Do you want to increase your pagerank? Do you want to know how you can
increase your pagerank? Increasing your pagerank is much easier than understanding its algorithm.Let me tell about the pagerank algorithm.
As an introduction ,
pagerank represents the
importance of a website in the vast internet, where a higher pagerank means better importance in search engines. Pagerank is scaled from 0 to 10 and becomes interesting when involves traffic, The websites with high ranks will win more traffic from search engines.
Before starting, you should know that pagerank is updated once in
3 months. Therefore, you should not expect any changes soon after you start working on it.
Dofollow inbound links (backlinks) are the most critical aspect in calculating your pagerank. Dofollow means that your link will be crawled by the bots / spiders of search engines, nofollow is the contrary, and both are set using anchor text attributes. If all your pages in your blog are linked each other perfectly, you will get a pagerank of 1 easily.
So, here are some methods that can increase your pagerank, starting from the easy ones:
1. Interlinking post
Good dofollow linking (internal site navigation) inside your website will be helpful in increasing your pagerank, but it can only helps to reach a pagerank of 1 without external links. Interlinking can be easily done using an
archive widget which can be placed in your sidebar, or a
sitemap. It will render all your posts / pages connected each other handsomely, since your sidebar / sitemap goes to all your posts / pages.
2. Natural DoFollow Linking
When bloggers write something, they usually put
some external links as an additional information for their readers. The links inside posts are usually dofollow, unless the bloggers specifically and manually defines nofollow attributes.
Here is how you can apply it: first you need to write
good genunine contents. If then people read and get impressed, there is a good chance that they will put your links in their own website / articles without asked (as additional resources). It gains you more dofollow inbound links, gives you more votes, and you grows your pagerank.
More great (not just good) contents means more chance of getting natural dofollow backlinks.
3. Guest post
This is one of the most used and best technique to increase Page Rank for many past years in blogosphere. Most Big Blogs have options of
guest posting through which you can post at their blog and get two or three backlinks (Dofollow) in return to your blog this really helps if you are posting on good Page Rank Blog with the same Niche as yours.
4. DoFollow Link Exchange
Link exchange between sites / blogs is a common thing in the blogosphere / internet. If you have some friends who have websites or blogs with good traffic and pagerank, you can request for dofollow link exchanges. When you can get more of this exchanges, you will earn more votes. Thus your pagerank will increase.
Getting some dofollow link exchanges with
quality sites (higher ranked and relevant) are even better.To get link Exchanges,One should be friendly with other bloggers.
5. DoFollow Reviews
Asking bloggers to write reviews / advertorial about your site (with your dofollow backlinks inside them) will also help building your pagerank. Some reviewing services gives you dofollow links by default, while in some others, you need to manually state that you require dofollow links in the reviews.
You will need to spend some funds for this method, which is best for products and services.
6. DoFollow Text Link Ads
There are lot of websites that provide services in text link ads such as Infolinks, Chitka, Clicksor,etc,. Some of them provide dofollow
text link ads, which can help you to increase your pagerank. These type of ads will make the websites (where they are located) vote for your site and increase your pagerank.
