How To Get A High Pagerank Blog
High Page Rank Blog
From my friends at: maxblogpress.com
I started cooler choice late September 2008, i tried to cheat a little being new to blogging so i bought a domain with a PR 6,but that did not work at first it had PR6 then it went down to PRO and no traffic so by October i had to start afresh.
Anyhow lesson number 1 do not buy expired domains because they all go back to 0 PR,so rather than do it all wrong i made a list of things to do, heres my list:
1: choose a niche
2.see what other blogs are writing about and see what other blogs are in same niche
3.write about something you know a little about
4.get keywords right, i always keep away from all keywords that are used to much, i used Google adwords keyword tool and use all keywords between 10000 and 25000 hits a month this way better chance of getting seen on Google because less competition
5:Join as many social bookmarking sites as possible, Digg, technorati,stumbleuponTwitter here are a few popular ones but there are many more
6:Post relevant comments to other blogs in same niche, example if your writing about the environment reply to posts on environmental blogs and add your site in comment
7: This is the most important one, ask other site owners for a back link, always be polite and explain what sort of site you have got, usually if its in the same niche they will say yes, heres a tip add a link back to thier site on your site before asking.
8:Add to directoroies under same catagary as your site
9:Try not to spam every high ranking site with comments and links, always stick to the same niche as your own site, because this can damage your PR in Google.
10: Add comments and posts to forums here is a good one PR10 Google Forum
So i stuck to the above list, and i add my posts everyday to relevant social bokmarking sites, i got back links from some websites in the same niche and between October 2008 and January 2009, CoolerChoice got a Google PR of 3 out of 10 so i carried on doing the same routene , and in April 2009 Coolerchoice went up to a PR 5 and now gets around 3000 hits per day.
I am at this moment working on a whole network of blogs in differant niches, i hope they pay off in the long run, please feel free to visit my sites and comment on this post, thank you for reading
Increase Page Rank For Dummies
How and why should I want to increase page rank?
How To Improve Page Rank
Page rank is just a number ranking that’s assigned by Google and represents the
relative importance of the web page. It is a number between 0 and 10. The higher
the number that Google gives, the more important that page is (according to Google).
How do I check my page rank?
There are some tools that show you Google’s page rank quite easily. The one I
recommend is SEO Tools for Firefox.
You can get that tool here: http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/seo‐for‐firefox.html
Why should I care about the page rank?
There are numerous reasons why Internet Marketers care so much about the page rank
of their sites (or actually the pages within their sites…remember that page rank is
assigned to each and every page on a site). It is in your best interests to improve page rank.
• Search Engine Rankings – All other things being equal (over simplification
ahead!), the higher the page rank the higher the search engine rankings will
be for a particular page. Obviously, this means more traffic!
• Pay Per Click Advertising – Although Google will deny this, our studies have
shown that the higher the page rank, the lower your costs will be for
adwords pay per click advertising.
• Link Juice – This is perhaps the most important. The higher the page rank
of a page that you own and control, the more “link juice” you can pass on to
your other sites. We all know that search engine rankings are mostly
influenced by links. The more links you have, the higher you’ll rank (a bit of
an oversimplification again, but generally true). In addition, the “quality” of
the links plays a major part. The higher the page rank of the linking page, the
higher the quality of the link. So that, for example, one link from a Page Rank
4 page could be worth 500 links from a Page Rank 1 site.
Our study:
We all know that links are the main driver behind Google’s page rank algorithms,
but are they the only factor?
There are many rumors floating around about content and what variables may
impact page rank. Because it’s so critical to our marketing efforts, we wanted to
ensure that we were doing all we could to take advantage of the factors that have an
impact. For example, one common thought is that updated or fresh content has an
impact on page rank. Google likes to see content that is attempting to remain
“current”.
The theory says that sites with content that’s routinely updated will be
rewarded with a higher page rank. It’s a lot of work to keep a site fresh, so they
question is…is it worth the effort? Google, of course, won’t answer that. So, the only
way to figure it out is to test.
This study included approximately 200 domains and has been going on for 1 year
(although a couple domains have been evaluated over the past 3 years!). We have
had 2 employees working full time on this, and we’re going to share the results with
you for free!
One word of caution…we are going to make statements of fact such as “Google
doesn’t care about…” etc. These statements are based on the VAST majority of the
domains that we tested, NOT 100% of them. So, PLEASE…do not email me or write
comments saying that your one domain acted differently. In drawing our
conclusions, we saw that 80‐90% of the domains followed the pattern, not 100%.
There will be exceptions to the rules, but these statements will hold true for most
domains.
Our conclusions:
There were MANY things that people have theorized that Google actually cared
about when evaluating page rank, all of which we found out were completely
irrelevant.
• Google Doesn’t Care About The “Freshness” Of Your Content – Updating the
content every day, once a week, once a month, or not at all had NO impact on
Page Rank. The extreme example of this are three home pages (PR3‐4)
where the content hasn’t changed at ALL in 3 years, and the PR has not gone
lower. It has gone up down over time, but never statistically lower than
where it started. We also saw this in our test group over 9‐12 months.
• Google Doesn’t Care About The “Quality” Of Your Content – The content
amount, and quality of the content has no impact on Page Rank. The extreme
example of this, is comparing a squeeze page opt in with a content rich home
page of a blog. We looked at examples all along the continuum of quality and
amount of content, and it didn’t make a bit of difference. A crumby, poorly
designed squeeze page with zero content had just as much PR potential as a
content rich blog home page.
