How To Increase Your Google Page Rank Need Help? Read our Article How To Increase Google PageRank How To Increase Google Page Rank.PageRank is an algorithm that Google uses to help
decide how important a website or a web page is in terms of its search
results. For
this reason a good PageRank is a necessity if you ever want to get good
quality search traffic to your website. The PageRank theory was
developed by Googles founder Sergey Brin and one Larry Page while they
were both at Stanford. In those days a search engine merely counted
the number of times that a search term appeared on a page and ranked the
page according to that. This meant that unscrupulous web masters
could ‘keyword stuff’ their webpages ensuring that they came up trumps in
the search ranking. The
theory runs that those web pages which can be deemed the most important on
the web or indeed those with the best quality content in accordance with
your search terms, are those web pages that have the most links leading to
them. It is
easier perhaps to think of PageRank as a voting system, where one website
votes for another by putting a link to the site on their web page.
Those with more links or votes have a higher Page Rank than those who
don’t. However PageRank also looks at how important a page is that
is linking to another site. If a web page has many links on it to
other sites then it carries less weight that a page with less links.
This tends to mean that webmasters who purchase their backlinks from link
farms (websites that only carry links) run the risk of having their
PageRank decreased simply because the link farms have multiple links on
their pages.As with
many things that are Google orientated, a Google PageRank has certain
flaws of which you should be made aware. People have spent the last
few years researching PageRank and tweaking their websites in order to
manipulate the rankings. Link Farms are a prime example of this but
in recent years Google have changed the algorithm to filter off the link
farms and keep more relevant pages. If you can avoid it, don’t have
your website on a link farm, it will rarely do you any good, and as you
can control which websites your own website links to, never ever link to
one from your main site. You can
check out your PageRank by going to the Google toolbar and typing in
‘check my PageRank’. A PageRank is measured out of 10, where 10 is
the highest number a website can get and means they have a great
PageRank. It may surprise you to know that even Google can’t achieve
a perfect ten; its PageRank is currently 9/10. If you
want to increase your PageRank the easiest way to do this is by getting
good quality backlinks from relevant sites. You can also use
directories who already have a high PageRank to help you to ‘steal’ some
link juice for your own site. You can help your own website along by
ensuring that you have linked each page of your own website together,
start with your home page and link to page 2, then link page 2 to page 3
and eventually when you have finished linking all of these pages together,
link the final page, in this case page 3, back to your homepage.One of
the best ways to increase your PageRank is to have quality content on your
website that is of interest to other people and that they will want to
link to. If you have information that everybody wants or needs, it
is much more likely that they will share this with another person, either
by voice, email or social media sites. The popularity of your
website can soar over night just by having a few recommendations on the
likes of Twitter or Facebook. Be sure
to utilise your Meta descriptions and Meta tags properly, ensure that they
are the correct length to be read by the Google Bots and that you don’t
have any descriptions cutting of mid-sentence. Make sure that the
description and Meta tags have good quality search terms in them that
people are actively searching for.A piece
of advice that I have come across time and time again, ‘don’t bite the
hand that feeds you’, be sure to include a link back to Google on your
webpage. I have heard that this can increase the PageRank of your
pages somewhat, I have even heard some people say that this would be one
of the most important things they would do when wanting to increase their
PageRank but I will leave it with you to decide! Simple
things can also increase your PageRank like making sure that all of your
spelling is correct. Words like ‘pens’ and ‘angina’ are very easily
misspelled when you are typing quickly and can get your site listed onto
Google’s adult index, and once on their it is very hard to get off
again.
