If your signature links are your sites, then you can easily back off, because even a novice webmaster can achieve better PR than PR2 and PR3.
For your reference:



Your high post number here does not mean everything, and I wonder how can AF staff tolerate such aggressive approach toward new members. There are countless of other webmaster related forums which are more popular and do not "cocky" members like yourself.

Have a nice day.
Val.
All of what you just wrote basically means nothing. Pagerank looks to me like it was a marketing ploy by Google to get people completely spastic over absolutely nothing. You can whore up tons of directories, buy link exchanges with sites that have no value to you other than pagerank and get the pagerank you'd like yet still have no first page keyword SERPs. Looks like it backfired as google now has to have even more spam killing equations built in as people are just obsessed with PR.

As Brent posted above, I doubt anyone who knows what they're doing cares about pagerank, other than really just a quick reference (and I don't even use it for that). I'm competing with sites 5 or 6 years older than me, and that have 500,000 more posts than my forum and I'm above or near them in solid keywords. I have a PR of 2...





As for the URL Structure, I don't think that the folder a post is in is really going to help and In my PERSONAL opinion makes it look sloppy. I dont like /general-discussion-about-just-anything-youd-like/OMG-OMG-OMG.html it just looks bleh. I like to do basic search engine optimization with my URL's, but worrying about more important things like content will help you much more in my short time of experience so far.

The owners have claimed in no way to be SEO experts or given anyone any reason why their opinion on the URLs is anymore valid than a person's that doesn't use keywords in the URLs.
Personally I have seen URLs with keyword in them (especially in domain name) rank better due to it, on few occasions, irrespective of the lack of links/age/content in them.

I would personally prefer the following URL structure, domain.com/topicname-id.html, its to the point and gives the link viewer a brief intro of what the link is about.

How is that beneficial to the user? It's not. It's going to excessive points to try to attract better rankings. If you take care of the basic SEO principles of removing duplicate content, duplicate urls and providing content rich information that visitors are going to want to link to then you don't have to worry about anything.
Couldn’t agree more, this is keyword stuffing and can backfire if Google or other search engines manually review your site or change their algorithms to deal with this issue.

IT IS TOO EARLY for him to tell anyone if it has helped, made more money, improved rankings, or traffic. It takes time, SEO is a time thing, no instant gratification there.
