Lately lots of major website was faced with page rank drop. Not to mention it affected the blogs network too. Some reduce from 5 -> 3, 4->2..etc. Now how does Google calculate and rank your website. I must say it is a complicated algorithm or formula. However, I bet there are human intervention too because there are sneaky and smart people who find ways to abuse the system.
Let me make it simple for you especially for those who do not have any clue about page ranking.
Google page ranking is dependant on a few factors like content, traffic, back links, outgoing links and other stuff put together. Content is basically what you write. If you write good content, people will link to you and by linking to you, other visitors may drop into your site to read your content. If you have many people visiting your site, that is call traffic. Traffic produces good ranks but this is not just it.
When other site link to you, it is call back links. Back links are very important to increase your ranks. Example if your site has lots of rank 4 sites linking to you, your site will eventually be rank 4. If you have lots of rank 3 sites linking to you, most likely you will be rank 3.
Outgoing links are the links you create on your site. The more link you have, the rank will be affected greatly. Therefore, link smartly. Links include paid links and other links too. You do want to link to other sites so that you can share with others your rank. By the way, I found that there is couple of bloggers who removed their links or blog roll which makes me think that they do not want to share ranks with others.
By the way, page rank is tie to the page and not entire domain. Some pages you get rank and some you don’t. If a blogger link to you using his/her PR 0 page, it means he/she is sharing PR 0 with you. Be smart.
There are things you should avoid doing and it is a BIG NO NO that Google will penalize you big time for it. Do not participate in any linking activities such as link farm or tags of linking to a whole bunch of people you do not know. I saw a lot of those kinds of tags and it does not help with your PR. Do not create post with bogus keywords or have hidden texts or links.
Lastly, do housekeep your sites with links and link smartly. Hope you have a good rank!
Seems like we have no choose except doing housekeeping lor…
How about the nofollow code? is it suitable use in old paid post? can this help? headache ler…PR looks important for me when come to paid post only..if no paid post buat apa susah susah gain high PR?
then how about the backlink? will it impact our ranting too? we could do housekeeping in our own blog only, but sure cannot make any change for the backlink..will it effected our blog also?
sorry ahh..so many questions I have..too curious about this page rank thingy but I’m don’t know much about it. haii
Msau: Backlinks are impt, that’s why there is such thing call pay post. Usually with pay post, the advertiser will not allow no follow. The rest of the questions, I have email you the answers. But with Google, they can change the algorithm any time. I will wait and see.
seems like i have to ask those PR0 to remove me oh….. LOL
Chooi Peng: It is better to hope that their page move up rank. 😉
this is new knowledge to me even I don’t write paid post. So to pages or post like mine (none paid post one), do i still have page rank? I believe it got nothing to do with me right but i’m afraid it may link to others… should I be aware too?? How to check for which page rank we have?
Woo..now only i understand..
suddenly feel like everyone just so concern about the money not the friendship 🙁
I only thought that outboard link will effect our PR but never know that backlink will effect too. But quite hard to request those lower PR blog not to link us..Well, i think the big mistake I make is working to hard to created tag and blogroll. My blog’s PR has donated to lower PR blog lor…Next time will careful on choosing blogroll members, better benefit blog that I read rather than now..don’t even know which blog has share my PR..:lol: Hopefully, all the others blog will get higher PR on next update. So that my blog will gain some benefit from them too..:lol:
Msau: Sorry, I think there maybe a misunderstanding. The more backlinks to your site the better, whether it is PR0 or PR10. Besides, those PR0 will eventually have ranking mah. So pls don’t ask ppl not to link to you. The more ppl linking to you the better. Google also count links and it is part of their equation.
Hui Sia:I will always treasure friendship.
