How good is your website or blog?

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

The quality of your web site is measured by Google, by giving your site or blog, a page rank.
The higher your page rank, the higher your web site is listed in the search engines, and that means more traffic to your site.
How is page rank determined?

  • The more back links you receive from other web sites the higher your page rank. Link back from quality sites on the same topic are better.
  • The higher the page rank that a link is coming from, the better it is to boost your page rank.
  • Another way to improve your page rank is to list your site in web directories, to increase your page rank, and the traffic to your site.

To see your site’s page rank, download and install the Free Google Toolbar.
