Improving your pagerank and site visibility




As we all know Google accounts for 68% of all searches every year. So you dont really need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that to be successful online you need blessings of mother google.Here i have listed few important tips for a wannabe webmaster.

1. Link building is important:

WHY? read this.
Google considers a link to a particular site from another site as a vote given in favor of that site. So you should try to build more and more links pointing towards your site.One way is to be friendly with other bloggers and ask them for link exchange while other is by writing good content that others may find useful.

2. Link credibility:

As votes from superdelegates are considered more important same is valid for links. A link from pagerank 5 site carries more weight than 10 from some good-for-nothing sites.
Google also considers link relevance. In simple words it means that if you write about computers and get a link from a site thats all about cooking then it will count for almost nothing.

3. External links to internal pages:

Dont concentrate only on your homepage.Try to get as many links pointing to individual articles as possible.For this post exchange program for Smorty is really good.

4. Dont be a copy-paster:

Though there are millions of sites out there and hardly few subjects are left untouched (like Paris Hilton's day to day life) it is not advisable to just copy-paste the content from some other site. Google maintains a copy of each and every indexed page in its cache to provide faster searching.This also means that google is capable of detecting duplicate content.

5. Optimize your web page:

You should try to provide your visitors as much interactive interface as possible. This is the only key along with good content to built visitor loyalty. You can use google's website optimizer
for this.

6. Manage your Keywords :

It's important to choose the right keywords for search engine optimization. Use keyword tracking tools to find high ranking keywords and try to use those without crossing a certain limit. You should use keyword density checker tools to find if you are using your keywords in right proportions.

A random tip:
Use google webmaster tools to improve your site's performance. These tools are free and extremely easy to use. Keep in mind that SEO is a process which takes long time to show results.
