Hold on for dear life as three of the hottest contenders in the wild world of bull riding attempt to maintain their grips long enough to earn the coveted PBR World Champion title as documentary filmmaker John Hyams turns his lens on a treacherous sport where eight seconds can mean the difference between ultimate victory and crushing defeat. Justin McBride is a third-generation bull rider looking to keep the family tradition alive, Mike Lee is a born-again Christian who calls on the power of the Lord to keep him on the bull, and Adriano Morales is a professional rider who has been holding on tight since the age of 18. With the gold belt buckle and a millions dollars in prize money on the line, these three finalists have seven days to prove their worth in the arena and show the crowd that they have what it takes to ride their way to the championship title. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Have you ever gone through the often depressing exercise of typing in keywords, even specific ones, on a search engine like Google, only to find your site buried in the muddy depths of page three? At this point, may I suggest that you have probably done one of three things, a) shrugged your shoulders and elected to market your services or goods in old-fashioned ways, b) got dispirited and closed your site down, or, c) made some enquiries about changing the situation so that your Web site ranked somewhere high on page 1 instead of down there in the mud.

It is you C people that will most likely be reading this article, and you are definitely the category of Web Owners who I believe will benefit both of us, by reading this article.

So just how do you go about improving the position of your website on a search engine, when a potential customer of yours tries to find goods or services in your area that you can offer them?

Well firstly let us get through some of the verbage. The measure of whether you are top 10 on page 1 of the search result, or somewhere else, (which really translates to nowhere), is all down to a calculation called page ranking or PR for short. Okay, so now you know this, let us discuss how you can increase that PR so as to drive real live prospective customers to your site in ever increasing numbers.

The major search engines all use a similar algorithm to determine the PR of any given site as a result of any given keyword search. The full detail of how that algorithm is constructed is beyond the scope of this short article, so let’s discuss the dot points.

The number of hits your site receives is taken into account, as is the volume of content, and the time you have been continuously online. However, the most powerful criteria the search engine will use is something loosely described as peer linkage. Peer linkage, what on earth is that I hear you ask? Peer linkage expressed very simply is a count of how many sites, with relevance to yours, have chosen to have a link to your site.

By way of and example; Pete the plumber from Anytown has a website. He is a successful plumber and has developed strong relationships with various plumbing supply companies in his area. Because of this relationship those plumbing supply companies have chosen to place a link back to Pete’s website on their websites. They choose to do this, as they find him to be an honest tradesman who represents the craft of plumbing well, and who undoubtedly supports their busnesses by buying his supplies from them. What Pete possibly doesn’t realise is that his site will have a very favourable PR ‘hit’, largely due to the fact that his local suppliers all carry a link back to him. This is a classic example of peer linkage in operation. In addition, the higher the PR that the plumbing supply sites have, the more upwards leverage our friend Pete will experience as a result of them choosing to link back to him.

Does this scenario fit your business and your website? If so, could you, (or would you), do the necessary legwork to have relevant peer sites place a link back to your site, on their site? If the answer is potentially yes, but there aren’t that many hours in the day, read on for a solution.

There is a whole industry out there devoted to assisting you, for a fee, to optimise your search engine ranking or PR. This industry is known collectively as search engine optimisation, or SEO for short. For a fee, usually a very big fee, they will take your web address and tweak it to maximise your PR. Want to know how they do it?

Well the main way for them to optimise your search engine results is to create peer sites, mimicking the example given above of Pete and his suppliers, and make sure that those peer sites contain a link back to your site. So what, in internet terms constitutes a site? Does it have to be a full-blown bells and whistles website? No it does not. It just has to have what is known as an HTTP address, in other words a unique Internet address that is searchable by everyone. One page is fine, as long as that page contains information relevant to your site, along with a link back to your site. By a million miles the most time and cost efficient method of achieving these requirements is to write an article that is relevant to your business goods or services and publish it on the Internet.

My suggestion is simply this. Cut out the cost, and cut out the middleman, and create these articles yourself.

So what does this entail? Well it means you need to be able to write, at least 6, (preferably 10 to 12), articles the contents of which bear a strong relationship to your business and your site, and have them published on the Internet. No, they don’t have to be War and Peace, 4 or 500 words minimum is acceptable, just ensure that it is relevant to your site and that it is free of spelling and grammatical errors. Oh and hey, don’t forget the all important inclusion of the link back to your website.

