This article will put a damper on web sites that sell information which will supposedly increase your page rank. I may make some enemies here, but this is already common knowledge. In fact, to make sure it worked, I designed a new site just for this purpose. Before you shell out money for an ebook, software, or CD telling you how to do this; read this article. If you achieve great results after following my advice and feel it was worth some money, feel free to write me a check for any amount you choose. I'll add my own zeros...

Page Rank
We all know what is. We all want to rank higher. Higher rankings mean a lot of things to a lot of people. To web masters it means achievement. They have accomplished a move in the right direction. A high page rank to a website owner is money in the bank. It is also an impressive accomplishment. To other website owners your page rank may be a source of envy.
To Google your page rank means quality, importance and relevancy. It lets Google know you are a viable resource and a valuable asset. Google takes your Page Rank and combines it with their text-matching techniques. This, combined with a page's content and the content of the pages linking to it, determines if your site is a good match. So, a higher Page Rank will certainly help you on Google.
As for surfers. Most of them could care less about your Page Rank. In fact, many of them don't even know what it is. However, those that do use it in a different way. Some use it as a way to unofficially gauge your credibility.
Ok, I am sure you've been wondering when I was going to tell you about how to achieve a ranking like I did. I went from a 0 Page Rank to a 5. Now, mind you, I did not purchase any links from high ranking sites, or any sites for that matter. I did not launch a link exchange program. I did exchange links with about five directories related to my site's topic, but that was it. Actually, 97% of my links are all one-way links (links pointing to my site).
So, how did I do it? Any ideas? If you know SEO you may already know the answer.
Link Farms? Of, course not. We know Google will frown on that method. Did I design or optimize sites and add my URL? Hmmm..Yes! However, that is a small percent of the success. SEO companies don't usually add their URL to sites they have optimized. Ok, so what else?
Content? Yes, content is king as always. Content is what was used to help boost my ranking. But how? I create articles. These are quality articles, just like the one you are reading now. These articles were not generated from any program. I authored the content from my own knowledge and researched over 100 web sites that accept articles in my area of expertise. SEO happens to be a very popular topic. These sites agree to post my articles on their site, along with my url(s). Many of these sites have a decent Page Rank of their own. Their rank will transfer over to my site.
Also, as time goes by, those articles will have a PR effect of their own which will transfer to my site(s). Don't forget, other people may pick these articles up and use them on their site as well. They will also include my URL(s) on their sites.
Now, if I do 100 sites a week times four articles a month, that's at least 400 articles a month. The last Google update was 86 days, the longest has been 111. That could lead to 1200 or more links between updates. What will Google think about all these links at once? They'll love it! Content, quality, one way links.
I also promoted my blogs and my website in some of my articles. This way, they too have their own PR generating effect. They also link to my site and my site to them. This, in turn, increased the PR to them as well. At the time of this article and the most recent Google update, one of my blogs went from 0 to 3 and the other 0 to 4 all in the same update.
These tips should help you increase your page rank. The hardest part will be creating content related to your field and finding sites that will post your work. You can always hire writers and/or article submission services.
