Get more links pointing to the blog or site. It's really THAT easy. You'll find out quickly though that quality links from related sites that are doing better than you in the search results will get you more PR than a bunch of crummy links from sites that are about as related to each other as apples and zebras.
PR is nothing .. just submit to 1000's of high PR directories and you get high PR also ... get traffic ...
agreed! High ranking means more traffic! don't focus on getting high pr.. anyway, you can still rank # 1 in Google even if your site is PR 0..
Sorry, but I don't agree with this. The directory's home page may have a high PR, but it's entirely possible that the PR of the pages your listing appears on could be next to nothing. Also, PageRank does play a part, but it's not that important; besides, if you focus on getting high rankings and writing quality unique content that people will want to link to, those backlinks and higher PR will come naturally - meaning that it will take care of itself. You can still get no traffic from high rankings if the search terms you optimized and are now ranking #1 for aren't being searched for.
get the one way link through submitting free directories. if you don't have directories list, you can touch me. at hurlinghamclinic (at) gmail (dot) com
link building would be the best answer for that the problem is (for some), how to do proper quality link building... because some people just buy and buy high pr links, when you can do quality submissions for free
L I N K S Also check the PR of the page from which you are getting the link, as well as the number of outbound links on that page
Build good quality content which people links to without you telling them to do so. That is the true way to get both PR and traffic.
I agree with everyone else... you need inbound links! Preferably high PR links that are related to your site.
Hello shruti, you can get higher pr for ur website/blog through high pr quality back links pointing to your websites. Still you need to face such comments over here: " PR is Worth Less For Me " may be those persons are still sleeping...
Absolutely incorrect. How do you know the search term has no searches? if you use keyword tracker or any other tool to find that out, you are doing it 'incorrectly'. Remember, those tools only gives you the average. So for example if you want to rank for a term, if one person searches for that term even twice in a month, you still get 2 clicks. This is what we call "organic" seo. Regardless of how many clicks the term gets, you still use it. Good for branding as well.
Ok my thoughts and some small experience of having a few blogs myself. 1. Relevant Links 2. Keywords 3. Content
You're failing to see the forest for the trees here, Zafar. You're also forgetting who you're replying to, as well. I didn't say anything about using a keyword tracker or any other such childrens' toy. I'm talking about wanting to optimize for a search term that nobody really looks for, at the expense of the search terms that people ARE looking up when trying to find something that a Web page (or site) you "optimized" is related to. And before anyone gets any crazy ideas, no, I'm NOT talking about long-tail searches, either, because even those (when done properly) can bring in significant amounts of traffic VERY quickly, as sweetfunny actually demonstrated not too long ago. Is this some kind of Martian moon logic? Just because someone searches for something twice a month doesn't mean YOU will get those clicks. That person could choose to click the link to a competitors' site, or choose not to click on ANY of the results - in either case you still get ZERO clicks from that search. To think otherwise is very foolish, and that's being polite. Ever hear of too much of a good thing being bad for you? If you try chasing every single last possible click-through, you're going to end up with a crap Web site - it's that simple. Instead of chasing after random clicks and useless traffic like a third-rate lawyer chases ambulances looking for his next meal ticket, I choose to instead discriminate against my potential users by targeting the sites I develop and optimize for to those who will be looking for what I have to offer, and then convert them into registrations, commenters, participants, customers, whatever the objective of the site is. Go ahead and have your 100,000 unique page views with your 0.01% conversion rate per week. I'll take my 25,000 unique page views and 5-10% conversion rate any day - even in my sleep. The point is not to get as much traffic as possible - most of the traffic will bounce right back out and straight to another site. The point is to convert that traffic into something useful and tangible (for an ecommerce site that would be sales, for a blog that would be a loyal commenting readership, for a forum that would be new registrations of active forum members). And then once you have that, improve upon it as much as possible - keep working on improving the rankings, driving the targeted quality traffic to the pages, and then convert them. Over time, the site will over-take those with higher traffic and lower conversion rates. If you don't want to do that, that's ok. I'll be more than happy to accept yoru dissatisifed customers and visitors with open and welcoming arms.
You didn't really get me. Big companies prefer to have their website on top for every keyword related to their niche regardless of how many clicks the search term gets even if it is 0. Besides, you can't reall find out if the search term really gets "0" unless it's a really long tail search phrase. They do this because it comes under corporate branding which I would recommend you to read. You said the same thing I was trying to say. Ah, you are going too deep. Even if the search term has "32" searches a day, that doesn't mean you get all "32". Common sense. It is actually the presence of that website for that search term. Again, I am talking about in terms of branding. You are taking this to a different point now. We were talking about whether to optimize or not for a search term that gets clicks or no clicks at all to have presense in SE for every keyword/keyphrase which shows how active your website is. ROI or convertion ratio, that is a different topic and I do agree with what you said above. You need to calm down, I am not Jason Calacnis (sp?).
Correct. I just came from explaining this to someone. He said he was hiring SEO's based on the high PR of a website they have.
