What is Link Popularity?

Link Popularity means how much you are known on the internet which can be measured how many sites or web pages linked to you. Link popularity is a measure of both the quantity and quality of sites that link to your site.

What is PageRank?
PageRank is measure tool of important of web page. Google PageRank can be defined as numeric tool from 1 to 10 to measure the importance of webpage. Google calculate the PageRank on the basis of quality of inbound links. Google PageRank is one of the factors for determining the search engine ranking of web page.

Search Engine’s algorithm is always changing to find artificial techniques to inflate link popularity to get higher search engine ranking. Natural link building strategies involve getting inbound links from all type of relevant sites ranging from PageRank 0-10. Generally link buyer’s or link builder ask for a link from higher PageRank to get quick link popularity which is unnatural. If you have get 100 links and got 90 inbound links from PageRank 3-4 it will clearly indicate that some link buying has been done or some non ethical techniques has been used by a website to create inbound links.

Therefore you must get at least 25% inbound links from relevant webpage have PR zero to make your link building strategies more natural. In our opinion relevance of site giving inbound link is more important than PageRank. Getting inbound links from PageRank 0 is important factor of natural link building or link popularity strategies and must not be ignored.

Well the answer is not as simple as a yes or no, as it can be both, and it can be neither! “What?” I hear you ask!

Their are two ways of submitting articles, the incorrect way, which will result in Google giving you a few negative points, and the right way which can mean many bonus Google points. Although they keep messing about with the algorithms for Pagerank and search results, the most essential thing that does continue is that you have enough back links to your website, preferably one-way.

Gone are the days when any kind of links would do in order to assist towards a Google Pagerank, due to a change around the inception of 2007, the only links likely to assist you obtain greater search placing and Pagerank are websites that have a Pagerank of FOUR or higher. So those of us who spent the last few years building up any links to our sites, have now found that Google is no longer interested. This is not all bad news, as they still benefit with Yahoo, Lycos, etc. So do not ignore them completely, but it is best to concentrate on those with a 4+ Pagerank.

One thing the majority of people forget when submitting an article is that Google will ignore duplicates. So if you add your article to a Pagerank 2, and a Pagerank 4 free submission site, and they are exactly the same, if Google picks up the initial one, you will only get the Pagerank 2 pointing to you by Google, as I mentioned earlier, this is pretty worthless now.

The only way of ensuring each submission to different article sites actually counts as helping your own Pagerank is to change the text in your article for each submission. This can be as simple as just changing synonyms or you can go as far as rearranging paragraphs. A mixture of a few things is usually best, and just changing the odd word will not work either. This can be a laborious thing to do manually; luckily software is out there to aid you, while most are much better than others.

So by submitting your articles to Pagerank 4+ sites only, and changing a reasonable number of words, while keeping the same meaning, each submission should count in most way towards your Pagerank.

One last thing with article submissions is that by submitting masses of different subject articles to the same website, this does not assist your Pagerank, as only one link will count on Google. However, the pay off this does for you is that your site is more likely to pay off from these articles being republished across the Internet, and a small number of these will be from sites with a good ranking.

Spending hours submitting articles may be a complete waste of your time, and those who review the articles if you ignore the data above.

What are backlinks?

Plain and simple, backlinks are links that point back to your site. They are links you have exchanged with or received from other sites, as well as links placed strategically by you in forum posts, blog posts and comments, and the resource box of submitted articles. The submission of your site to website directories also provides backlinks that are highly favored by search engines.

Ideally these links, especially those placed in your forum signature and resource box of published articles (see my related article “Your Signature – An Internet Marketing Goldmine”), will contain keywords in the text of the link to create “anchor text.” Placing keywords in the text of the link anchors your keyword(s) to your url rather than anchoring “Click here” or your website name to your url. Not only do you have a backlink to your site, you have created a link of higher quality that includes the keywords you are targeting in your overall marketing campaign.

Why do I need backlinks?

The number of quality backlinks linking to a site is one of the main criteria used by Google and other search engines to rank and place websites. This statement, written by David Austin in a Feature Column of the Monthly Essays on Mathematical Topics, sums it up: “The fundamental idea put forth by PageRank’s creators, Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page, is this: the importance of a page is judged by the number of pages linking to it as well as their importance.”

With this all-powerful statement from the creators of Google, the importance should be clear: you need backlinks to attract the robots that determine the importance of your website. The value of your page, your website, in the eyes of Google’s robot lies in the number and quality of the links that it finds from other sites to yours. As the number of other popular, high-ranking sites find your site worth linking to grows, your popularity goes up along with your position in the search results.

