In part 1 of this article I tried to explain some of the basics of increasing to PR4, PR5, PR6.
Now I want to help you put this information into practice:
Step 1
If you have a PR4 blog, and you want to use it to increase the PR rank of your other blogs, then look at the page carefully and remove all the outbound links (or links to other pages) that you can.
Add a link to the new website in keyword anchored text. Do not add the link in a blogroll or menue. Never make it disappear by matching the color to the background, this type of Black Hat SEO will get your site banned.
Google gives more value to 'deep' pages and article pages. So if you build a link building campaign around an article instead of the home page, you can use that page with its high value, to increase the PR on the rest of the website.
Your PR will climb faster if you build links to an article than if you link to the home page.
Step 2
Try to get links on high PR pages. Don't worry about trying to get free content articles spread across the net. They often have high numbers of outbound links - decreasing the value that your blog will get.
Step 3
Keep your blog targeted, keep it focused on a single topic, and make sure that your keywords are not varied. Compare your topic to the Google ads and make sure they are for the same things.
Step 4
Links have value - Not all links are equal.
- Those which are anchored inside text are given the highest value.
- Forums appear to be valued more than articles.
- The keywords in the anchored index text (the inbound links) must match the keywords that are most common in the blog
Shot In The Dark
There are some other methods that people are trying, but I don't know if they work.
Commenting on PR6 blogs: While in theory this is true. I do not see the value. If the blog has no-follow links then there is no value commenting on that blog.
But, most comments are attached to the page, and not the index page. They are only 'on' the index page through database code. The URL of the article is 'not' the home page. If you click the article URL, you'll find that it has PR0, even if the home page had PR7
This might give you some PR value, but I haven't found anyone who has proven this works.
Free Content Articles: Again, even thought the PR value of the content's home page is high, the article page will not be. The value is questionable. You should only count this PR as PR0.
That said - nothing is a waste of time. You will always get traffic and a few thousand PR0 links may reduce the number of high links needed to increase the PR.
Buy Directory Links: Again, buying links in directories may have some benefit, but the PR is calculated from the PAGE the link appears on, not the site's home page. Also, as the pages are buried, their value is decreased. After a while, a page that hasn't been changed for a long time is 'dumped' by the search engine spiders.
This means that many people out there are buying PR5 links for $50 - $200 that have no value, because they are buying based on the home page .... and their link is pasted 1200 pages deep in the directory.
If you want to try this then test the PR of a high website. Find one with PR6. Then, start pasting the pages from the site into a Google Page Rank Tool and watch the PR drop to PR0 - PR2
What to Avoid
- I've tried to use the signature line to build links - It doesn't work.
- Adding headers and footers to newsletters and blog posts will not work. Text links inside them will.
- Text links in side bars will work
- Links in menus do not 'appear' to have as much value as keyword anchored text. Avoid building long lists of links in your side bars, this will only decrease their value.
- links inside of articles and forums have more value - but not the sig lines.
