Webmaster Discussions

Having blog with higher pagerank is very advantageous. For example, if you have blog with pagerank 3 or more, you can monetize it by following paid review program, link trading or selling your domain.

As we know, having links in higly pagerank web or blog can improve search engine result page. So, many webmaster will pay you to put their link in your PR blog.

So, what can we do to increase our blog pagerank ? These are some techniques that you can try :

1. Join forums, forums are a great way to achieve links to your website. In most forums you are allowed to have a signature and in your signature you can put a link to your website. But another important note to look on is making sure the forum is somewhat related to your website. You will still get credit if it’s not, but if it’s related to your website than you will be accomplishing two tasks at once.

You will be advertising for your website (bringing in targeted traffic) You will also be building your websites presence.

Your websites presence is very important to your survival. The more people see, or hear about your website the more credibility you will have and this increases your chances of having these visitors come back and possibly become leads.

2. Submit to search engine directories. Search engine directories are a good way to get a free link to your website. They also increase your chances at being listed higher on popular search engines like Google, and overture.

Most search engine directories allow you to submit to their website for free. This will allow you to increase your web presence by being listed on another search engine, and it will also be a free link.

Remember the more links you have the higher your PR will be

3. Using ezine ads (or newsletters). Creating an ezine will probably be the most beneficial step you can take to increasing your web presence. When you create an ezine you will be able to keep visitors coming back to your website for more by using signatures and giving special deals.

Ezine’s will also allow you to increase your back links. By creating an ezine you can submit your information about your ezine to an ezine directory. This directory will than link to your website(thus giving you a free link).

4. Creating and publishing articles. Articles are an easy source of generating new traffic. You can include your signature in your article. This will bring in more traffic from article submission directories.

Your signature usually consists of 4 to 8 lines. Usually the first line would be the title of the website that you are trying to advertise. The last line would be the link to the website and the lines in between these would be a sales pitch to draw your viewers into your website.

5. Links from related websites. Gaining links from related websites can be one of the most frustrating tasks you can attempt.

They are very easy to find, but can be somewhat difficult to obtain links from.

To find related websites, all you have to do is go to a search engine… say Google… and type in your subject. Maybe your website is based on ford mustangs.

You go to Google and type in ford mustangs, than you look around for pages that are somewhat related to your website. After you have done this (which should be very easy) you have to contact them in some way to get your link posted on their website. This can be the most difficult task because a lot of webmasters ignore e-mail’s from people requesting links because they don’t see the importance of it at the time. Some other reasons could be that they are rarely online, or they delete spam mail and sometimes delete their important emails in the process.

Important note: When looking for link partners don’t just link with websites that have a page rank of 4 or higher. Link with anyone and everyone you get a chance to. If you link to someone that has a page rank of zero, this will not hurt your page rank. It will only increase it because you are getting a link back to your website. Google doesn’t look at your back links page ranks to determine what yours is going to be. It simply looks at how many back links you have.

So if Google one day decided to link to a website that was just created and this website has a page rank of 0 and has a domain that goes something like this: mywebsite.geocities.com it’s page rank wouldn’t increase even though Google’s page rank is 10, it’s rank would still be zero because it would only have that one back link.

