What is PageRank?Written by Jakob Jelling
Continued from page 1
Google actually uses a specialized mathematical equation to place your site in a predetermined order. First things first, if your website is a keyword, that does not automatically give you a top spot. It will take time to move up ranks and you should register with Google as soon as possible to drive your rank upwards. But just having right URL (Universal Resource Locator) doesn’t guarantee top spot either. You must also be swapping or reciprocating links with other Google users. The more you use Google websites that are indexed faster and higher your site will go in ranks. A Google robot will visit your site frequently so continue to modify your code and keep checking its rank and status. Eventually, your site will drive up ranks and land on top. It may take time and work, but you will get hang of keeping it there once you employ right mix of keywords with links. Some companies can charge up to $1,000 for top spot, they employ same techniques, even though they don’t want you to know this. Keep your META tags, title, keywords and content in line with your keywords and continuously look to optimize them. Under no circumstances take another persons keywords off of their code; this is potentially dangerous as you could be violating copyright laws. Good Luck!!!

| | How important are back links?Written by Jakob Jelling
Continued from page 1 drop a hyperlink or a page may get accidentally deleted. When Google robot goes through your website and finds a dead link it notes that you aren’t keeping good care of your website and punishes your web rank by reducing its point value. If you wish to know what your sites current point value is download The Google Toolbar and search for your website www.yourwebsitename.com in box and perform a Google web search. Upon reading full URL, Google will go directly to your site first thus pulling up your home page. There on toolbar will be a page rank for your website between 1 and 10. 1 being a less visited and noted website and 10 a site that screams traffic 24/7. Some of individuals you share reciprocal links with may in fact scan all their links for continuity, should they receive a bounce back for a broken link on your website you can be assured you will receive an email from them. Keeping your website in balance with other sites you share links with will keep Google engine happy. If you go off and add a company that is not Google friendly, meaning they have no back links you may also lose points.
