Discover Why Google Considers Your Sites PR in Search Results
Written by PLRMan on February 24, 2009 – 2:35 pm -PageRank or PR is a value that Google has placed on web site content. As a web site that contains quality content ages, it can increase in PR. Quality relevant content will help to raise your sites PR over time. In addition, links pointing to your content from other web sites will also help the GoogleBot understand that your site has value to others. This increases your sites value and over time the PR.
The value of page content is ranked from zero to ten, ten being the highest value your site can achieve. However, a high PR does not always mean high search results. A site with a zero PR can be positioned higher due to a variety of reasons, including the content being deemed more relevant. There may not always be a visible or viable reason as to why one site achieves a higher position in the search results.
Google no longer places as high a value on the PR of a site than it used it. It is still a factor, but there are many other important parts to consider in your quest to achieve a higher page position in the search engine results. Even though this is true, people are still trying to manipulate their PR using illegal techniques that will in time result in penalties or removal from Googles search results completely.
PageRank is only one of 200 different components as to how any one page or website gains a search engine position for any particular keyword search. PageRank is still one of the more valuable components, yet it is not the only consideration. Google tries to understand the relevance of your sites content by taking into consideration all 200 components including what other people think of your sites content.
One of the most important things you can do to build your sites PR is to provide relevant quality content. It is the springboard to a successful long-term search engine solution.
Let’s consider two important parts that make up a valuable addition to the search engine results.
1. Quality and relevance for your reader is the first consideration. Making sure that the GoogleBot can understand that information is also important. This is where a good understanding of SEO comes in handy. People actually pay a monthly service fee to keep up with good SEO techniques. Yet, the fact is, Google does not hide any of their requirements. In fact, it’s all free. Just visit Google and you can learn just about anything you need to know to help increase your sites search engine results.
2. Acquiring referral links or “back-links” from other sites that are related to your sites content is the second part. Don’t be fooled into believing that using techniques to fool the GoogleBot offer you anything more than temporary results.
The right way to achieve back-links is through good SEO habbits. Joining social networks, writing quality content and submitting it to article directories or sites with similar content will help you obtain natural quality links.
Buying your way to the top is a bad idea. People who sell back-links do so by way of Link Farms. Avoid paying for this type of service. Once Google locates these types of services all links are then recorded. If the trail of links leads to your site, it could result in your site being penalized and or removed.
Google is fighting very hard to weed out sites that try to buy or manipulate their way to the top of the search results. There is no need to worry if you simply work at offering your visitors the relevant quality content they seek. Using these methods will help your site gain a higher PR over time and the results will be long term and rewarding.
