If I look at
www.ranking.com (don't know how reliable or accurate it is) it tells me that Hub-UK has 4,255 links.
As an afterthought I decided to check cookingforengineers.com and find it has no links!
According to
www.ranking.com:
cookingforengineers.com is ranked 149,076
Hub-UK is ranked 80,528.
(I am not bothered about where I rank against cookingforengineers.com, it is just a convenient benchmark.)
There seem to be so many misleading ways to gauge your site. What I am keen to do is improve my Google page rank as that dictates how much I get paid by certain subscribers to my site. I would obviously like to increase my visitor numbers as well but that should naturally happen if I can get a higher page rank.
Obviously page rank has nothing to do with the size of a site (mine is over 3,500 pages). I think age does get taken into consideration because I have seen some atrocious sites with little content that have a page rank of 5/10. So is it primarily links that dictate the site page rank with Google?
