Raise your Page Rank

What is a Page Rank?

A Page Rank aka PR is a google term that measures inbound/backlinks (links pointing to your site) and the quality of those links, which results in a measure of importance of your site -- amongst other factors.

What is a good PR? There are many webmasters debating this topic but the range is from 1-10:

• 3-4 Average
• 5-6 Good
• 7-8 Excellent
• 9-10 Reserved (Mostly Google, Yahoo ...)

1. Post relevance content and comments to sites with good Page Rank (blogs, forums, groups etc.)
2. Follow all Google's TOS.
3. Create good content -- add value (to your site and others).
4. Frequent updates.
5. Submit to directories, search engines, news group etc.
6. Great keywords -- Use Google Adwords keyword tool

When you see "$" that means the site offers revenue potential. Tip: Along with raising your PR you can earn extra money too; and if you're pointing to a revenue source (your blog) that's twice as nice.

• Yahoo!Answers (Forum/Group) - PR8
• Squidoo - Find & share topics online by building a lens - PR7 ($)
• Hubpages - Write about topics you love to talk about - PR6 ($)
• Craigslist - Free Posting - PR6

Tip: How to find blogs to post to in any given topic -- in your brower type exactly with quotes but replacing the keywords "keyword" "powered by wordpress" "leave a comment". Click on one of the listings and then click view source (ctrl U). Click find (ctrl F) nofollow. Nofollow is one word. If you find a nofollow that mean that your post will not be indexed. You can still contribute if you like the blog. If nofollow is not found your post will count as a backlink. Remember to look at the PR in the Google toolbar you downloaded.
