Bleeding Page Rank and more...

[Westcoast]

Anyone want to give up some information on "Bleeding Page Rank "
and what to do about it?

What, if anything, does "no follow tags" have to do with stopping
page rank bleed and what the devil do they look like?

....and what's the code that can be inserted in the
htaccess. file that's suppose to redirect (?) and stop page rank bleeding?

Thank you for sharing from your massive experience.

...and if you have incoming links that are not on topic with your
niche site and they are hurting your page rank, what's the point to joining
all these "automatic" link exchanges?

...and what the heck does it mean when your page rank goes up a
notch and your Alexa plummets like a falling meteor on the same day...:-?

This is not multiple choice...anybody have all the answers?!

Thank you for sharing from your massive experience.....oh, yeah I said
that already..geez "duplicate content"..whoops :oops:

Thanks, Dan.
I knew you were tied up this week and really didn't expect your
fast response. Thanks for the links.
I thought maybe some others might provide some thoughts and info on
the topics.

Hi,
Interesting discussion going on, right now, about page rank.
The counter point being that there are many, many successful websites
with low or no page rank.

While keeping in mind to build quality sites with good content, success of a website, from an online business standpoint, should be
measured by it's financial success, in others word, how much money it makes.

So?...you may ask. So.. many websites that are financially successful
do not have high page rank and some don't show rank at all.

Maybe we should be concentrating on measuring our website's success
by the profit it produces by providing good products, services, information, and then conversion to sales.
What do you think?
