Strange PageRank problem

kevgibbo · 03-10-2006, 12:43 AM

I've just read an article about rightmove.co.uk floating on the stock exchange. There website has 98,000 indexed pages and over 1,000 backlinks yet they have a PageRank of 1!

Does anyone elsefind this a bit weird? It is their main website as .com redirects to .co.uk and the alexa traffic rating for the website shows that it is not a brand new domain name. It's almost as if Google have punished them for breaching rules by lowering the websites PR.

maybe their backlinks are link farms or not related to their site. or they have broken links or something.

Most of the problem is the web site has some back link not related to its content .For example if you own a web site about BMW and 99 of the 100 total back link is from non-car related site.You will only considered one back link only in this case
