Increasing Your PageRank
The number one reason, as we have discussed before, for buying and trading text links is to raise your PageRank value. PageRank works as an “election” of sites. The ones with the most “votes” get the highest search priority when Google shows results to web browsers. But just how do you raise PageRank outside of text links? After all, text links aren’t the only way to get a higher PageRank, though they are the easiest.
For starters, PageRank is a value that is calculated every couple of months. This means that for the first few months of your site’s existence, expect the PageRank to be zero and nothing else. That doesn’t mean you have a bad site and have to make wholescale changes. It just means that you have to be patient and wait out the beginning period.
PageRank determines how useful a site is to someone looking for a certain keyword. If you have a site about poker, the search engine will be looking for how many times you actually mention poker-related words. This makes it critical for new sites to “optimize” their sites by using keywords a good amount of time. This means that even if it may sound weird to overuse the word poker, it will result in higher search results if you do it.
Now, there are plenty of sites online that will tell you what percentage of your post has a certain keyword. In fact here is one right here. Just use this site and make sure you keep the percentage of the keyword to 3-4% and you’ll be fine. Your PageRank should eventually rise and once you have a loyal traffic coming in, you can stop writing keywords in at a high rate.
