Thread: Google PR Factor found?

  1. #1
    PrivateInvestigator Guest

    Question Google PR Factor found?

    I found that if you have fresh header info for each of your pages they will stand a chance of getting a PR rank.

    I used to do the keywords, description, title tags for the main page and then just copy them exactly (as well as the page design) into other pages and then just add the new page content.

    If you have a different title, description, keywords for the page then it may get PR. If you keep them the same as another page in your site it won't get PR.

    Did any of you notice this?

    Thanks for the top PrivateInvestigator,
    I used to do the same as you do copy/paste the meta tags to all my pages, but now I am changing my startegy concerning this and write an appropriate meta for each page! No changes for now, I will wait for the next PR update

    I think google don't use Meta Keywords, it uses content on your site instead to rank it.

    that is true in a way etechsupport, less weight is given to meta tags these days

    Yep, I think better to have them than not, but if you have other better SEO factors I would say, do not spend more time on meta keywords.

    Google does not even index the meta keywords tag. but you should place it there for other search engines and directories to use.

    Yahoo uses them, almost to the tee.

    I am having a challenge here, not with you guys but with the SEO world. Google does use <META> tags!

    A classsic example is my website www.dmscs.co.uk

    It has pulled my site description off and uses that in the description in the results page.

    DMCS who said Google doesn't use META tags? I said google doesn't use the KEYWORDS meta tag. It totally ignores it, and does not even use it for search. How do I know? I know because I have a test page with a made up word in the keywords meta. This word does not appear anywhere else on the web, making my test page the ONLY result for it. The page has been spidered and cached, and the page is not returned for the search. Proof positive that the Keywords meta is ignored.

    With regard your description being shown. If the description is deemed to be the most relevent snippet for the phrase your searching for, then Google will display that. One thing to note though is that the text the search engines display differs with search terms being used. The search engines display snippets of text from the page. Sometimes they use the dmoz title and description, sometimes they use the sites description, and sometimes they just grab a few bits of text from the copy.

    Meta tags are sometimes used as the snippet of a site's content in SE result pages by google, I hope they have still some influence to determine a site contents.
