Google PageRank: We don't get you.

Earlier our SEO division was part of eCreeds Web Design Company; but due increase demand for SEO services, some months back we started work on Redonads - SEO Company, the SEO division of Redon Solutions.

Developing a SEO website showing all the services we offer was top on our list, hence we had registered redonads.com, and put up a under construction page, for some reason we allowed the site to be indexed and also linked to it from our blog posts and comments.

Soon we saw that the site had a PR 0, when page rank was updated in July, that was quite understandable considering the website had no quality content. We didn't want the site to be launched with PR 0, hence we used Robots.txt Exclusion Protocol or REP so that bots are off limit till every single bell and whistle was in it's place on the website.

On 27th September Page Rank was updated again, and guess what the RedonAds website that's currently blocked using REP has got a Page Rank of 3.

PageRank is a mix of many things your backlinks and content are part of them, Now in the case of redonads content was out and PR was more inclined towards the backlinks, hence it did relatively well compared to July.

Hence my advice is if your site is underdevelopment its better you use REP than show a Search Engines under construction or half developed site. Further its a good idea to start building up those links even if the site not yet ready... You could do a blog post saying your site will be launched soon.
