I have just been told the following by a web designer: "I thought your message board (forum) pages had a page rank but they don't as they are set up as sessions" What does this mean? Thanks Nathan |

On my Google bar, this thread for example does not have a Page Rank. Maybe Google just have not spidered it yet? With my WWG forum though, why have I been told the pages are sessions? What exactly does this mean? Thanks |

Your web designer dosen't have a clue what he/she is on about, web wiz forums does not use sessions. I think maybe your web designer is refering to using query strings, which google does index and does give page ranks to these types of pages. (By the way all forums use query strings) Google can a does index pages within the forum and if your site has a page rank google will also give the forum pages it indexes page ranks. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Hmmmm... yesterday, this page was page rank 4, today... no page rank. Go figure! Page Rank is an indication of a site's importance within a category of search terms. It goes on a scale from 0 to 10. Some categories, don't have PR 10 and their highest rank may be much lower. One factor that affects your google ranking is how many highly ranked pages link to you. You won't be hurt by low ranked pages linking to you, but you may not be helped. Where your page ranking can be hurt is if you link out to pages not in your category, and it seems that the higher ranked your wrong-category outbound links are, the more you are hurt. As with any other "advice" about search engines, what's true today may be wrong tomorrow. Your best strategy is still to have good content. -------------

If links going out of my site can hurt my PR (currently 5), what about links posted in my forums? some have their hompage in their signature. Others post helpful links to other sites when answering questions? Nathan |

I wouldn't worry about it to much. IIRC, your site was about Corfu (?). The home page links may/may not be detrimental - I'd call it even. The helpful links are probably related to content on your site. -------------
