Proven Strategies to Boost Your PageRank in Google

PageRank is a number between 0-10. Yes, when your at a zero ranking you are not even on the scale. A ranking of 10 is the highest. If you want to learn about details or see how a PageRank can be calculated then search for "PageRank" in Wikipedia.com. Google and Yahoo don't publicize the formula they use to calculate PageRank, in fact I am not sure Yahoo is still doing PageRank. Google definitely is, and if you want to grow your site be sure to monitor your PageRank there. The overall principal to improving your PageRank is associating your web pages or blog with other web sites that are similar to what your site is providing. For example, if your key words are about baking, recipes, and selling sweets you want to be connected with sites that are similar. You don't want to be connected with sites that are selling auto parts or dealing with concepts that are not relevant to your key words. Get your self associated with sites like yours. The PageRank spid...

What Are Quality Links?

If your site is rather new and still unknown, a good way marketing technique is to get involved in the community around your topic. Interact and contribute on forums and blogs. Just keep in mind to contribute in a positive way, rather than spamming or soliciting for your site. Just building a reputation can drive people to your site. And they will keep on visiting it and linking to it. If you offer long-lasting, unique and compelling content -- something that lets your expertise shine -- people will want to recommend it to others. Great content can serve this purpose as much as providing useful tools.

Internet keeps government honest: Google chief

Broader adoption of the Internet will keep governments on their toes as wired-up citizens exercise their newfound power to check rights abuses, Google chief Eric Schmidt said on Saturday. "In nations and communities around the world, citizens are turning to online tools to keep their governments honest," he told business leaders on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation ( APEC ) forum in Honolulu. "Whistleblowing has never been so easy," he said. Schmidt cited demonstrations that toppled the leaders of Tunisia and Egypt in which activists used Facebook to schedule protests, Twitter to coordinate them and YouTube to broadcast the events to the world. "Online citizens can find like-minded allies, they can find like-minded diasporas from a country," he said. With 52 percent of the global population under the age of 30, the youth can have a bigger say on issues because they are the most prolific users of the Inte...

Most common mistake of online marketing

The most common mistake of online marketing is ignoring the fact that the web - the Internet - is a fluid and morphing entity. The very foundation of the web is that IT IS, by it’s design, a social marketplace. Yet, the majority of people fail to realize this basic mechanic and therefore do not capitalize on its’ inherent connective potential. Instead, they make a site or blog, then follow the “current” trends to promote their products and services based on techniques and understandings founded in print and other media advertising. Sure, all those outdated understandings produce some level of juice. But those methods do not garner a robust buzz or following, plus they most certainly require big buck advertising. No, the methods I prefer require much less cash infusion and rely more on sweat equity. I use and teach processes and procedures that harness the social nature of the web. Check out the Cluetrain Manifesto, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cluetrain_Manifesto ,  when yo...

How to Implement a Working Social Marketing Strategy

Social marketing is the methodical use of techniques to solicit new connections and contacts that will produce favorable sales of your products and services. Since the internet connects all people in all communities and in every possible subset of potential interest - it's an ideal and comprehensive marketing tool. Seriously, the internet is a gleaming, sparkling thunder bolt horse, stomping its' hoofs - ready to charge forth on your behalf. What is the first step? Your first goal is directing the thunder bolt horse to fulfill your goals, which is accomplished by creating your marketing plan. Marketing Plan Components This written plan must layout the benefits and characteristics of your products and services. Once you have those you can drill down to arrive at your key words and key phrases. With this in hand you can move forward with certainty about why people will be interested in your web site. After all, you have to be clear about what sets you apart f...

