You should be. If you
have never heard of Google PageRank and you have established a website, it is
high time you learned about Google PageRank and what it means to you and the
success of your website. Having an excellent Google PageRank can either make or
break a website in terms of overall success. Let’s take a look at what Google
PageRank is and why it is so important to every website owner.
First, a word about the
Google Search engine: Google is one of the most popular search engines on the
Internet. Not only is Google’s search engine the absolute largest of its kind,
the company focuses on making web information easy to access and even easier to
find. Google has designed a unique system and the search engine has yet to be
surpassed in terms of the information it provides. Google has grown immensely
since its early beginning in 1996 and it will continue to be a predominant
force on the Internet. Furthermore, because Google offers easy access to
immediate information, they own one of the top Internet search engines in the
world. Thus, it would serve a webmaster well to become familiar with the Google
PageRank process-the Google PageRank is an algorithm that is based on inbound
links and other factors and will ultimately determine the location of listing
of your website in the Google Search Engine.
What precisely is Google
PageRank?
Google PageRank is a
process the search engine’s uses as a way of selecting sites to answer specific
queries. Basically, when an Internet user submits a query, the Google search
engine will attempt to match websites to the query that has been posed. Yet,
there is a bit more to this simple science than the act of submitting a query
suggests. Rather, behind the scenes, Google uses specific algorithms to
determine if a site specifically address a web user’s needs by analyzing the
content of a site by keyword and by the number of inbound links associated with
the site-every inbound link is viewed as a vote and the more votes one has, in
conjunction with the more keywords one has, the higher their Google PageRank
is.
Why is Your Google
PageRank Significant?
What does it mean to you
when your Google PageRank is increased? Does it really matter what your Google
PageRank is at all? You bet it does-the higher your Google PageRank is the
higher on a search engine’s listing your website will appear. Thus, if you are
looking for top billing, especially in a search engine as popular as the one
Google offers, you will definitely want to maximize your efforts of getting
your website visible and improving your PageRank is the best way to accomplish
such a task. Moreover, the higher you appear on the search engine listing
offered by Google, or many other search engines, the easier your website is to
find. Essentially this equates to more web traffic for your website and if you
are running an online business, more web traffic ultimately means more profit
for you.
Making Google PageRank
Improvements
If you are looking to
improve your Google PageRank you can do so by starting a link campaign. A link
campaign can help you increase more inbound links to your website and in turn,
more inbound links will increase your Google PageRank. How do you start a link
campaign? Well, you can go the hard route by scouring the Internet to find
websites similar to your own. Or, you can make your link campaign a far easier
process by using the services afforded to you by PageRank Browser and locate
all of the best, themed websites on the Internet with relative ease.
Of course, there are few
things you must bear in mind when you begin your link campaign. Google actually
rates various links and holds some links higher than others. In other words, if
you link to 100 less than popular sites you may increase your Google PageRank.
Conversely, if you link to 50 extremely popular sites and you get inbound links
in return, you may significantly increase your Google PageRank because the most
popular sites on the Internet are linking directly too you. Thus, when you
begin your link campaign, keep this popularity issue in the back of your mind.
Further, know that in using PageRank Browser, you will be able to locate the
popular sites with ease, and thereby significantly increase your Google
PageRank.
About Inbound Links
Quite frankly, some links
that you will establish will be better than others. You goal will be to establish
the best links possible by examining the quality of inbound links. Various
webmaster tools can help you determine the quality of the reciprocal links you
establish. You will want to work hard at establishing direct inbound links to
your site-direct links from already popular websites. You will also need to
establish links to websites that are similar to yours-remember the search
engine algorithm used by Google to determine your page rank is based on
relevance. You will also find that the location of inbound links is of
significant importance. For example, when you establish inbound links, those
links that are buried deep within a website will have less influence on the
ranking of your website in Google’s search engine.
What is clear is that
your Google PageRank is of significant importance. Thus, every effort should be
used to improve your Google PageRank-with the use of webmaster tools and the
use of sites like PageRank Browser you should have little difficulty getting
your PageRank right where it should be. Therefore, you will not only improve
your PageRank you will improve the web traffic you receive by leaps and bounds.
Moreover, your improved PageRank will make you a force on the Internet to be
reckoned with-you will have a highly recognizable website for all your efforts
and you will ultimately improve your online business’ bottom line.

The buzzword of the hour is ‘SEO’. It has transformed the
architecture of sites, brought about many new jobs, and is now considered
vitally important for those that want to take their online operations to the
next level. In its simplest form, search engine optimization (or “SEO”) is
about doing everything you can to boost your natural ranking in the major
search engines. The algorithm that ranks your site (despite variations across
engines) is a compilation of many different variables. There is no one magic
secret or special key you can turn. The goal is really to check off as many
variables as possible from that algorithm. The kicker is that, for the most
part, we don’t actually know what is contained in these algorithms that are so
important to us. We can, however, make educated guesses. And there are several
aspects of SEO that most, if not all, industry professionals agree on. One of
those factors is the importance of link-building.
The Internet was built upon links. Sites link to one another
to guide users through relevant information. Since these links basically mean,
“there’s relevant information on this site,” each link pointing towards your
site counts as a “vote” towards it. These votes help improve your natural
ranking, especially when coupled with a well-built SEO friendly site. The big
question is, of course, how do I go about getting other sites to link mine?
