any leads anymore because it would take a redesign for that to happen. How can I still benefit from the SEO that I have done on that site? Thanks and sorry if this message is hard to follow. If I need to clear anything up please let me know.