Ranking your website highly on one of the “big three” search engines (Google, Yahoo or MSN) is a daunting task let alone ranking your website highly on all three. Three engines, three algorithms, three different sets of rules – and yet there are websites out there that have first page rankings across them all – how do they do it?
While all of the major search engines use different algorithms the end goal of all three is the same: to provide the searcher with the most relevant results available. It is this one common thread that makes it possible for an SEO to rank a website highly across all the major engines. While there are a variety of factors at play and an even wider variation in the weight each of these factors are given – the possible variations that can produce relevant results are limited.
For example, if inbound links are given 0% weight then insignificant sites will ranki highly for high-competition phrases. Many reputable companies such as Microsoft could lose rankings for their own names so links must and will always hold value. On the other hand, if links were to hold 100% weight then sp@mming the search engines would be a simple matter and so there are a limited number of possible variables in between these extremes that this factor can have, no matter which engine we are optimizing for.
That said, there are still three main engines with three distinct algorithms despite common requirements. To clarify how to optimize for all of them it’s easiest to discuss them individually first. Due to the way their algorithms work one is best to expect rankings on MSN first, followed by Yahoo! And finally Google (I am assuming that the phrase is of at least moderate competition). For this reason we will discuss them individually in that order.
SEO for MSN
Proper SEO for MSN requires that a site be structured well with a distinct theme throughout and many inbound links. The advantage an SEO has while optimizing a site for MSN is that MSN tends to pick up and credit new content and inbound links very quickly. That means that with the right tactics in place one can rank a website relatively quickly on this important engine.
While MSN has the lowest number of searches performed on it, ComScore’s report back in July revealed that MSN searchers were also 48% more likely to purchase a product or service online than the average Internet user. A very important statistic for website owners that sell online.
To rank highly on MSN one needs to build a solid sized site (exactly how large will depend on your industry – look at the size of your competitor’s sites for an idea), a relevant theme throughout the site that focuses on your primary keywords and a good number of links. MSN doesn’t (at this time) employ an aging delay on links such as the one employed by both Google and Yahoo! So the effects of the site and inbound links can be picked up very quickly and with good SEO efforts one can rank well within a few months on MSN for competitive phrases.
SEO for Yahoo!
Until recently Yahoo! Acted very much like MSN, now it’s leaning a bit more towards Google. Ranking a website well on Yahoo! Requires a solid-sized site with unique content and a very good number of links.
While PageRank is a Google factor, Yahoo! Does have some type of page value factor at play. Many moons ago Yahoo! Was playing with a PageRank-like calculation called WebRank. They even went so far as to put out a beta toolbar testing it. This indicates that there is a factor at play in the Yahoo! Algorithm similar to Google’s PageRank – they just don’t advertise what a specific page’s value is.
Yahoo! is placing a large amount of emphasis on the age of links though not in the same way that Google is. We will get to Google shortly however to understand what to expect from Yahoo! One must understand that when you get a link to your website it won’t hold it’s full value for a number of months. While the exact number of months in unknown it appears to be around 8 before it hold it’s full weight though it will hold some from day one and this weight will increase as time passes.
To rank well on Yahoo! You much optimize your site similar to what you would do for MSN and you must build a large number of inbound links and have patience as these links age. You will not see a sudden spike 2 weeks after a large link-building campaign, you will likely have to wait 3-4 months to notice any significant effect.
SEO for Google
Virtually every webmaster and website owner is primarily concerned about attaining Google rankings due to the significantly higher number of searchers using it. Provided that you are building your website following the best practices of SEO (i.e. unique content, a sizable amount of content, and a good number of incoming links) then your rankings are sure to follow, however due to their aging delay it will likely take longer than on MSN or Yahoo! Google considers the age of your links, your domain and even the individual page to be a factor and the longer your page has been online the better.
Essentially, ranking a site on Google requires that you take the same actions as for the other two, continue your link building efforts on an ongoing basis to insure that you end up with more-and-more links, and that you update your content and add content on a fairly regular basis (though the addition of a blog for example).
Tying it together
The logical process for a new website or one at the first stages of SEO is to first target MSN. At this point you can focus your attention on continuing to build high-quality, relevant links to and content on your site which will continue to increase your value on Yahoo! And Google.
Analysis will be required to determine exactly what weight you will be giving to different areas. For example, if your onsite factors are optimized for MSN then you know that you will need to make up for this in the offsite factors for Yahoo! And Google. If you figured you would need 100 links to rank on Google then you will now need to up that number to account for the fact that you have optimized your site itself for a different engine.
During the analysis process you will likely want to use a tool to speed up the process of keyword density analysis and competitor link analysis. At Beanstalk we use a tool called Total Optimizer pro though there are others out there (note: I have yet to find one that does what this one does as quickly and easily).
Conclusion
I am hoping that none of you read the title and were expecting to rank on the first page of all three major engines next week. Ranking highly on all three major engines takes time, patience and a good few rounds of tweaking to get the perfect balance of onsite and offsite optimization. Of course, as you can gather, done properly it’s well worth the effort.

Since blog was introduced, people have been recording the news entry daily. Most blog owners allow the readers to comment on their post as long as the comment is relevant. When you comment, you can include your name and website URL. The name field can be used to include the anchor text.

There are two types of blogs including do follow and no follow blog. When the internet was first introduced, many webmaster built websites and blogs to provide information to the public. Later, the search engine was developed and advertisements program are introduced. By this time, webmasters start to build websites with the motive to make money. Many webmasters uses the blog to get backlinks to their websites. At that time, there is no do follow or no follow attribute. There are several do follow blog search engine that you can use to find do follow blogs such as Inline SEO Dofollow Driver. To find dofollow blog search engine, you simply enter the keyword “Dofollow blog search engine” into the Google search engine.

