Best ways to build up Page Rank (PR)
-
What are your sure fire ways to build up page rank, quickly and effectively for long term gains.
Do you have a check list?
-
High PR alone does not mean much, so don't waste your time. Evidence for this is the fact that you can buy expired high-PR domains, and they will give no juice.
mozMetrics (PA & DA) are far more telling. To build up your credibility, it all boils down to 1) original content and 2) how well you are able to distribute this content on the net.

Your best bet is to learn how to find dofollow links from high page rank sources.
A good way to do this if you have limited experience is to find a forum or registry required site that allows you to comment while getting a link to your profile with each comment. Also make sure that the profile allows you to have a dofollow link to your site. It is not too hard to post comments on pages and threads with 4PR+ which will boost your profile a great deal and thus boost your site's PR while being a legitimate way to provide value and get good results for yourself too.

buying and selling links is frowned upon by google.

Since I've become a Pro member of SEOMoz and started using the SeoMoz toolbar and rank parameters I've become obsessed with MozRank, MozTrust and Domain Authority much more than with PageRank.
Moreover, when estimating a site as a potential link source I always look at it's domain authority first, even if the individual linking page has low PA. I may be mistaken, but my strategy is to build good overall authority for my domain, getting links from other sites with good DA.

You need to create unique content, then attract relevant organic links to the page. Over time google will reward your website with a higher page rank
-
If you are still focused on PR then the quickest and best way to do it is quite simple through original and relevant content with an ongoing link building strategy.
Simple eh?
-
I used to be obsessed by Page rank, thats before i discovered SEOMOZ! I havent looked at my PR for over a year now! .... hmmm maybe out of interest i should check!!!!?!?!
-
I would say try to educate the client but I know where you're coming from, some clients simply don't want to be educated on it. They heard from their mate or read in some forum that something is important and that's all that matters... I've had a couple like that lol. Thankfully though, they seem to be few and far between, with the majority of clients wanting to understand it all as much as possible which is great
-
Well I guess it will be a while before enough awareness really spreads about PR not doing a lot... but, I would assume most of those requests are from people who don't know that link acquisition should be based on a lot more than PR (and PR being at the lower end of the links value). Possibly those same people who are still trying to trade links based on PR... the ones that send the spam emails lol.
-
No offence taken. And I understand and agree there are no fast gained sustainable shortcuts to long term SEO - I have this conversation daily! However unimportant it is with grand scheme of things, sometimes you get a new client who will no be educated and only cares about PR - Hence to keep said client you go get some PR for them!
-
I don't agree. Link selling can be a very lucrative business. In fact I believe it's more the other way around. High PR sites attract more buyers e-mailing you requesting for links, and you they're simply willing to spent more, wether it's justified or not. And in terms of getting higher PR, which was OP's question, the answer can't be easier: get more quality links and keep updating your site. IMHO the PR game hasn't changed.
-
Sorry Mark, neither of us meant to offend. It's just that as Ryan said there really aren't any shortcuts with it, so when you ask for quick ways to build PR it's easy to assume you're looking for a shortcut. So Ryan was just trying to give you some good sound advice there, since a lot of people do ask similar stuff and don't understand about there not being shortcuts. Plus PR building really shouldn't be anywhere on the agenda for an SEO anyway since it's of such little consequence to any outcomes.
-
I'm not really going to start selling links on sites with PR that I have created! Thanks for the advice though
-
Then you'd be selling links based on PR, which doesn't make much sense. I get spam emails offering links from high PR sites, but we all know that it doesn't work that way. A site may have high tool bar PR but really have very little trust and authority, with links that are next to worthless. At the same time, a site may have fairly low PR but pass great link juice.
PR isn't up to date, and it's a single metric (a quite unimportant one) among hundreds. I would look at MozRank over and above PR every time, along with the age of domain, the site's own rankings, the number of links already coming off the site, where my link would go, and so on...
People do buy links from high PR sites but only because they don't understand that it's almost meaningless nowadays. It's kind of a scam selling them on that basis.
-
I have a great deal of SEO knowledge and I have a few ways of getting a site to have PR but I'm always hungry for more knowledge, hence the question on this SEO q+a site!
-
But what if my business plan was to build sites gain PR then sell links?
-
Steve is absolutely correct.
I know it is not what you want to hear, but there is no magic bullet. Your question is right up there with "How can I build muscles fast" or "how can I get rich fast".
There is a long road of acquiring SEO knowledge and best practices, then applying them slowly over time. If you want anything faster, you need to hire a SEO specialist and be prepared to spend a lot of money on all aspects of building your web presence.
-
The check list is below:
1. Don't worry about PR
That's it
Honestly, don't think about building up page rank, think about your business objectives and goals, then create strategies based upon them... no strategy would include building up Page Rank, and Page Rank really doesn't mean a lot anyway so there's no purpose that a campaign in building up PR can serve really.

