Increase Your PR with Yahoo!

2005.08.30.13.04

One of the best ways to increase your PageRank is to have incoming links from high PR webpages. While it may sound simplistic getting incoming links isn’t an easy task, let alone getting incoming links from high PR webpages.

Why would anyone with a PR7 link a PR1 page? Content.

This may not be a major enlightenment but if you look around Yahoo! has a lot of high PR pages in its directory. For example the Web Page Design and Layout has a PR6 and it’s not very hard to get listed there if your website has something to do with webdesign and such.

You want to find a matching category and click on the Suggest A Site link at the bottom of the page. Give it a few weeks and if Yahoo! finds your page relevant and useful they might just give you that high PR incoming link, for free.

JErmExpress.com has a PR5 and I think most of it is because I’m listed by Yahoo!

Hm. I don’t think so, beause Yahoo uses a redirector:

Mmm interesting observation, but other than Yahoo! I have no other ideas that makes sense of why I have a PR5.

PR is used by Google to indicate “importance” of your page. However, since PR tool that comes with Google Toolbar isn’t live, PR pretty much makes no difference in SEO. There are plenty of other variables to determine the relevance of a site.

I researched a few things on PR you can check em out if you’re interested:

as Fletcher said, yahoo dir doesn’t pass PageRank by using a redirection technique that forbids that process.

Although Yahoo directory had PR8 for the main page, the pagerank of pages inside is usually 5 or below. And since the pages contain so many links, I wonder if paying so much to Yahoo for putting a link is worth it.

I can’t figure Yahoo’s system at all. I get tons of hits from google, and several from MSN and AOL. I get nothing from Yahoo. Any ideas?

Thanks for the thought jerm! Obviously, if this ever did work it’s outdated for sure by now.

I’ll have to check your more current postings and see what’s cooking!
