Google Rankings — What They Do For Your Web Site
Google Rankings
- What The Heck Are They? A guide for simple folk.
Ok so you have a web site, but you want to know if it is popular. One such method is to look up your web sites Google ranking or correctly put in Google parlance, Page Rank. I could give you the hugely confusing technobabble but this is the nut and bolt of it.
A better page rank is a greater chance of actually making money off of your web site. This is after you have done all the seo work you need to do, the next thing is to work at have a very popular site.
To give you an idea,
- Facebook with 400 million users has a Google Page Rank of 9,
- Myspace.com has a ranking of 9 and bearing in mind that the best you can get is a 10,
- Gumtree has a seven.
It used to be easier to get a higher page rank, Google along with its other metrics has changed that.
In part it has to do with bing.com the new, old msn search tool. Msn, Yahoo and Yandex all also search each other , not to mention Ask.com one of the first along with altavista.com and the hidden secret to googles’ algorithm , wayback.org.
NewAgeLondon.com is a case in point, once only UK based, the ranking has increased since the business and the server are now international. Relevance scores this higher and the page rank is now 2 and above. It fluctuates but never to date has it dropped below a two. My own web site has a ranking of 3.
How Do I Do It?
This means I post regularly and often and people comment on the content and share that with their friends & that is the secret.
Clients that have taken on board and worked at it have reached much higher page ranks, of course the minute you stop, the page rank starts to die off just as the seo does
Stop doing the search engine optimisation and the effects are felt soon enough
Do you have to have a high page rank?
Contrary to old thinking it is not essential, but one of those things you want in order to get the high numbers of punters interested in your web site like a porsche or a bmw, they will get you there faster and as such it costs more, much more and over a longer period of commitment to your own optimisation of your web site.