Google Changes Search Algorithm, Trying to Make Results More Timely

By CLAIRE CAIN MILLER   SAN FRANCISCO — Acknowledging that some searches were giving people stale results, Google revised its methods on Thursday to make the answers timelier. It is one of the biggest tweaks to Google’s search algorithm, affecting about 35 percent of all searches. The new algorithm is a recognition that Google, whose dominance depends on providing the most useful results, is being increasingly challenged by services like Twitter and Facebook, which have trained people to expect constant updates with seconds-old news. It is also a reflection of how people use the Web as a real-time news feed — that if, for example, you search for a baseball score, you probably want to find the score of a game being played at the moment, not last week, which is what Google often gave you. “This is the result of them saying we need to find a way to more effectively get fresh content up,” said Danny Sullivan, editor of Search Engine Land and an industry expert. “...

Is Adsense right for your site or blog?

Google describes its’ AdSense as, “a free program that empowers online publishers to earn revenue by displaying relevant ads on a wide variety of online content.” Basically, when you participate in Adsense you create a free account with Google and then place some code they you provide on your page(s). That code determines the advertisement content to display, in the form of text ads, on your real estate - your web or blog page. The ads are from vendors who have already paid Google advertising money to display their content on pages appropriate to what they are selling. http://www.ezwebmanifesting.com/blog/files/google-adsense-review.htm  Steu Mann He is an author and Reiki Master.

Find what Facebook knows you - here is how to do it

How to find out everything that Facebook *really* knows about you.... Max Schrems, a 24-year-old law student from Vienna, a meticulous document requester and researcher, is now sitting on a pile of 1,200 pages that comprise his personal-data Facebook dossier.  He secured the data by using a European requirement that entities with data about individuals make it available to those individuals if they request it.  After Mr. Schrems made the request, Facebook handed over a CD containing data that's now fueling 22 complaints that the law student has filed against Facebook with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner (according to Facebook, European users have a relationship with the Irish Facebook subsidiary).  The complaints, which Mr. Schrems began to file in August, concern the illegality of these charges (for the full set and PDFs of the filed complaints, go to Kim Cameron?s Identity Weblog):  * Pokes: Retained even after a user removes...

Pagerank explained - the gold standard to measure web site performance

Hey, Google doesn't earn any income from the "pagerank" or "page rank" values they create and assign to web pages. To me, that qualifies this as an authentic measuring tool for web site success. Every web site is assigned a value between zero and ten. Ten is the highest and I have never seen a ten. Google and Yahoo will be at that spectrum. A rating of "3" is an average web site.   The key to boost your page rating are these five metrics.... 1)  Revelance: links that are relevant 2) Comprehensiveness: complete coverage of a topic 3) Freshness: data that is fresh and pages updated regularly 4) Indexed: a site map submitted to Google 5) Useful content: meta tags that match your page content Here is a Google starter guide to SEO [search engine optimization]: ( click here ) Steu Mann He is an author and Reiki Master.

Generate more exposure for your website - freely

A four letter word to simply and freely drive more traffic to your web site: blog. It doesn't get any easier than this to create more exposure for your offerings. The first reason is they are free.  I don’t think that one needs an explanation. You can get some free marketing done for your web site with bloggin. The second reason is that blogs are easy to update.  This means you can post anything informational pretty quickly.  Every post you write is picked up by the search engines and thereby accomplished you another step in the bridge that must be built to find you. I have hear rumors that search engines pick up blog posts more often then web sites content updates, but I am still looking to verify that one. Consider this: what is easier to produce - a blog with 13 posts or a web site with 13 pages? Of course, you want both, but a proven method for getting more exposure is bloggin’ daily, which is much easier than pasting up a new web page every day. Last good ...

I promise that when you apply these three strategies to your pages you will see your page ranking improve. And, just remember, that won't happen overnight. Any changes you make in your web pages will take 6-8 weeks to show up in the search engines. First, it's not a good idea, if you want search engines to display your web page(s) in search results, to use the same keywords and content design on every page. Hold on, this doesn't mean you have to build a whole new site or blog. Make it easy, just create some new ideas about what you are offering and what key words will lead potential customers to you. The next step is just modifying some web or blog page content. One easy start on this effort is to sit down with a blank piece of paper and brainstorm session.
