4 SEO Websites That Should Blatantly Have Higher PageRank Scores
Do any of you get annoyed when you see usability and web design sites with phat PageRank scores of 7, 8 or 9 out of 10 whilst our very best SEO sites are only getting a score of 5 or 6? I do, here are 4 really popular SEO websites that I think deserve higher PR scores:
1/ In my honest opinion SEOmoz.org should have a PageRank score of at least 7/10 on its homepage. There are 156,000 organic links pointing to it and the SEOmoz.org domain has 1.8 million links in total including link from places like the New York Times and the BBC – the kind of links you drool over. SEOmoz haven’t cheated the system, they got those links because they are incredible at what they do, so why are they not getting the PageRank they deserve?
2/ Next up is SEO Book, another website that should have a PageRank 7/10 on its homepage, but it doesn’t because someone at Google thinks we need to be kept in check. The site has a similar link profile to SEOmoz with 176,000 links pointing at its homepage and there are about half a million links pointing to the SEOBook.com domain in total including dream links from places like The Guardian and the Wall Street Journal.
3/ Jim Boykin’s site We Build Pages has attracted organic links from places like Search Engine Land and Labnol.org thanks to it having kick ass articles published on its blog. Plus the free SEO tools that it offers have gained the site loads. The WeBuildPages.com domain has around 32,000 links pointing to its homepage and about 48,000 links in total. Currently the We Build Pages homepage only has a PageRank score of 5/10, the amount of quality links it has should easily make it a 6.
4/ The BigMouthMedia website has been around for years and it has some amazing links from places like Wired and W3 thanks to it having white papers published on it and about 5 years worth of industry news. According to siteexplorer there are about 26,000 links pointing to the BigMouthMedia homepage and there about 38,000 links pointing to the site as a whole. The BigMouthMedia homepage only has a PR score of 5/10.
Stop spanking our PR scores Google!

hmmm…I am thinking of the the best 5 SEO websites this past few days,,,, and this 4 top SEO sites mentioned above is the same as what goes on my mind….well….gudluck to the other SEO sites…

True…although pagerank isn’t important, its the SERPS and traffic that arrive…
September 1st, 2009 at 2:26 pm
Yes these deserve a better PR at least 8 each but in fact i think SERP matter more then the page rank and traffic is very important for a website.
September 10th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
I can see your piont.
However as mentioned above Pagerank is no longer as important. Pagerank is only an indication and should be used for that purpose only.
Far to many people chase pagerank.
The most important aspect should be traffic.

At the end of the day all the page rank in the world won’t help you pay the bills if your business is not growing.
September 14th, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Does’nt it proove that there is something wrong with Google pagerank algorithm.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:58 pm
I agree, I’ve found that traffic far out weighs page rank when considering your own sites performance. Page rank begins to play a larger role when building links but only pertaing to the sites that your links are coming from, not really yours.

As long as these sites haven’t promoted some kind of ‘link to us’ exchange then you’re right, they should be higher.
There are directories out there that have higher PR simply because they INSIST on a backlink, those are the sites that should get penalised in my opinion.

Real life observation tells us that, more often than not, those who work the hardest achieve the most.
October 1st, 2009 at 12:02 pm
Hi David.
I agree with you that the above four site has less PR what they actual should get…
But another thing is that the only back links are not the key fact for high PR of any site. There may be some other factors which affect the Google PR.
I think we shouldn’t give the stress only the PR of a site, If the site gots less business to their competitor so what is the value for high PR. The PR is more valuable in the sense of Web marketing but not in any other factors……..
Thanks!!

I find SEOBook and SEOmoz really helpful for tips and tricks.
October 4th, 2009 at 7:51 pm
I think you are right. These excellent SEO web marketing sources should enjoyed a higher PR from Google than what they have right now. Why is Google so slow to reward such great sites?

Im sure big mouths website dissapeared for a while was this google saying they had done soemthing wrong?
November 18th, 2009 at 11:39 am
I agree but luckily PR isn’t that important anymore…
November 29th, 2009 at 4:39 am
Yes I agree for seomoz.org. I am using this site for long time. Very good articles and seo tools. Site has got solid visitors. Why these sites shouldn’t get good page rank.
December 7th, 2009 at 1:11 am
Hey I didn’t know about 2 of these websites so thank you, I’m checking those out.
But yeah Google should give them some better score.
December 16th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
Great post in highlighting some really good companies.
December 18th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Hasn’t bigmouth had previous issues with google though?
December 20th, 2009 at 9:59 am
Totally agree on this one. Especially for SEOMoz and SEOBook. Great example how bogus Google’s PageRank really is.
December 23rd, 2009 at 2:18 pm
Thanks for info.
I have a question though, my twitter page has Pagerank 5, is it valuable for my website ranking? Some people say it’s useless. little bit confused?

No wonder why they have a higher page rank score on net, they are all truly helpful and deserve to be on top because their information, tips and advices are really wonderful that even a newbie can easily adopt.
January 12th, 2010 at 1:37 am
Google doesn’t always get it right.
January 13th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
Frankly Page rank has lost its fire for me, I dont even look at it any more… its not worth it.
Like someone else said, its the traffic and conversions that count!

Link building is like drugs. You always want more, now , and sometime will do whatever it takes. Better the machines. Xrummer can post a 1,000,000 blog and forum post, and do it pretty darn well in about 4 hours. natural, heck no, but the programs keep getting better and better. Links like a drug, draw you to the dark site. use the force, one link and relationship at a time. the force can also include out sourcing your slow but sure Method.