If the no follow blog receives a lot of traffic, you can comment on its post. Normally, commenting on a high traffic blog will drive tons of referral traffic to your site. You will have a huge list of subscribers in a short time.

It is best to comment on blogs that have page rank. When you comment on a high page rank blog, the page rank value will be transferred to the linked page. By commenting on a few high page rank blog, you will be able to increase your search engine ranking significantly.

Your comments will be indexed by the search engine within a short time. Search engine likes to linger in blogs so your comment should be indexed much faster. If your comment is not indexed, the link is not counted as a backlink. You should not attempt to comment on too many blogs per day. You can comment on 2 – 5 blogs per day. You should not comment on the same number of blogs per day. For example, you should not comment on 3 blogs per day. Instead, you should make random comments. In this way, the blog commenting process will look natural to the search engine.

It can be difficult to find do follow blog. The do follow blog search engine often yield inaccurate result.

SEO is a method used to maximize the quality and quantity of visitors coming to a blog or other sited through search engines. While there are paid deals for search-engine marketing like sponsored links this particular practice is free. How SEO works is by helping you top the list of search results. The higher you are placed on a search result the better are the chances of traffic on your site.
SEO is a marketing strategy for the internet that looks into how search engines function and what people look for on the internet. Optimization is done by editing content and HTML codes to maximize the relevance of particular keywords and to do away with barriers related to search engine indexing activities. There are many steps towards search-engine optimization and an SEO agency or consultants can help you with this.
Services may offer SEO alone or as a part of a larger marketing campaign. The underline point is to make content management systems, website designs, images, shopping carts, videos, menus, website designs and other elements search engine friendly to help maximize search exposure.
There are many over aggressive SEOs in the market that pursue under the table marketing strategies and use unfair means to manipulate search engine outputs. But as the website owner you should be aware of the fact that your site could be blacklisted or even removed if you are found to have tampered with the guidelines. Make sure that your SEO follows Google Webmaster Guidelines.

While SEO can help in listing you high up in the search results there is another technique known as spamdexing or black hat SEO which you must be aware of. This uses methods such as keyword stuffing, link farms and article spinning which reduces the occurrence of relevant results in a search thereby killing the search experience of the user. Search engines generally track down sites that use these unfair techniques so that they can be shut down permanently.

Google recently released a statement announcing that they have taken steps to prevent Googlebombing, this is the action where sites are found for some specific terms not totally related to their content for example ‘miserable failure’ would return the Whitehouse site, ‘liar’ would return the 10 Downing Street site etc.

This has been a problem with the results for a while in that they could be manipulated by using links and in some cases very few links. When asked why they hadn’t responed before the Official Google Webmaster Central Blog, responded by saying :-

“People have asked about how we feel about Googlebombs, and we have talked about them in the past. Because these pranks are normally for phrases that are well off the beaten path, they haven’t been a very high priority for us. But over time, we’ve seen more people assume that they are Google’s opinion, or that Google has hand-coded the results for these Googlebombed queries. That’s not true, and it seemed like it was worth trying to correct that misperception. So a few of us who work here got together and came up with an algorithm that minimizes the impact of many Googlebombs.”

“The next natural question to ask is Why doesn’t Google just edit these search results by hand? To answer that, you need to know a little bit about how Google works. When we’re faced with a bad search result or a relevance problem, our first instinct is to look for an automatic way to solve the problem instead of trying to fix a particular search by hand. Algorithms are great because they scale well: computers can process lots of data very fast, and robust algorithms often work well in many different languages. That’s what we did in this case, and the extra effort to find a good algorithm helps detect Googlebombs in many different languages. We wouldn’t claim that this change handles every prank that someone has attempted.”

So the question from an internet marketing and SEO point of view is how this change will filter through the results. Will this have any effect on someone in their real estate internet marketing?

At this stage it is hard to say, but from what Google say there are 100 or so Googlebombs that they are aware of. If they are manually flagging them which they say they’re not, how are they picking up these spurious links that are unrelated to the site they link to and likely unrelated to the site they link from. At this point my personal feeling is unrelated may be very related to how Google is filtering so watch how your results may be changing depending on how relevant your links are.