In other words, quality backlinks are needed to entice search engines to stand up and take notice.

Backlinks are also helpful in leading visitors to your site. In this regard, backlinks are much like bread crumbs left by Hansel and Gretel to find their way back home. When your site is new, the robot will not place your site at the top of the results list immediately no matter how much time and effort went into the design and SEO of your site. Links from other sites that searchers are likely to find could lead them to your site if they look through the links page to find related products that might be available on your site.

In addition, links placed in posts to forums and blogs and the resource box of published articles have the potential of being seen and followed by thousands of visitors every day. If the forums, blogs, and article directories have high page ranks, you have more than just a link for visitors to follow, you have a quality link that will serve to increase your page rank as well as your traffic.

What are quality backlinks?

Quality backlinks are links from websites that have a higher page rank than your site, links from websites that have content or purpose related to your site (also known as relevance), links that include anchored text, and links that are built naturally over time, not a sudden increase in links just for the sake of having a high number of links.

Google has made it very clear that the importance of a site in the eyes of Googlebot is greatly influenced by the number and importance of the pages linking to it. In order to increase your PageRank, your website’s importance in the eyes of search engines, seek out links from higher-ranking sites that have related content, include anchored text in your signature for forum and blog posts as well as your resource box in articles, and let links build naturally over time. These practices will be a valuable part of your overall marketing strategy.

The second most important criteria is the size and popularity of the site where you submit your articles. If you submit an article to a site that is frequented by very few people, then very few people will see your article. By submitting to larger, more important sites, your article has an opportunity to be viewed by many more readers. I use Google’s PageRank and Alexa to rank my submission sites.

Google’s PageRank measures the relative importance of a site on a scale from 0 – 10. Ten is the most important site and zero is the least important. When seeking out submission sites, look for those with the highest Google PageRank.

Alexa measures the relative size of a site. If a site has an Alexa rating of 10,000, that means that there are 10,000 larger sites on the Internet. (Keep in mind that there are over 2 billion sites on the Internet now.) The lower the Alexa rating, the bigger the site. Seek out those sites with relatively low Alexa ratings.

Following is a list of ten sites along with their Google PageRank and Alexa ratings. Please keep in mind that these ratings change regularly. FYI- I submit each of my articles to about 60 sites.

BRIEF INTRO. PageRank is google’s valuation of your website. Your pagerank comes pegged on a scale from 0 to 10.

Uh- okay… so what?

Let’s make it so easy that even your cat would mewl.

Think of Pagerank like real estate pricing. The higher your site ranks on that scale, the more valuable it is in Google’s eyes. You, the webmaster, enjoy explosive benefits the higher your pagerank: your site gets indexed more often, you appear in the top ten placements and people will kill each other to advertise their site on yours. To the tune of thousands of greenbacks a month.

Bottomline: websites of considerable persuasion and influence boast high pagerank.

If your site has less than a Pagerank 4, you’re s nobody. Pagerank 5 means you’re a rising hotshot. Folks would pay $30 a month to place a link on your site. Pagerank 6 means you’re almost a god. Not only would you rank in the top ten search engine rankings for chosen keywords, you’d rake in lotsa moolah from ad revenue.

Are you mewling like a cat yet?

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s hunker down to getting you a Pagerank 7 in 200 days.

CREATING A SITE OF MASSIVE INFLUENCE

1) Raid a few webhosts that allows you to buy domains on cheap. I’d recommend godaddy.com or doteasy.com Purchase at least 40 domains across different C Class IPs. The .info , .mobi and .biz variety go for a dime a dozen. Register them and build up a single page on each one. Fill the pages with quality content. No scraped info or you’ll get deindexed. Your bucks would go down the drain faster than cash at a casino. Hire a ghostwriter if you must.

2) Create backlinks to each of these sites from domains that wield extremely high pagerank. It’s easy to accomplish with Netscape.com and NewsVine.com. Now before you get all excited, understand that this tactic will work if you judiciously pick profitable tags. The tag ‘business’ ranks a whopper of a pagerank 7 at netscape. (http://www.netscape.com/tag/business). Listing your 40 domains under this directory gets a pagerank 7 backlink!

3) Amp the power. List your domains at DMOZ and Relmaxtop.com . You’ll garner at least a Pagerank 4 backlink to each site.

