Last night Google increased the PR of my site (תאורה) from 1 to 2. The site is four months old. My next goal is PR 3.

Anyone knows what are the requirements to achieve pr3? I guess that to achieve this I will need several hundreds of low-PR links and/or less than hundred mid-quality links. This is only a guess, I will be happy to learn from SEO experts what steps are recommended to achieve PR3.

Cheers,

Hallelujah!

We are out of Google' sanbox. At the end of June I submitted my site (תאורה) map to Google. Now, 4 months later, we are "out of the sandbox".

"sandbox" means that by low-frequency search terms you’ll get traffic from search engines, but mid-frequency and high-frequency search terms you won’t have passes from search engines at all until you are "out of the sandbox". The Sandbox effect can last up to six months.

Cheers,...

Hi,

I opened new blog in LiveJournal. At the same time I opened blogs in posterous and xanga. I post the same content to all three blogs. Interestingly, LiveJournal has been indexed by Google almost immediately, while the other two has not been indexed by Google (yet?).
