Recently 22.04 media recreated the Eagelcrest Resorts website repurposing the site from an investment website to a resort real estate sales website. Less than one month later I noticed that 2 pages have achieved a PR 6 on the google toolbar. How did this happen? With google there is no real way on knowing why, I can only offer what I have done.
How It's Built
All of the websites I build offer solid on page SEO, that is a good keyword title, matching h1 and content on topic. I use alt tags with keywords, and on this particular site I wrote all the content so it may have more keywords than a non-seo site like the previous version. The site is build on a concrete5 CMS, and also uses google analytics and a google sitemap account.
This site has a few differences from other sites I've made:
1. Numerous images, meaning more alt tags.
2. Integrated Youtube videos. The location page features 3 seperate videos about La Paz which may have been linked to, and the home page has another video. The youtube account does have the eaglecrest link in the profile.
3. Several PDF documents for download.
Off-site Work
I also had launched the REI Gallery which google webmaster tools reports 4 links from REI gallery to eaglecrest resorts. Note REI gallery has no page rank and is a brand new site.
There seems to be a few other links to the site, from old directory sites I submitted to and in a news group.
Did the PR6 help?
The website does list well for a number of good keywords, and traffic is actually arriving for things other than "eaglecrest" so in that sense it is a success. On the other hand in a straigt up search for a keyword in the title it doesn't beat lower PR sites so the PR6 may be less important than having good keyword content.