What is the best way to structure website URLs ?
Hi, can anyone help me to understand if having category folder in URL matters or not? how to google treat a URL? for example, I have the URL www.protoexpress.com/pcb/certification but not sure google will treat it a whole or in separate parts? if in separate parts, is it safe to use pcb/pcb-certification? or it will be considered as keyword stuffing? Thank you in anticipation,

I am lost at where to go. My optimization rating is 95% + and rankings are on pages 4+. I would like to know what I should do to increase my rankings.
My site is Glare-Guard.com. My Domain Authority has not moved from 17 in a long time. i have done everything to optimize the different pages. I have 90%+ ratings for the various pages, yet I am still not even close to the first page for many of the keywords I am looking to rank for. Do you have any tips or ideas? Should I try to rewrite my content and add more information? I am just at a loss for where I should go to get the right traffic to my site. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Page Rank Worse After Optimization
For a long time, we had terrible on page SEO. No keyword targeting, no meta titles or descriptions. Just a brief 2-4 sentence product description and shipping information. Strangely, we weren't ranking too bad. For one product, we were ranking on page 1 of Google for a certain keyword. My goal to reach the top of page 1 would be easy (or so I thought). I have now optimized this page to rank better for the same keyword. I have a 276 word description with detailed specifications and shipping information. I have a strong title and meta description with keywords and modifers. I have also included a video demonstration, additional photos and an PDF of the owners manual. In my eyes, the page is 100% better than it ever was. In the eyes of MOZ, it's better also. I've got an A with the On-Page Grader. Why is this page now ranking on page 8 of Google? What have I done wrong? What can I do to correct it?

An affiliate website uses datafeeds and around 65.000 products are deleted in the new feeds. What are the best practises to do with the product pages? 404 ALL pages, 301 Redirect to the upper catagory?
Note: All product pages are on INDEX FOLLOW. Right now this is happening with the deleted productpages: 1. When a product is removed from the new datafeed the pages stay online and are showing simliar products for 3 months. The productpages are removed from the categorie pages but not from the sitemap! 2. Pages receiving more than 3 hits after the first 3 months keep on existing and also in the sitemaps. These pages are not shown in the categories. 3. Pages from deleted datafeeds that receive 2 hits or less, are getting a 301 redirect to the upper categorie for again 3 months 4. Afther the last 3 months all 301 redirects are getting a customized 404 page with similar products. Any suggestions of Comments about this structure? 🙂 Issues to think about:
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | Zanox
- The amount of 404 pages Google is warning about in GWT
- Right now all productpages are indexed
- Use as much value as possible in the right way from all pages
- Usability for the visitor Extra info about the near future: Beceause of the duplicate content issue with datafeeds we are going to put all product pages on NOINDEX, FOLLOW and focus only on category and subcategory pages.0 -
How do I get the best from our Blog and build quality links and drive traffic to our site?
We have recently setup a Wordpress focused blog (blog.towelsrus.co.uk) which is very much work in progress. Because of financial constraints we had to host this on a separate sub domain. I need to get to grips with blogs is new to me (only been doing SEO this for 3 months now) and have have read may posts on the forums here that this is one of the best ways to build links and engage the audience. How do I go about getting people to read my blog, and should I use this to pull in traffic on keywords we cannot through the main site or should i use this to re-enforce and build traction on those keywords we are trying to rank for on the main site?

Why does this 1-page doorway rank #2?
Search on "santa cruz custom cabinets." In my SERPs, I'm seeing exact match santacruzcustomcabinets.com rank #2. This is a 1-page site provided by Yellow Book as part of an ad it sold to this cabinet shop. The site has no other pages, no inbound links, etc. So much for Google saying it's going to turn down the meter on exact match domains because that's all I see this website, if you want to call it that, has going for it. what do you see? Why is it ranked so high? Why is it above the site below it for example? And why doesn't Google lower the boom on Yellow Book for these doorway pages? Thought you'd all find this interesting. Any comments?

Best way to host multiple sites for maximum seo
We have over 100 websites we built for clients that we currently host on 1 shared godaddy hosting account. They each have a link to us but since they are all under one shared account, we feel that we are not maximizing the inbound link potential. I've looked into c class hosting but found that either the ip's were flagged as spam, or they shared nameservers which defeats the purpose. I've also been told that since the c class ip's a hosting company gives to you are all owned by them, that also defeats the purpose. Anyone have any solutions besides opening 130 accounts with different hosting companies? Also, will it make any difference changing existing sites onto different hosts now or are they already tainted?
