5 Easy Tips to increase your Google PR

- When you name a page, give it a name related to its content:

for example, i have a page mostly talking about PR and Adsense,
so it would be appropriate to call the page PR-adsense.html

- The former comment also applies to the title (meta script) !
And especially if you're using Blogger, because the title is used
to create the page's name.

- Try to keep your pages' adresses the shorter you can. For example 'http://Ivegotthispage.com/increase/page-rank/google/alpha/beta/delta/gamma/PR-adsense.html' is much too long ! 'http://Ivegotthispage.com/increase-google-PR/PR-adsense.html' would be much better.

- Whenever you can, you should use ".HTML" or ".HTM" pages.
Those pages are static and are more valuable in Google bots' eyes.
It's easier for a HTM/HTML page to score well in the rankings
than for a PHP page (which is dynamic).

- Avoid useless code in your page: the slimmer your code, the better it is! So, get rid of javascript that are not absolutely necessary.

Trackers can increase your PR

Getting backlinks (links to your site from others) is necessary to increase your Page Rank in the long term.

Google bots are quite busy. So it is useful to have a page listing all your backlinks to tell them what pages they should analyse. That's why I recommend to dedicate one page of your site to list the pages linking to your page - I say page and not website in purpose-.

But if you're using spamming on blogs, forums and other websites to get backlinks, it would be better to keep track of those backlinks elsewhere than on your website.
Because if your website is linking to too many sites that are not related you may suffer from a downgrade backlash from Google.

So the best tool to keep track of those backlinks (the referrers) to my viewpoint is

Have a look to the tracker created for this blog: My Tracker

All my referrers are listed. When Google bots analyse this page they collect the links. And when they crawl (analyse) them later, they will find links to my blog. For a website it would be better to have a tracker for every page, but for a blog it's easier with only one.

NB: not many backlinks on my tracker because I'm not actively promoting my blog, this blog is indeed a kind of non-lucrative initiative. ;-p

Extreme Tracking has some credit with Google bots, because it's an old domain (the older your domain the better). So the tracker you set up may get a good PR with time (so put the keywords you are competing in the tracker's name when you create it !).

Other aspects of trackers:

Trackers also allow a better understanding of your visitors: you may know the referring link, the keyword used in the search engine and much more.
Data-mining may help to improve your website.

To keep track of your visitors, here below a list of free trackers (but not for SEO):

StatCounter Invisible, no Ads :-)

Activemeter Invisible, no Ads :-)

Motigo Webstats Logo + PopUnder Ads :-(

I strongly recommend the invisible counters. Unfortunately even if Motigo is user-friendly it cannot compete because of those 'damned shit' PopUnder ads

Get backlinks by using Social bookmarking

Get backlinks by using Social bookmarking

Social bookmark websites are an easy way to get backlinks that will increase your PR.
It's especially true with some sites like Netvouz or Mister-Wong. You can almost be sure that the links you add to those two bookmarking sites will be noticed by Google. :)
I definitely advise to open an account with them as it's free. So you may get easy backlinks!

List of Social Bookmark sites (by decreasing effectiveness for SEO):

1. Netvouz

2. Mister Wong

3. Stumble Upon

4. Blogmark

5. del.icio.us

6. ma.gno.lia

7. digg

8. BlueDot

9. Netscape

10. LeftHit

11. LinkArena

Hit Counters and Statistics

Hit Counters and Statistics

There are dozen of hit counters available on the internet, just search in Google or some other search engine and more than you need on results will turn up. There are paid and free ones available. On this page we will explain what the benefits and what the draw backs are of these counters.

You as a webmaster have, like any other webmaster your own Administration Panel on the Server, where you can look up the statistics of your web sites. It works similar like a hit counter, every time a visitor will visit your site its will count this as one hit.

So at the end of each month you will look at your statistic or hit counter and you will be thrilled about the number of visitors you could count last month and the amount of traffic that is achieved. ...But in reality you will look at the double or even triple amount of data because these stats count also all the pages the visitors have refreshed, or those when clicking back and forward.
You will never have the exact number of real visitors viewing your web pages with those tools. Another draw back only the pages are listed but not the way how the user clicked through your pages is revealed.

The benefit from downloaded hit counters is that they are for free. You can just download them from many web sites or they offer them as a free gift. Using their hit counter will be linking back to their pages from your web page, from which they benefit enormously. because it boosts their ranking. Those Hit-Counters are mostly present on the homepages of web sites, which counts even more and is great for the Counter owner! His link popularity will just enjoy an additional rating.
You probably present to the public, with pride - "look how many visitors we had". ....Well, wouldn't it be great if you would just have the real numbers and know how many unique visits took actually place?

We recommend to use a arrowProfessional Web Site Tracker Tool. Opentracker is the most handy tool around, just for a a couple of dollars a month and your done. You will know more than ever about the people who visited your pages.

If you ever used a tracking system like we use, you will know that you can analyze your complete web site and get to know everything about your visitors that is important to improve and maintain your site the proper way.

Our SEO Consultants call it visitors behavior, when they check:

  • on which links the users clicked
  • what they read and what they skip
  • on which pages they stay longest
  • where they are located
  • where they came from (web site, directory or direct link)
  • which Search Engines they used to find us
  • and which search terms they used.

This are the most important facts to know when you want to make your web page more interesting for people and when you want them to come back

How is Google ranking sites?

How is Google ranking sites?

There are thousands of forums and discussion groups breaking their heads which recipe Google is using to rank the web sites. Let me tell you one thing: it is such a secret, as the one of the Vienna Sacher tart, which is locked in a safe and guarded. But on the other hand through working with Google, you learn to deal with it.

Facts and Stats of Google

Google receives over 200 million queries each day, has indexed up to June 2005 approximately 10.4 billion items, such as web sites and images, Usenet newsgroups, videos, localities, maps, and items for sale online. The servers they use to digest all this operate with Red Hat Linux. It rules globally and is used in Thailand just as well as in Germany, Australia or USA. If you just look at the number of searches this software is processing you can imagine that the chances are a kind of slim landing on the first search result page being in the run with approximately one billion other web sites and in a bin with another 10.4 billions items. Or not?

What do we know about Google?

Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. Links from any page (internal or external) to your site (primarily your homepage) are called back links.
It's most important to come up in search result pages that you have high quality back links, because Google loves when sites owners are co-operating with each other. This is what Google says' about it arrowImprove Google Ranking

2nd important

Placing your web site into the right category.
Those 200 million queries are not targeted to find one specific web site category but is shared between numerous sorts of categories. Most Directories have already the functionality prepared that you can select first the category and then start the search. They call this advanced search. Google doesn't. Google sorts the sites by what the software finds in the content. The content has to make the category clear and specific. Titles of web pages are a trigger to get Google working. So no wonder that people need assistance to sort out the content and titles because there is more to it and we are glad to help.

Meta Data out and passé?

No ,... there are more Search Engines out there than Google. Directories which depend on the Meta Data. They bring a good amount of visitors to you and sometimes bring even better search results.

Refreshing content

The more often a site updates the content, the more often Google will visit. The links in these pages are checked to discover new pages that Google then ads to its internal database of the web. With other words Google likes people who are serious about the Web.

What are the costs?

Our SEO Consultants designed attractive arrowWeb Promotion packages to provide examples what the approximate costs are and what you receive in return. On the other hand, we provide so much insider knowledge on these pages, that you could actually give it a try, after having studied our content.
