Increasing my page rank

[Netsitebiz]

Hi folks, I am having a rough time trying to increase my page rank, I am a new blogger and and have learned alot lately for the most part in "Bloggeries". I am having a heck of a time with the page rank thing though. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions for me.I am on google top ten for the keyword "eyeearn" which is the niche my blog is geared toward but my page rank is like "0" last time I checked.

Just keep at it Adam. These things take time and if you're new it's going to take a while to build that up. Keep leaving comments on other blogs, keep writing regularly - consistency is the key. List your blog on directories or wherever you can. Have you listed at Technorati.com? That will help you too. I'm in the Top 100 Aussie blogger's list and my technorati and alexa rankings have contributed in placing me there.

Hi Adam,

Don't despair!!

1) Page rank is updated ~4 times a year so if your blog is new there is really no way you COULD have a page rank so that's a good thing if you're a PR0.

2) Just keep "networking". Link to other places you like, hopefully some will link to you. If you find a good blog similar to yours do a blogroll exchange. Write content that will induce others in your niche to link to you.

3) Submit to a few blog directories.

4) Participate in forums like this; meet others and increase your exposure.

If you do those simple things you'll get a PR1-3 next update. Don't sweat it until then and remember to just naturally acclimatize your blog into the web.

As a word of caution: If you DO submit to directories. Only submit to niche ones or blog ones as well blogging is a larger niche and your a blog... Also put your priority on quality. Getting listed in 5 quality blog directories will do infinitely more then say getting 100 listings in crappy link farm like wanna be directories.

Furthermore if someone ever offers you a software submission tool for directories... RUN.

Finally when submitting try and make sure your description is descriptive but unique from other ones.

I hope this helps. Basically if you make good content for your readers and build a blog for them google and other search engines will recognize.

Last last final note; never do anything "just for page rank" you'll end up with no page rank probably and regret it. Whenever doing link building ask yourself "If this was manually reviewed would it be legit?"

Best of luck, I'm sure you'll do fine though all you need is time and enthusiasm.

Bloggeries had some great advice. From my experience with PageRank, the more quality content you provide and the more traffic you get to your website, the higher the PR. It also helps to get backlinks from other sites with high PR's!

Best wishes,

Just an FYI... Rob, Google is updating their pagerank more frequently now than they did before.

Instead of me copying and pasting, just go Blogging Tips and Custom Banner Designs at 'Dat' Money.com: Simple Steps to Increase Google Page Rank for what I basically did to increase it... even though pagerank is JUST a number...

Submit to blog directories. Utilize social bookmarking sites. Then social bookmark your details page at the blog directories, and also re social bookmark the articles/links you have already bookmarked. And also make a pages at hubpages and squidoo and bookmark those.

Best of luck

When PR is updated, it's the PR you had 3 or so months before hand.

AVOID paytoblog type sites that require you to state anywhere that you have been paid to write a blog post with a link in it. Google penalises you for those, eg payperpost.

Links to your site cannot hurt you, regardless of the source. If they did, then you could create a PR0 site and nuke competitors.

A PR0 site which links to you might not do much for you, but it wont hurt you.

What can hurt you are the links you have going out. Keep them topical to your site, don't try to have too many, if possible use 'nofollow' (I use that for most of my directory links. They only seem to check if the image is being downloaded). If you link to a bunch of other sites, consider putting them all on one page, not having them on every page.
