I am a bit confused about something.
A little over a month ago I launched a new web site SHARPS and FLATS (http://sharpsandflats.com/). To the best of my knowledge I used sound SEO techniques that are described on this site. Such as:
- every page has a unique title tag
- every page has a unique meta description
- all pages link back to the home page
- the entire site is rich with text and it just so happens that the text is naturally keyword rich
- any time a keyword is mentioned in any of the text it is internally linked to a page about that
- all external links to 3rd party web sites are made through an out.php script
- all actual external links that appear anywhere on the new site are linked to other sites that I own and those sites link back to that one
- I have a blog and a twitter that have a couple of links to the new site
- I have a couple of other sites that link to the new site, without the new site linking to them
So, after over a month my PR is still a round zero. Also, Google backwards links search shows that there are no links to my site (which is absolutely not true).
What is confusing is that this new site showed up on the first page of Google, in just about all search results that I can think of as relevant to that site. Also, I have a script that follows incoming traffic and I see that people are finding me through Google through all the relevant search terms.
So, I am a bit puzzled that my PR is zero, that Google still doesn't show any incoming links, but the page is already on the first page of on all relevant Google searches.
Is Google just slow at updating the PR and incoming links? Or am I missing something completely?
