Google Page Rank Update Settling Down
So the Google Page Rank update seems to be settling down. My sites have be fluxing for about 2 weeks now. A few are still fluxing at the moment but most are starting to become steady. On the plus note just about all my sites have gained at least 1PR. The few that didn’t gain at least stayed the same and had subpages raise. Please post comments on how your sites’ are fairing in this update.
One thing to note is that it seems Google has fixed the problem with giving two different page ranks to the / and the /index.html. HOWEVER! This is funny. Google didn’t seem to fix that problem with the index.php. This forces me to ask one question. What the hell?! Once you figure out how to properly concatenate one how hard could it possibly be to duplicate the process it for the other popular extentions?
With the wake of Big Daddy and the PR update I am opening Blue Hat SEO up to site reviews. If you would like to receive some input on your site feel free to either email me or post it as a comment. Whether it be layout reviews or SEO reviews feel free to let me know where your concerns lay and I will be happy to give any help I can. If you email me also be sure to note whether or not you mind your review being posted on BlueHatSEO.com. As long as people don’t mind I would like to make the most part of my reviews public incase I happen to find something that may be of help to others.
The SE will never know that you have an index.php if you do things right.
Unless there’s a link to index.php, Google wouldn’t know whether your index page is index.php, foo.bar, or google.bot. Just make sure that whenever you link, link to the directory, and not a filename.
Good post NevDull I completely agree. I also would like to point out to make sure your inbound links go to the www. version as well. Interesting note on what you mentioned; I have noticed many sites have a problem with their breadcrumbs. For those of you who aren’t sure what breadcrumbs are they are the category headers that are usually links whenever you’re deep into a directory, commerce, or article site.
example:
Top > Catalog > Subpage1 > Subpage 2
If the scripts are installed in the root they put the top as your defined domain. IE. www.domain.com and the catalog as your index www.domain.com/index.php. Like NevDull said if your site falls victim to this it helps to fix it as soon as possible.
