5 Ways To Increase Your Page Rank
This is one of the questions that I get asked alot by some of my clients , and so , I decided to write do a quick wrtie up on this topic. There are way more than 5 ways to increase your page rank ( however I am only going to cover 5 of them ).
What is Page Rank , and Why Do I want it ?
| “ |
PageRank reflects our view of the importance of web pages by considering more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms. Pages that we believe are important pages receive a higher PageRank and are more likely to appear at the top of the search results.
PageRank also considers the importance of each page that casts a vote, as votes from some pages are considered to have greater value, thus giving the linked page greater value. We have always taken a pragmatic approach to help improve search quality and create useful products, and our technology uses the collective intelligence of the web to determine a page's importance.

1. SHARE YOUR CONTENT VIA YOUR SOCIAL NETWORKS
You have written a great article, so why not spread the word ? By using social networks ( Twitter, Facebook, and of course Google+, you can spread your news \ article to a much larger audience. and in turn, increase the likelihood of someone retweeting your link , or even linking back to you. What does that mean ? Increaasing your visibility to a network of people you previsouly would not have access to
2. USE APPROPRIATE KEYWORDS (keyword stuffing is a Big Google no-no)
Some people have the notion that the more keywords they "stuff" in their meta tags the better. In theory that sounds right , but that could be further from the truth. Google frowns upon this practice , and could penalize your site ( by taking away whatever page rank you have and even pulling your website from the search engine). Using clear, accurate keywords for your web site is very important. When adding keywords for your page \ website, please keep the following points in mind
- Using clear, accurate keywords for your web site is very important.
- The words you use as your keywords will determine how you are found.
- Use only keywords that are distinctly related to the main focus of your web site.
- Using the same keywords does not increase your relevancy.
- Avoid using keywords that are too vague or too specific.
- You are found by any coombination of the keywords you choose.
- Changing your keywords often increases your visibility.
- Do not use names of other companies in order to capitalize on their existing exposure.
- Use only one word per "Keyword Field." No spaces or punctuation are allowed.
Here is an example of the proper use of keywords
Exotic Gift Baskets, Inc. sells gift baskets which contain exotic coffees, candies, nuts and flowers. Their claim to fame is a line of gift baskets known as "Quick Baskets," which they can usually ship within 6 hours. The corporate office is based in New York and ships to anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. The majority of their business is done during the holiday season.
Examples of good and bad Keywords for a listing:
Good Keywords:
- gifts
- baskets
- exotic
- quick
- flowers
- unique
- Christmas
Bad Keywords:
- free – (Using the word "free" is misleading)
- Starbucks – (Do not use other company names unless authorized and relevant)
- FTD – (Do not use other company names unless authorized and relevant)
- Web – (Too vague and not directly related)
- chrysanthemums – (Too specific and not directly related)
3. Include Signatures
Including signatures whenever you post is a great way to get backlinks to your site. After posting a comment on a forum, a website ,etc. Here is an example:
John Doe
john.doe@email.com
http://www.johndoe.com
to easy right ?
4. Submit Your Website To Search Engines
5. RSS FEEDS – ( Rich Site Summary)
In addition to making it easy for other sites to distribute your headlines and content, your RSS feed will be indexed by popular Blog search engines, including Technorati, BlogSearch, and Ask.com Bloglines.
Foursquare, Twitter – Security Implications via GPS Geotagging
Smartphone apps add location posting data ( sites such as Twitter , Foursquare , and Loopt use geotagging technology to post information about where you are . These apps are great to see what's happening in the area, but pose a serious security risk.
Let's use Foursquare for example
- Foursquare is an app that allows users to broadcast to all of there friends ( via the twitter and Facebook synching that is done when you first create an account ) When a Foursquare user reaches a certain location , ( real world ) , your gps sends a message to Foursquare , and then forwards it to Facebook Twitter to let your friends know where your at. In a perfect world , that would be cool , however I think it's a little creepy. How hard would it be for a disgruntled lover or stalker to find you if you are broadcasting your location on the net for the world to see ?
Foursquare can also reveal a lot of personal information. When you first signup , you are encourage to sync your other social networks ( your Gmail account , facebook, twitter ) . Doing this allows you to adds the linked profiles to your Foursquare profile, which of course the “stalkers” can also view – even if they are not a friend .
I was going to make a super long post about this topic , however it's common sense I think – If you don't want information visible on the internet – don't put it up.