Okay, so you’ve got your articles written and I hear you ask, now what! Well I suggest you find an article site that accepts articles from authors, just like you, and publishes them for free on the Internet. This gives your article its unique Internet address, and therefore the peer support that the search engines seek to determine your page ranking. What’s even better, is that other sites can (and do) adopt your article as their own, and by publishing it on their site, spreading the distribution of your article, thereby working to further increase your page ranking.

So how can sites like this exist, publishing articles for free? Do they on the other side charge people to read, download or print your article? No they do not. These types of sites rely on the targeted advertising that is shown on them. Advertising aimed at you the author, as well as all the people who may choose to read print or download your articles.

One final tip, and a breath of fresh air to authors. Instead of joining all these article sites one by one, why not sign up with a marketer who will accept your article and then in turn distribute it widely on your behalf. Article Marketer is one such service. Have a look at the costs, and determine how much your time is worth. Are you really saving money when you are frequently diverted from the main game of writing those articles?

All the very best of luck maximising your footprint on the gigantic world wide web.

Page Rank – Here are Measurable Numbers

In a recent update of how Google assigns authority, many web sites were assigned a reduced rate based on Googles Page Rank system. Google assigns a rating scale of 0 -10 as a form of reputation for a web page. Page rank can be found by the use of the Google toolbar.

Remember that Google ranks individual pages not sites. This is why I always recommend a clean design, which gives every page the same chance. Some database driven web sites don’t allow for this and even some marketing people don’t agree. When you are looking to win in competitive markets you need to apply this.

This change occurred after Google has voiced its dislike of the purchase of paid links for the reason of influencing natural search results. Business models have been based on the buying and selling of links for the purpose of gaining rank.

Many opinions had been made that these two events are connected and they effect the ranking of web sites. This is common opinion in the internet marketing area and provides a distorted view of the world. Only an assessment of a specific site can provide us real, measurable information.

One site that lost a large measure of its PR (Page Rank) from a rating of 10 to 6 is statcounter.com In a keyword count statcounter has over 3129 to keyword ranking listings. One of the number one ranked keywords, is “web stats”.

Based on the Gtrends tool from the keyword research site, Wordtracker.com, this word receives 18750 estimated searches per month in Google. Statcounter has kept it’s top ranking both before and after the update.

This brings us the conclusion that the reduction of page rank change was more of just a reshuffle of authority, rather than a change of how Google ranks web sites. Other sites that sell paid links have had similar results.

Its important to have measurable, real information based on facts rather that the guidance of a vastly out of date tool, like page rank. I make it my goal to educate on numbers rather than opinion of the masses.

Online their are many sites who state they are on SEO, however they is such opinion floating around that you never know where the truth comes- beware the opinion it will drive you crazy. Numbers don’t lie, if its your bank account or in your traffic and sales conversion.

www.WeberInternetMarketing.com Use intra-linking for better Google page rank. Just having your website links in the navigation system is not enough. Having links within the content of your website pages which link to other pages on your site is called intra-linking. This process, along with some article directory listings, bookmarking, and directory back links will result in many of your site pages having a page rank value of one to two. When I see a new client site that has zero page rank value I know they have not done a proper intra-linking and other free back linking methods available. Interlinking is a simple process and should be done every time a new page is created on your site. When I create a new page on my website, I always open up a few other pages that are related to that pages topic and create some links linking back to the new page I created. Likewise, on the new page I created, I always create a least one point to another page somewhere on the site. Interlinking is one of those steps required for good search engine optimization. Intra-linking is valuable for achieving an initial page rank with Google.

Yes, it will help. This is called link-baiting. You create a resource guide about your topic in the hopes that other will link to it.

You could put it directly on your site, though…no need to build a second website.

You could even do yoursite.com/blog and publish the help guides and videos there.

Good luck!

That kind of site doesn’t rank very high – it screams “the only reason for this site is for me to make money”. Sites that rank high are sites of interest to users, how interesting the site is to the owner is irrelevant. (And “send me money” sites aren’t interesting to users, nor do they ever rank high.)
