How To Increase Your Page Rank?

Many bloggers would have asked the same question as myself, how do you increase your Google PageRank? Well, let's not get too hasty right now. I mean do you already know what a PageRank is? Maybe you have some clue about this thing, but I'll try to expain here for you.

PageRank is a system for ranking web pages developed by Google's founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University. So Google uses PageRank to determine which site will they viewed on the first page of a search conducted by a person. What really tricky is how does Google give a PageRank for a site. To determine its PageRank, Google analyze the link structure of the site. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at considerably more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; for example, it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important." Using these and other factors, Google provides its views on pages' relative importance. Get the meaning? So to improve your PageRank you have to get other sites link to your site. It would be really excellence if you have links from sites who have higher PageRank than yours. By using this methodology some sites on the internet act as a provider to exchange link within their members. LinkALizer is an example of such sites. You have to register as a member to use their service. To register you only need to fill in the url of your site and your email address. They will then send an invitation to exchange links with other sites. You can accept or reject the invitation. Should you accept, you must put the other site's link in your site. That way, the other site's PageRank will go higher and so as yours.

Well, that is really the simplest way to make your PageRank higher. Optimizing the keywords of your site is also another way. But it requires a skill in SEO. Maybe we'll talk about SEO some other time when I'm finally understand what it is about.
