Actually request a link exchange with a site is easy, but to find a relevant and useful sites that can help to improve your blog’s Page Rank to do link exchange is difficult. The links from other blogs/websites to your blog, we called it “Inbound link“, those links from your blog to others’ blog/website, we called it “Outbound link“. So if you want to get better Page Rank for your blog, you must have more quality Inbound link and also Outbound link. All the links are one of the most important factors for high search engine rankings. This is how my blog get it’s PR2.
If you want to get high search engine rankings on Google, Yahoo and other major search engines, then your blog must have many good and quality inbound links. Let say your blog have just a 30 high quality inbound link, that’s mean you win a blog that has 100 bad quality inbound link.
How to ensure that a link is quality link or no qualify link ? So there is a few points that make good quality inbound link to your blog :
1) The link should use the keyword in the anchor text
- If you want to get high rankings for a search term like “Make money from home”, then the links to your blog should use exactly the same anchor text, you have to tell your buddies to put this anchor text on their link page.
2) Link exchange with relevant site
- Practice to do link exchange with relevant site, let say i have a Blogging Tips blog, so i will find relevant content blog with me to do link exchange. Google will likes the relevant site than unrelevant site.
3) The link must not have a nofollow attribute
- Do not put “nofollow” to the relevant blog link. The nofollow attribute tells search engines that they should not follow the link. Links with that nofollow attribute don’t help your search engine rankings.
Conclusion, try to do link exchange with relevant blog/websites, this can helps to improve you Page Rank. This is how I get Pagerank 2 for my blog last few weeks. Google will give out Page Rank to every quality blogs / websites every 3-4 months. So I predict Google will update our Page Rank in the coming 3months which is October, so start doing well in your link building, remember do not write paid post, it will kill your blog !
About Lee Ka Hoong
Oh i wasn’t quite sure bout pagerank until i read this..thnx for the explanation!
I just found out my site has PR2..so should i be happy?=)
But i wonder is it possible to higher than PR3..coz i saw some of the top bloggers also have PR3 only..
Darrens last blog post..VIP’s "Special Visit"
That’s only one of the part how google calculate the PR.
Google have a weird way to calculate the PR of website.
Ohyea, make a link exchange with related site that have high pr3.
Darren : My site also just has PR2 after 3months blogging. Hope i can gain PR 3 or PR 4 in the next coming months, because Google will give out PR to every site every 3-4months =)
Of course it’s possible to gain PR 3 and higher, but you may need to have better content, quality inbound and outbound link. Many top bloggers gain PR4 and above =)
syuxx : Yes this is only one of the part, i will cover other parts in the coming entries =)
Actually nobody know how Google works. We just predict how they work haha =)
It’s good if you can exchange link with site that have PR 3 and higher, they will help you gain PR 3 and higher too =)
Maybe thats why my cosplay blog slapped from PR 3 to PR 0 even the visiotr is 700/day. I dont have backlinks T___T
Shireishou : Actually visitors do not affect your PR, lost of your PR may affected by other factors.
Do you write paid post like SponsoredReviews or PayPerPost in your cosplay blog ?
I think a few items need clarification.
* PageRank is only for Google. It’s a proprietary system and is only one factor in the actual ranking or listing of a page in search results. Note how there’s no space — PageRank is a proper noun and is only relevant to Google.
* PageRank is a factor of inbound links only. Linking out has no direct effect on PR, nor does linking to quality pages. Linking out may affect PR in a roundabout way, but it’s not explicitly part of the PR calculation.
* Links that aren’t part of an exchange are more valuable than reciprocal links. That is, Google can usually tell when you have an arrangement with another site, and reportedly devalues those links compared to one-way links. That’s not to say that they’re worthless, but if you can get links without linking back, aim for that as well.
Colins last blog post..Business opportunities are everywhere
Nope.. I can say from 1 month posting (Daily update), maybe only 1 and maximum 2 review post. As far as I remember, for a year only less than 5 review on that blog. My UANG blog is writing review more than that but the PR is fine
Shireishous last blog post..Cosplay Unknown 2
Shireishou : hmm..im not very sure about it..maybe some other factors that affect your PR drop from 3 to 0.
Maybe your cosplay blog contains xxx photo or anything else ? since when you lost your PR3 ?
Colin : Thanks for the explaination colin. you are right if we can get links without link back, you can have it if you have great content and people willing to give u a link back.
We are towarding this direction right now =)
