Ten Ways To Go From Page Rank Zero To Hero
Jul 18th, 2007 by Craig
It seems as though the time for the page rank update is nearly upon us. Although page rank on websites is changing all the time in the background, you only see the tool bar PR change once every quarter, although pagerank can be updated anytime. So according to when the last update was the new one should be happening anytime from now to the beginning of august (my bets the 3rd) Anyone care to have a bet?
In order to achieve maximum update you can do a few things to improve your chances of progressing up the page rank mountain. Page rank is purely calculated on inbound links to your website, however it’s quality that counts here not quantity. A quality link is a link from a website has has lots of authority (tends to be higher page rank sites) with not many outbound links on the page and from a page that is not supplemental is always a good place to start.
Getting a page rank of 1-4 and even 5 is pretty easy to do with the right links coming in and content. So here are the top 10 recommended steps to take to get maximum pagerank. Please note page rank is only important if you want to sell links on your site to make money online, you don’t need to have a high page rank to rank well for terms. I currently have a PR0 but rank 18 on Google.com for make money online.
1) Build as many quality links as possible to your site, and don’t be afraid to spend some money getting links in. Google cannot detect that you have bought or sold any links and long as you don’t shout about it. Arrange your link through e-mail or a forum. A good place to go is text link ads or the buy and trade section of digital point forums.
2) Add a no follow tag to all outbound links. Page rank needs to be spread around, typically most page rank is had on the home page, the more outgoing links you have, the more times your page rank needs to be passed around giveing a lower page rank each time, and leaves less chance of pages deep in you site getting any page rank.
3) Add quality content. You should be doing this all the time anyways, but making quality content will encourage natural link.
4) Arrange to have a review me done on a authoritative blog in your industry, it might seem expensive but if you target the right website to have your review me done on it can drive a lot of traffic to your site. If you have paid attention to point 3 and have quality content then people that visit your site from the review and may link to you building up your link profile.
5) Submit your quality content as done in point 3 to social sites like digg and reddit ETC. for the same principle to take effect as in point 4.
6) Comment on blogs that are in your niche and get a name for your self. Please don’t leave spammy comments on people’s blog or no one is going to pay you any attention. Leave quality comments and think carefully before you write them if done right the webmaster will visit your site to check it out and link to you if you have some good old quality content. If you comment enough times your link will be added to a top commentators list which a lot of blogs have which have the no-follow tag disabled giving you a site wide link on an authority blog for just some time put into comments.
7) If you have not done so already, join mybloglog and add everyone in site who is interested in your niche. Leave comments on their page for them to hopefully visit your site and then link to you.
Sponsor a wordpress theme. I know I have banged on about this one quite a lot but its worth investigating as you can get a lot of links in a short period of time with the anchor text of your choice. Visit Digital point buy and trade section to find some good deals.
9) Exchange links with people. Don’t do this excessively or it will look suspect to Google. Exchange links with relatitive sites, then take them down after a couple of months, hopefully they will have forgotten about your link and just leave it on.
10) Bribe Matt Cutts, if that dosn’t work tell him to give you a really good page rank or you’ll cry. He seems like nice guy he might just do it.
Hmmmm I think that about covers it, I have a few more points but that would be over 10 then, and just defeat the point of the title.

Personally, I am not a fan of the concept of sponsoring free WordPress themes as you lose all control over where your link appears.
How would you feel if one of your sponsored WordPress themes was used for a hate site, or some other site with questionable content?
Suddenly the idea of getting in the backlinks has resulted in your reputation and brand being ruined by its association with such content.

Hi Martin,
A good point, it’s all about risk reward. I weighed the points you have mentioned and decided to do it as my technorati score would shoot up (which it has) I would gets lots of links with anchor text of my choice.
I think the chance of bad neighbourhoods using the wordpress theme are possible but very slim, and are people who are into hatred really going to be interested in Pacdesco.net and making money online, so I don’t particularly think it will spoil my brand.
In my opinion the rewards outrank the risks so it’s worth doing, but certainly a very good point Martin.
Great! Do you know what your page rank is? You are PR4. Surprised?
What are you talking about Blogger?
Craig, I meant currently http://www.pacdesco.net/ is having a PR4.
Check it out !
I see Blogger. The PR 4 I got wasn’t from the actual PR update but from the backlink update. I should go up to a 5 after the actual update. If not I definitely will at the next update.
Thanks for the comment,
Martin
Me too anxiously awaiting to know the PR of my new blog. Let’s hope the best, and one suggestion in SEO and readers’ point of view, try constructing URLs without date.

great article but i do hope google get rid of TBPR, many web masters love the idea of having this!!!
This is a good articel
Web Design Ireland, getting rid of toolbar Pagerank would solve a lot of problems for Google and it would make sense if they did it. As a webmaster I hope they keep it just as it helps to judge the quality and authority of someones site, also good if you want to buy and sell links.
Thanks for the comment,
Martin
