Something must be seriously off with Google Page Ranking right now. I am coming from forums where i read how some web sites reached PR5 (!) within a couple of months.

Some other people report that they saw sites getting page rank 4 or 5 in 3 months with a few backlinks. Low quality, crappy sites.

www.1up-seo.com is up for over 3 years now, and i remember we once had PR2 but i let the site go and for some reason 1up's PR dropped to 0. Right now we have almost 600 backlinks, and i get "some" traffic to the site. About 600 pages are indexed in Google and i am ranking well for some SEO related keywords.

Still: PR0 <---- This must be a big joke.

According to website grader 1up-seo has 91/100, that is it has a blog, RSS feeds, and it it has a pretty good alexa rank :

Your website has an Alexa rank of 360,512 which is in the top 1.159 % of all websites.

You can check for yourself on websitegrader.com <---

I think it's an utter joke that i am still at page rank 0 and i am 100% convinced it is some kind of penalty from Google. I am also convinced that Google's page ranking algorithm is totally screwed up, otherwise how can it be explained that some new sites can gain PR5 in a couple of months while a 3 year old site with 600 legit, non-black hat backlinks stays at PR0??

Sorry...this is total BS. Sometimes i wish that Google people would read this and would comment. I know why i dont have that Google tool bar anymore...so i usually dont even see PR unless i go on a site and explicitly check their rank. Google doesn't like 1up-seo.com and i would REALLY want to know why and why the ridiculous PR0?