4) Post meaningful comments on one or two blogs listed here: courtneytuttle.com/blogs-that-follow/ These blogs have the NoFollow attribute disabled, allowing you to suck in more PR to each of your domains.

5) Post meaningful comments on mattcuts.com, pearsonified.com and scobleizer.com. Google ranks these sites at pagerank 8+. If your sensible comment is approved, you get more rank boosting.

6) Use this string in google search box to find high credibility .edu blogs where you can get quick backlinks from: [[site:.edu inurl:blog "post a comment" -"comments closed" -"you must be logged in" "Your-Key-Word"]] If your link appears on a .edu domain, Google accords your mucho respect. In spades. Ensure you write MEANINGFUL comments on these .edu sites, or I’ll disown you and send the Italian Mafia to kick your arse and sink you in the Ganges.

7) Wait for the next PageRank update. Twiddle your thumbs and get fat on some MacDonalds quarterpounders to pass the time.

Et Voila! After the next update, the Google Toolbar will indicate that ALL your 40 sites have achieved a shiny PageRank 3 or 4. Man, wasn’t that easy?? (FYI, google updates pagerank every three months or so)

9) Now that your sites wield considerable persuasive influence, I want you to create three new domains and have all original 40 sites link to these.

10) Wait for the next pagerank update and BAM! The three new domains now flex a Pagerank 5!. Hallelujah!! But wait. You don’t want a lousy 5. You want at least a seven. So what you do is to create two new domains and have the three pagerank 5s link to that.

11) Wait again. (do you get the pattern here?) Suck on some fries. Get more girlfriends. Take up racing. Then at the next pagerank update, the Google Tool Bar will bring you news that will wet your pants: GOODGRACIOUSGLORIOUSGOD! The two new domains are now Pagerank 6!! Wait. We’re not done yet. I want you to create a new domain. And guess what? I want you to link the two pagerank 6 sites to your new domain.

12) Wait again. Nuninuninu. By now you should have 10 girlfriends and boast a nice paunch from all those quarterpounders. But so what? After the next pagerank update, your new domain should now be a gloriously persuasive Pagerank 7. Ahh. Now you can kick back and relax. Because with this single website, any other website you link to will be transformed into an instant Pagerank 6. Everyone knows that sites these stellar command unbelievable advertising power. So what you do from here… well, it’s up to your imagination.

Disclaimer. Well actually its an apology. I promised you a Pagerank 7 in 200 days? Actually, make it more like 365 days because that’s how long it would take google to go through all those updates. But heck, what’s an extra 165 days between friends?

The reality of the matter is to facilitate the secret to amazing SEO accomplishment is no big secret at all. High PR Backlinks do the job each and every time. It’s just a matter of identifying an adequate number of these and spending the time to place your family with your keywords or keyword phrases as commentator text.

The critical thing is to make sure the links are posted in an area where they are Do Follow.

You will hear several myths concerning placing your backlinks which ought to be debunked:

The sheet you publish the link to has to have a High PageRank and not simply the domain itself. If the sites homepage has a high PR, the SEO juice will pass to your site regardless of the PR of the page your link is on.
You can’t rank for keywords which your site doesn’t include sufficient density for. Not really. If this were correct, you wouldn’t notice any YouTube videos ranking for their tags. Just put up an adequate number of your links with anchor text and you will rank!
Your backlinks are required to come from applicable sites or they are worthless. Google knows that links occur haphazardly. It’s adequate that the links are coming from High PR sites. They know that individuals possess varied interests, so they are simply looking in lieu of volume. The benefit you pick up from place relevancy is that individuals exposed to the links are more likely to click.
Sites on the first page of Google all include thousands of inbound links and it will take you years to catch up. Some do enjoy thousands of backlinks, but you don’t have to compete with that. You are simply competing with webpages having the exact same keyword or keyword phrase as anchor text.

If you look for High PR Web 2.0 Community websites you will locate a ton of websites you can publicize your links. You will regularly be placing them in your profile in a section with a heading something like “About Me”. It does take some time to set these profiles up, as you will usually want to upload a profile pic and add particular personal info to escape being banned for link spam. Many of these websites are getting very agressive about deleting link spammers, so be sure to take the few minutes necessary to make your profile look fairly complete.

Pay special attention to the sites which let you produce blog posts. This is a fantastic place to place articles and have no limit to the amount of links in each post. Again this will take some time investment, but the main detail is that these backlinks will last a long time, and so will your Google rankings!