Fortunately, the answer is an easy one, because there are many well run search
engine friendly directories that would be more than happy to link to your site
as part of their directory.
But the most popular directories receive thousands of
applications to review. As such, they develop rules and guidelines for your
submission. These rules are put in place to ensure that the submission and
approval process can flow as smoothly as possible, as well as to help the
directory select only the sites that are, in fact, relevant. And so the
question returns: how do I ensure that my site gets accepted into the
high-quality, top web directories?
It is very easy to adhere to the rules of a web directory
with very little effort. In addition, because the editors of any directory are
really looking for the same things, the rules from web directory to web
directory tend to be very similar.
Count Those Characters:
One of the big rules imposed by directories has to do with
the length of your title, description and keywords. If there were no limit,
some people would write an essay for descriptions and cram in every possible
keyword. Let me assure you that no directory editor wants to review a site
application that could be broken up into chapters! Directories impose
restrictions that essentially force you to be straight to the point. You might
not be able to say everything about your site, so pick the most important
points and go with that. Before you start submitting anywhere, sit back and
write a few well-formulated descriptions that span 100, 150, 200, and 250
characters. One of those four levels will generally work in any web directory
you come across. Once that’s done, most of the hard work is out of the way. Now
all you have to do is look for the character requirements, copy and paste your
blurb of that length, and you’re all set. The same thing holds true for
keywords, so prepare a few different options so that, come submission time,
it’s just a matter of picking the right one.
Would You Approve A Spam Filled Site Application?
Do not spam your directory listings. That can’t be more
clearly stated, yet for some reason, people still do it. You are never going to
get listed in any human reviewed directory when you try this tactic. An example
of this would be that if you sell widgets, when you submit your information you
repeat the word ‘widgets’ in your title, description, and keywords as many
times as possible. Typically comprehension takes a back seat as the focus
becomes cramming the word in as many times as possible. Directory editors hate
this and it’s a very easy rejection. If you think that even attempting to spam
like this is helpful, you might want to think again. If you spend time
submitting to web directories with poorly articulated, spam-filled information,
you are going to get rejected. You’ve then wasted a lot of your time and gotten
absolutely nothing in return.
Choose The Right Category:
Web directories are sorted by topic and editors typically
take great pride in ensuring that everything stays well organized. A tiny
little bit of effort on your part to choose the right category can vastly
improve your chances of being listed without any delay. The reason is simply
that if you are an editor and you want to approve a site, you probably only
have to click one button. But, if that site chose the wrong category, then you
need to edit the application to modify the category (and now the editor has to
find the correct category in the hierarchy!), which takes more time. If you are
the editor sitting there with thousands of applications to process, it’s much
easier to click the ‘reject’ button than it is to start fumbling through
categories. So, put yourself in their shoes and do them a favor, because ultimately
it’s you and your site that stand to benefit when you are approved.
A successful web directory submission campaign is when you
maximize your time so that you get listed in the most directories possible. By
following the above tips, you can help ensure you get approved, which goes a
long way towards achieving your goal. With everything pre-written and good
intentions to play by the rules, you’ll be flying through your submission
campaign in no time.

Have you been hit by Penguin 2.1? Are you unsure how to tackle hummingbird? Read on to discover 4 powerful link building ideas that you can use on your SEO blog or internet marketing blog.
Publish A Press Release To Announce A New Post
Many bloggers believe that press releases are limited to the business world and that they do not apply to blogging, whether you run an SEO blog or an internet marketing blog. This could not be further from the truth. Many bloggers treat their site like a business both through monetization and promotional activities. As a result, it is no surprise to see the best bloggers publishing press releases on top networks like SBWire and PR Log to announce their new content. This is a great way to get Google to pick up on your new content, and it can even get you into the Google News feed, offering extra visibility which can drive extra traffic.
Ask Other Bloggers If You Can Write A Guest Post
A very popular trend in generating quality backlinks is to ask other bloggers if you can write an article for their site which includes a link back to your own SEO blog. To be successful with this tactic, you need to first build a relationship with the other internet marketing blog in question. The best way to do this is to connect with the writer in as many ways possible, for example on Twitter, Facebook and Google +, as well as becoming an active member of the community on their own blog through commenting. Once you have built some trust, you can approach them and offer writing a post for them. Suggest some topics or titles and links back to your best pieces of content to show off your writing quality.
Try Reverse Guest Blogging To Get A Foot In The Door
If your blog commands a decent amount of traffic, you should invite influential bloggers in your industry to write a post on your site. In return for your content, you should agree to promote their own SEO blog through your own channels, using social media and email marketing. So where is the benefit for you? It will be in the interest of the blog writer you have invited to write for you to direct their own readers onto your blog. The result is a wave of new readers coming to your site, resulting in a merger of the two communities and more traffic for both of you.
Posting On High Authority Sites
In the past, SEO bloggers used to write for Squidoo as it passed on page rank through links, and was seen as a high authority resource. That has now changed following the Squidoo slap, but a similar effect can be achieved now by posting high quality, unique articles to Buzzfeed, Medium.com and Storify. These sites are all high authority and can rank pretty well by themselves if your post is well optimised. This means you can drive additional targeted traffic through to your own website, internet marketing blog or SEO blog!
