I have a question. yesterday and today Google PageRank was updated. Sites that started up at the same time as mine such as art4fusion.com and leomessi.com.pl both got pagerank 2. they also use php-fusion. My site, PolishGoals.com has 32,650 unique views and 500 users. the forum is much more active then theirs, and I have more news articles. They only have 10,000 and 1,500 unique views, respectively.

My site got a pagerank of... 0. It's been online for 2 months. What's up with that? Any particular reasons? I decided to change the theme today, maybe that will help. does anyone have a clue as to why those sites which are visited less often then mine have pageranks of 2 and mine only has a 0??

Use pageranktool.net, it show pagerank on all datacenters
PR don't depends on visitors and viewings your site.
(sorry for my english :)

i know whats wrong. You get pagerank on http://yoursite.com, but PHP Fusion redirects to http://yoursite.com/news.php, so it will show 0 pagerank

I suggest you to remove that redirect in index.php ... Its very SEO unfriendly

The redirect very badly influences indexation by search engines, but PR here at anything

I totally agree. :)

In my own opinion although the method may not be suitable in the eyes of some the following is the ideal answer to the current index.php problem.
I have used this on all client sites and found that it works well.
Use it if you want or learn from it whatever takes your fancy :)

Code Download source


//redirect($settings['opening_page']);
if(file_exists($settings['opening_page'])) {
   include_once $settings['opening_page'];
}
else {
   require_once THEMES."templates/header.php";
   opentable("Welcome");
   echo '<div align="center">It seems there is a misconfiguration setting and this page is not available at this time<br> Please use the navigation links to browse the site.</div>';
   closetable();
   require_once THEMES."templates/footer.php";
}

Warning: This code is from current client development files for version 7 you will need to alter the header and footer includes to use this in version 6 sites.

It should look like this (cause you can't include a "GET"-page. eg: viewpage.php?id=5)

//redirect($settings['opening_page']);
if(file_exists($settings['opening_page']) && !strstr($settings['opening_page'],"?")) {
 include_once $settings['opening_page'];
}
else {
 require_once THEMES."templates/header.php";
 opentable("Welcome");
 echo '<div align="center">It seems there is a misconfiguration setting and this page is not available at this time<br> Please use the navigation links to browse the site.</div>';
 closetable();
 require_once THEMES."templates/footer.php";
}

But you have to include maincore.php (for getting the $settings) and you then you already have included maincore.php. (You include it in index.php and in news.php)

3 months later and my site now has a PageRank of 5. Looks like php-fusion being bad for your pagerank is a myth.

My site is 5 months old and has a PR of 5. :)
I dont think i'll ever understand Google.

Well, you probably hadn't submitted the URL to Google. Ever think of that? Just because your site exists does NOT mean Google knows about it. You have to submit it to Google here. But if any page on your site shows up on Google, DON'T resubmit it! But Google may have been indexing a site such as PHPFusion (it doesn't matter which site, as long as it had a link to your domain), and it followed a link to your site and indexed it. So now it has been entered into Google's database, and that's why you don't need to resubmit it.

A quick note: resubmitting your URL to Google AFTER Google has your domain in it's database will NEVER EVER get your site indexed faster.

I should know these things - hence my username. ;)

lol I submitted my site to google a week after it was registered and it showed up in the search 3 days later.

Maybe the large amount of backlinks that I have boosted my pagerank? Pretty much all of them are related. I have a soccer site, and hence my backlinks are from soccer sites. I think that boosts the PR a lot. Getting irrelevant links hurts your PR more than it helps it in my opinion :/ I think it makes the links look worthless in the eyes of Google, as they are evidently there to only boost PR rather than to help users find familiar sites.

It all depends. But if your link is posted in a lot of places that "I" constantly index, then "I'll" be led to that page over and over, and as a result the PR will be boosted. But if there are a few scattered links here and there, chances are it won't do anything.

Are you actually from Google? :D

I took my news.php and made of copy of it renaming it to index.php.

I then went to /administration/settings_main.php and changed Site opening page:
from news.php to index.php

this worked like a charm.

Also I changed my "Site name:" to the most important name I want in the search engines. Brought me to number one within one week.
