GOOGLE PR UPDATES

Google has once again updated the Page Rank structure today. So some of you may see your PR went down, and some of you saw it went up. In today’s post, I want to point out the facts that can affect your PR.

As there are numerous topics in the forum about this, I would like to bring some points to your attention just one more time:

* DO NOT buy PR ranked domain names. Google figures out real quick that this is fake. This will only end up wasting your money and time.
* Submit your blog to relevant directories that make one way links
* Update your blog regularly with unique content
* Trade links with other relevant bloggers
* Make blog visits and leave comments that are worth reading and that would bring the reader back to your blog
* Submit your blog to free search engines.

These are some of the ideas that I can give for now. Be an honest blogger, write honestly and don’t fall for “if you pay us this amount, we will make your PR higher” type of fraudilent activities. Be honest and have fun!!

If one word could sum up the most important thing of all to bear in mind where blog page rank is concerned it would be… relevance.

All of the things you link to need to have direct relevance to your blog content and/or subject matter. Moderate your comments, remove spam and track backs that are irrelevant to your blog. If the comment is good, but the link left by the commenter isn’t - simply disable the link, and leave the comment.

Content is the life blood of your blog. Readers don’t visit your blog to read ads. Smorty rules require at least 40% of your blog content to be non-paid postings - which translates to roughly a little less than every other post. But ask yourself this question - how many posts would YOU want to enjoy before you encounter an ad? I’ve seen some blogs that quite literally are on a 2 to 1 ratio, and the 1 being content.

If your links are of no relevance to your blog’s content or subject matter, and you have less than a 40% non-paid content ratio, the loss of a page ranking is quite honestly your own fault.