Meningkatkan Posisi Website Pada Search Engine
Melakukan Pendaftaran (submission)
Bagaimana melakukan pendaftaran ? Gampang, Anda tinggal mengisi form pendaftaran URL yang disediakan masing-masing search engine. Misalnya untuk Google, form pendaftarannya ada di http://www.google.com/addurl.html. Setelah itu tunggu beberapa minggu dan lakukan pengecekan apakah website Anda sudah terlisting atau tidak. Caranya, masuk ke situs search engine yang bersangkutan kemudian ketikkan domain Anda sebagai kata kunci, misalnya ilmukomputer.com. Jika URL Anda muncul pada hasil pencarian (search result), berarti website Anda sudah terdaftar. Bagaimana jika tidak muncul ? Ada dua kemungkinan penyebab. Pertama, karena crawler search engine memang belum sempat berkunjung dan membaca isi (content) dari web Anda. Kedua, crawler sudah berkunjung namun tidak dapat membaca content karena sesuatu hal, misalnya pada saat web server Anda down atau kelebihan traffic. Pada kasus kedua, search engine biasanya akan berusaha membaca ulang URL tersebut dalam jangka waktu tertentu, namun cara terbaik adalah melakukan pendaftaran ulang apabila website Anda sudah benar-benar siap.Sekarang kita asumsikan pendaftaran website Anda sudah berhasil, apakah itu sudah cukup ? Tentu saja tidak, Anda perlu melakukan pengujian berikutnya. Coba ketikkan keyword atau frase umum yang berhubungan dengan isi website. Misalnya jika website Anda menawarkan produk furniture khas Indonesia, cobalah cari dengan kata kunci "furniture indonesia" misalnya. Jika website Anda muncul di halaman pertama atau kedua, itu sudah bagus. Namun jika website Anda muncul di halaman-halaman belakang, janganlah berharap traffic terlalu banyak. Sangat kecil kemungkinan visitor akan dapat menemukan URL Anda. Mau tidak mau, website Anda harus berjuang memperebutkan posisi 20 besar dari ratusan bahkan jutaan website pesaing.
Teknik Optimalisasi Search Engine Dalam bahasa Inggris disebut Search Engine Optimization (SEO), adalah cara yang harus ditempuh apabila website Anda tidak berhasil menduduki posisi 20 besar untuk keyword yang diharapkan. Ada dua faktor utama yang harus diperhatikan pada proses SEO, yaitu :
• Faktor Internal (berhubungan dengan penulisan content website dan HTML) • Faktor Eksternal (berhubungan dengan link popularity)
1. Faktor Internal
Dalam menentukan rangking, search engine sangat memperhatikan content website sebagai salah satu acuan untuk menentukan tingkat relevansi. Halaman web yang yang desainnya full image, hanya terdiri atas gambar dan flash serta tidak menyertakan teks biasa, sangat sulit dibaca oleh search engine. Walaupun Google saat ini sudah mulai menerapkan teknologi AI (Artificial Intelegence), tetap saja belum bisa membaca makna dari sebuah gambar. Maka dari itu content berupa teks murni wajib dipakai agar website Anda mudah dilisting.
Dalam menyusun content teks, usahakan agar kata kunci atau keyword yang Anda harapkan terpakai pada kalimat-kalimat dalam teks tersebut. Anggap saja keyword tersebut merupakan topik utama. Dan jika Anda punya sedikit pengetahuan tentang HTML, tempatkan keyword pada tag dan pada attribut ALT dalam tag . Penggunaan keyword yang dimaksud disini adalah penggunaan dalam batas yang wajar dengan catatan kalimat masih enak untuk dibaca. Bagaimana menentukan keyword yang tepat untuk website Anda ? Bagaimana kita bisa mengetahui sebuah keyword yang banyak dicari orang ? Jika Anda mengoptimalkan website untuk keyword salah bisa berakibat fatal. Meskipun website Anda berada di posisi paling atas pada halaman pertama, tetap saja tidak berguna sebab keyword yang Anda optimalkan tidak pernah dicari orang. Salah satu cara untuk mengatasi masalah ini dengan menggunakan alat bantu seperti yang disediakan WordTracker.com.
WordTracker.com memiliki database keyword-keyword populer berdasarkan data dari beberapa search engine utama. Anda tinggal mengetikkan topik dari content website Anda, dan dalam beberapa saat WordTracker bisa memberikan keyword-keyword yang berhubungan dengan topik tersebut. Sebagai contoh, penulis memasukkan kata MP3 dan WordTracker bisa memberikan alternatif keyword seperti ini :
- mp3
- free mp3 downloads
- free mp3
- free mp3 music download
- mp3 downloads
- mp3 players
- mp3 midi
- free mp3 music
- free mp3s
- mp3 player