• Google Doesn’t Care if you Change the Contents of a Page – For example,
let’s say we have a page with a PR of 3. We can go in and COMPLETELY wipe
out and change out the content, and it will have no lasting impact on that
page rank. Typically, we saw a drop in 1‐2 levels of PR and then saw it come
right back up to the old rank within 60‐90 days or so.
• Google Doesn’t Care About Duplicate Content ‐ At least when evaluating
page rank, Google doesn’t care if the content on the page is unique.
• Google Doesn’t Care if you Change Registrars and or owners of a domain
– This has some interesting implications that you can probably figure out! In
these examples, PR dropped and was then regained just as it was when the
content was completely changed.
• Google Doesn’t Care if you Change Hosting Providers and/or servers –
Similar to changing registrars, PR dropped and was then regained.
What does Google care about then? Simple…links and ONLY links
Absolutely the only thing that had an impact on page rank in our study for the
majority of domains was back links. The more back links and the higher the quality
of those back links, the higher the page rank of the page that was being linked to.
To increase page rank, get more higher quality, high page rank back links.

Google Sidewiki Comment Links With An Attitude
Google Sidewiki Comments
Truth be told, Google Sidewiki is MORE THAN just a commenting system. It is a system for annotating pages across the web and is envisioned to become a community where experts can offer/share their expert opinions and high quality comments.
Launched on September 23, 2009, the Google Sidewiki enables people, or more specifically those who have the Google Toolbar installed on their IE or Firefox web browsers, to make and share comments about websites and web pages with other people, particularly those who also have the toolbar installed on their browsers. The Google Sidewiki comes in the form of a browser sidebar which, when expanded, shows comments as well as blog posts that Google has deemed appropriate and/or related to a particular web page.
Yes, you read that right. Although Google Sidewiki enables anyone and everyone to leave their comments on the websites they visit, not all their comments get displayed. Who’s In, Who’s not? So, which comments get displayed and which do not?
Well, Google has yet to release an official and clear-cut guide/statement regarding the factors involved in determining which comments will end up on the Google Sidewiki. What Google did say is that Google Sidewiki uses multiple signals based on the quality of the comments, the authors’ reputations, as well as user-contributed signals (i.e., voting and flagging) in determining which comments get displayed and in which order. This selection process, according to Google, ensures that only the highest quality and relevant entries will appear in the Sidewiki.
So, how does Google gauge a comment’s quality? Determining a comment’s quality is generally based on the language used. Note that “language” here does not pertain to the various languages of nations and people but rather it pertains to how the comments/entries are composed/constructed. It looks like Google has in its disposal a language sophistication detector of some sort that can gauge the degree of sophistication of statement constructions in 14 different languages. And, apparently, Sidewiki gives more weight/credit to entries that use sophisticated language. To illustrate, “This page sucks!” and “This site rulez!” are not considered as sophisticated languages.
With regards to author reputation, Google takes into account the consensus about a particular entry based on the votes and flags given to it by other users.
In addition, Google also takes into consideration how long a particular author/user has had a Google Profile and how long he/she has been commenting. Google Profile We may not see it, but Google ranks profiles just as it does web pages, as far as Sidewiki is concerned. Simply put, people who has higher profile ranks have better chances of having their comments appear on Sidewiki. Unfortunately, there is very little information available on the topic of how to “improve” one’s profile rank.
According to Google, there are no hard-and-fast rules (yet) on how to improve one’s profile rank as they expect the system’s ranking criteria to change (still) over time. Generally, for now, Google ranks profiles on the basis of what Google feels or considers to be “comprehensive”. In other words, the more comprehensive a profile is, the higher it is ranked. Page/Site Owner Comments
On Sidewiki, site/page owners are given the privilege to claim the first comment slot for himself/herself. But before a site owner can do that, he/she must first verify his/her ownership of a site through Google Webmaster Central. Once ownership has been verified, a site owner will see a notice on Sidewiki saying:
“As the page owner, you can write a special entry that will remain the top entry for this page.” right under which is a tick box labeled “Write as the page owner”. All a site/page owner has to do is to click on the tickbox and submit his/her comment. No matter if there are already some existing user comments on Sidewiki on his site/page, the site owner’s
However, this privilege is only given once, for one comment/entry only. If a site owner were to make another comment, that comment will already be subjected to the selection/ranking process that comments from other users go through.
Embeded Links in Comments Google Sidewiki allows links to be embeded in user comments by using HTML code. In addition, it also allows the embeding of YouTube links into comments which is not entirely surprising considering YouTube is under Google’s corporate umbrella. By the way, embeding a YouTube link into a comment generates a video embed frame in the comment. How cool is that? Anyway, links posted on Sidewiki are given the “nofollow” attribute.
As such, the links on Sidewiki have no bearing or effect whatsoever on the linked page’s PageRank. In the Beginning There Were Blog Entries As can be expected of anything that’s fresh and brand new, Google Sidewiki has yet to be filled with a considerable amount of user entries. But, instead of leaving it blank while waiting for entries to come in, Google is currently using blog posts to fill up the void.
According to Google, the algorithm they currently use in determining which blog entries will appear on Sidewiki is the same one they use in ranking user entries. But, in general, Google selects and ranks blog entries based on their relevance to a particular URL. In addition, sites that serve out full text feeds of their stories have greater chances of having their articles/entries displayed on Sidewiki as compared to those that do not. Furthermore, articles that have high user feedback scores are ranked higher than those that have lower scores.
First, you need to install the Google Toolbar. If you haven’t done yet or if yours is an earlier version (one that does not have Sidewiki yet), go to http://www.google.com/sidewiki/intl/en/index.html and click on the button labeled Install Google Toolbar with Sidewiki.
