Question by rossano: Google Toolbar send usage statistics to improve pagerank while using Google Analytics?
Hi,

Does anyone know if using Google Toolbar with turning on sending usage statistics in the options improves the site’s pagerank even though I have Google Analytics installed on my website?

My other question is I have a feeling something is not right with our website Pagerank because some of the pages are showing 0/10 or unranked even though they’ve been live on the internet for a long time and have been getting many hits.

Is it possible the URL redirection mask using ASP.NET is causing it? or perhaps is it HTML errors?

Thank you kindly,
Aaron.

Using Google toolbar has nothing to do with improving your pagerank — as pagerank is all about who links to you and what their authority is. Otherwise every single website will just use a Google toolbar to boost their usage

If they still have 0 pagerank, check:

- are they linked from your site (internal linking)
- are other sites linking to the page
- are there errors in the page such as duplicate meta description
- explore other options for redirection so you can check if that redirection mask using ASP.net has something to do with it
