I’m talking about PageRank, a Google feature that measures the relevancy of ones site. I define PageRank as a calculative measure of a sites’ success and many other bloggers and web publishers consider it to be. A higher PageRank means that your blog is being read by many whereas a virtual can be a source of distaste. Let’s just say a higher PageRank can a source of arrogance from the geeks.

Google computes ones PageRank by adding all the inbound links to ones site weighing the importance of every site. If a site with a Google PageRank of 5 links to you, Google considers this more valuable than say a site that has a PageRank of 1. Overtime, as you increase your PageRank, Google will find your content relevant and you should rank higher in the search engines. This means more readers for you.

The importance of PageRank can also be considered in paid reviews. Paid reviews are services that pays bloggers to write articles in their sites. Two of the more famous paid reviews are Pay Per Post and Review Me, but there are more. As higher rankings mean more readers, advertisers pay much more money to blogs that are classified as relevant. To profit seekers, this could be as good as money. Say from 5 dollars per post to a person who has a pagerank of 0 to a 15 bucks per post to that with a page rank of 2. Those with a PageRank of 6 can earn as much as 100 bucks per post, even more.

The question therefore is, how do you increase your PageRank? While some would pay SEO companies tons of money to list them in directories and get the higher on the search engines, proven ways of improving pageranks is to increase one’s inbound links. There are several strategies that you can apply to make this possible – exchange links, participate in forums, submit articles etc. But to me the best strategy possible is still to make great content. This aside from the fact that it does really take time to increase a sites PageRank. As time passes, it’s an inevitable compliment to your presence in the web

Understanding The Google PageRank

PageRank is a method that used by google to measure the importance of page on the web. The PageRank is different with rank system to sort relevan web to query but PageRank combined with rank system and text-matching techniques used by google to retrieve pages that relevant to the user query.

PageRank considers the links among pages, if the web www.enginecarts.com has been linked from www.ponbiss.com, google will consider a link from ponbiss as a “vote” to enginecarts, vote from one page to another giving certain amount to another is a little less than its own PageRank value (its own value * 0.85). This value is shared equally between all the pages that it links to, number 0,85 is a damping factor is used in google system.

Let’s take a look at the PageRank formula, that calculates a PageRank of page

PR(A) = (1- d) + d(PR(t1)/C(t1) + …+PR(tn)/C(tn)
PR(A) is a PageRank of page
PR(t1) is a PageRank of page t1 that link to page A
C(t1) is the total of outbound links that had by (t1)

Imagine if enginecarts was linked by ponbiss that would have PR4 and 9 other outbound links, so based on the formula, the result of calculation is :

PR (enginecarts) =(1-0.85)+0.85*(4/10)
PR (enginecarts)=0.15+0.85*(0.4)
PR(enginecarts)=0.15+0.34
PR(enginecarts)=0.49

So enginecart will get some PR addition 0.49 after linked by a page with PR4 and having 9 outbound links Another example if enginecarts was linked by ponbiss that would have PR 8, that would have 15 outbound links, so the total is 16 outbound links. So addition that enginecart would get is :

PR (enginecarts) =(1-0.85)+0.85*(8/16)

PR (enginecarts)=0.15+0.85*(0.5)

PR(enginecarts)=0.15+0.425

PR(enginecarts)=0.575

We can get a conclusion as important consideration not only PageRank of ww.ponbiss.com but also amount of outbound links of www.ponbiss.com

Inbound Link

Inbound link is a hyperlink that points to a your site’s page from another site’s page. When visitors click on this particular link, he will be redirected to site’s page. In turn is beneficial to increase website traffic. The more inbound links your website has the more often the search engine robots will visit your website as well as more it will appear in search engine results.

In the google PageRank system an inbound link is considered as a vote from another page, a vote gives certain value that can increase linked PageRank. The value that shares another

page is depending on quality of inbound link, PageRank and amount of outbound links on that page. The more outbound links on a page will give the less its PageRank. In many cases having an inbound link from PR 6 page will give significant effect to our PR. But if in fact the page has 100 outbound links to other sites, PR increase will be almost zero.

Also If a page has only PR 2, but there is only an outbound link, then PR increase will be more compared page with 100 outbound links and PR 6.

Google doesn’t only count incoming-links that had by page. Google looks at more than voting the page only, but google also analyzes the page that get vote. Vote got by page of course considered important and can help another page becoming important.

Outbound Link

The reason of bloggers to put outbound links basically beside making reference about relevance of certain contents, braiding a friendship to bloggers and hoping to get some backlinks.

But It needs to be noticed is how to optimize the outbound links in order that having good effect and more beneficial

The following some Tips to optimize the quality outbound links in order to good effect and more beneficial :

Give a quality outbound link on the posting

A blogger gives an outbound link one other thing to help a popularity other sites or blogs. But remember this influences to your reputation if the blogs have bad contents.

Give an outbound link to a new blog

Most bloggers give the outbound links only to senior blogs, but it is not wrong if you give a link to beginner or your fans. So they likely will give backlink to your blog without asking to exchange links. This is a part of marketing strategy to start building an online business network.

Giving some love links to your friends.

Adding Some New Pages

Adding some new pages can influence PageRank. If we take a look at the site, It has some inbound links from other sites. Each page of the site has its own page rank. When a page is added to the site, and the page will be linked to from one or more other pages. The new page will get the PageRank from other pages, and other pages on the site will lose its own PageRank. While total PageRank will increase. The more new pages added the greater page rank loss among existing pages.

Distribution of PageRank loss from each page depends on structure of the links. The more uniform PageRank is distributed by the links within a site, the more even page rank loss among pages.

Adding a new page can increase the total of PageRank but it will reduce existing page’s Page Rank on the site. Better way is increasing some inbound links from other sites to balance effect of adding page. Another way is linking to the new pages such a way within the site that the important pages don’t suffer.
