    why Pagerank has been 0 for some months now..

    Hi everyone, thanks for reading

    i have been using VBSEO for some years now and am pretty happy.

    i have been wondering why have my forums' pagerank remain Zero on all forums pages for quite some time. I used to have page ranks for certain sections. but not recently. My wordpress frontpage has pagerank 2

    Here are some details about my site:
    Monthly Pageviews: 5.5million
    Monthly Uniques: 350,000
    Members: 83,000
    VBulletin version: 3.8.2
    VBseo version 3.3.2

    here's the link

    Questions:
    -What could be the reasons for Zero pagerank for so long?
    -What are the possible ways to fix this?

    Thanks!
    Tom

    Pagerank is a useless figure. It's best to simply ignore it. It has zero bearing on traffic, ranking, or anything else. The only people it matters to are link sellers.... and since google punishes sites for placing paid links anyway, it really offers zero value for marketing to your site whatsoever.

    hi Brian

    thanks for the reply.
    i can live with Zero pagerank actually

    I just need to know for sure if there's anything wrong with the site that it's not producing with page ranks whereas my wordpress sites get's at least 1 or 2 pr

    some sections of my forums exceeds the activity of my content pages (powered by wordpress) yet has 0 pr compared to the wordpress's 2 pr

    I also have an active classifieds section within the forums which gets a lot of thread bumps from the users who's fighting to get top of the thread lists. I'm just worried it might be the useless bump replies that's causing this

    thanks!
    Tom

    The only way to increase page rank is increase the links back to your site

    yup, it's a completely useless metric.