Using Google PageRank to Generate and Preserve your MLM Business

Google PageRank, a proprietary assessment model which Google uses to rank the overall value of your web pages, is one focus area worthy of consideration. A high PageRank— above a 4— conveys a special message to your MLM marketing customers and those already on your down line that your web pages are not only appreciated by Google, they command Google’s seal of approval. Let us examine what Google itself has to say about PageRank. This will surely help us to customize a realistic PageRank strategy:

“
When a user enters a query, our machines search the index for matching pages and return the results we believe are the most relevant to the user. Relevancy is determined by over 200 factors, one of which is the
PageRank for a given page. PageRank is the measure of the importance of a page based on the incoming links from other pages. In simple terms, each back link to a page on your site from another site adds to your site’s PageRank. Not all links are equal: Google works hard to improve the user experience by identifying spam links and other practices that negatively impact search results. The best types of links are those that are given based on the quality of your content. … We have developed our serving infrastructure and breakthrough PageRank™ technology that changed the way searches are conducted…. PageRank reflects our view of the importance of web pages by considering more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms. Pages that we believe are important pages receive a higher PageRank and are more likely to appear at the top of the search results. PageRank also considers the importance of each page that casts a vote, as votes from some pages are considered to have greater value, thus giving the linked
page greater value. We have always taken a pragmatic approach to help improve search quality and create useful products, and our technology uses the collective intelligence of the web to determine a page’s importance.

Most Internet marketers who are tying to sell shovels to the miners – selling ‘how to’ information about internet marketing to noobs usually mention how much money they are making. What they are often not spelling out very clearly, is how much money they are spending to make that money.

Pay per click is probably the number one tool in any internet marketers locker. Although often a highly profitable tool in the right hands, many new internet marketers fail to grasp the fundamentals of pay per click advertising and end up losing substantial amounts of money.

Pay per click advertising, also known as PPC advertising, is a very effective channel to bring targeted traffic to your website. With more targeted traffic, there will be higher conversion. This is the reason why a lot of companies are now using pay per click advertising to get more businesses.

PPC requires specific techniques to ensure its worth. Otherwise, you are off to wasting your dollars on ad campaigns that don’t have any good effect on your site. There are just so many tips you can get on pay per click advertising and it is impossible to list them all in one article.

Track each keyword. This may sound a bit daunting but it’s very simple. Most PPC networks (e.g. Google, Yahoo and MSN) have code that you can place on your site so that you can easily see which keywords in your campaign are converting best.

Using such powerful “Secret PPC Tips” Tool is probably the easiest and most effective way to maintain existing PPC-Campaigns or launching new ones. We could probably come across other pluses provided by this exceptional idea, simply because it eliminates many technical and mental difficulties involved with this process.

The most important aspect of pay per click advertising is your ad copy. The ad itself MUST be attractive to a surfer. People know where paid listings are and usually avoid them. This is a simple fact based on studies of where someone looks on their computer screen while using search engines.

SEO requires both artistic skills, as well as a clear scientific mind. It has often been debated whether SEO is an art or a science. The answer however, is not simple – it is a bit of both. They come together to make a perfect recipe for success in the field of SEO.

If you have to succeed in the field of SEO, you will have to carefully plan and execute the project, with the right keywords and relevant key phrases. Identifying the keywords can be carried out with some of the sophisticated software tools that are available today. However, at the same time, you will have to use your instinct and artistic bent of mind to put together the keywords in such a way, that they can acquire the maximum efficiency.

The science part of SEO is reflected in the fact that all major search engines have their own algorithms that help them to rank the various sites. An experienced person in the field of SEO can identify the pattern of the algorithm and implement a technique that is highly efficient.

The results of the SEO should be verifiable, quantifiable and proven as economically viable. If your SEO can make the site attain better visibility, it will convert into better sales. These are the cold hard facts that SEO deals with; hence, SEO and science go hand in hand.

However, the art part of SEO is also undeniable. Since no search engines reveal how their algorithms work, SEO experts need to use their instinct to find out what works best for the site, In addition, since the algorithms constantly keep changing, the professionals need to depend on their own skills and techniques to come up with the best SEO plan.

After all, a SEO strategy can be quickly created to create websites that are based on certain scientific formulas of SEO. But, these sites may not have the personal and human appeal that the visitors may be looking for. Thus, while your site may get a good ranking on the search engine pages, people may not like your website enough.

Thus, SEO needs to be the right mix of art and science, so that you can come up with a website that not only ranks well on the search engines, but also appeals to the senses of your viewers, who are, after all, your potential customers!
