Pagerank and How to Get It

August 4, 2015 by Richard Vincenti Jr Leave a Comment

Does this sound familiar? You have managed to get your website up and running but now you need people to visit it. You run a Google search to see if your content appears in the search results. Unfortunately, you don’t see any of your hard work or perhaps it does show up, but is appears at the end of the list. Let’s face it, being on the bottom of the list or completely omitted doesn’t feel great. It’s not that big of a deal! After all, you’re just getting started, there is absolutely no reason to get discouraged! With time, effort and patience you can and will start seeing results.number 1 a white background

There are many methods involved in getting your content to show up in Google’s search results, and those methods are collectively referred to as SEO or Search Engine Optimization.

In general, SEO helps to make your content appear in the search results of a search engine. One aspect of a broader SEO strategy is to increase your Pagerank.

In the world of Google search, Pagerank is a ranking system that shows the importance of a website. The scale for this ranking system is from 0 – 10. When you first publish your site or some specific content, you will have a ranking of 0 on this scale. With a few steps and some patience, you can begin to increase your ranking. Let’s hit on a few of those steps now.

Let’s face it, being on the bottom of the search list or completely omitted doesn’t feel great. It’s not that big of a deal! After all, you’re just getting started, there is absolutely no reason to get discouraged! With a little time, effort and patience you can and will start seeing results. – Richard Vincenti Jr

1. Quality Content!

Yes, the number one spot in this guide is the quality of your content. Don’t try to get ahead with gimmicky methods, they just won’t work. Even if you happen to gain some ground with poorly written content, it is likely that either Google’s Algorithms or one of their employees will eventually catch on to what you’re doing and your site will lose it’s position and possibly be removed completely from a given search result.

The best thing you can do is write original, quality content that is relevant and isn’t filled with nonsense. Try to stick with something unique or compelling. If the subject you’re covering is widely discussed, then make sure your content has your unique perspective and style. This will not only engage your audience better but it will also prove to Google that your website is important and relevant, which will lead to an increase in pagerank.

2. Use Good Keywords but not Too Many

Keywords are an important part of SEO in general, they help with getting your content in front of people. On your site, you need to use keywords that are not only relevant, but are likely to be searched for. You can check on the most popular keywords by using a keyword tool like Google’s Keyword planner. Just be aware that overpacking your post full of keywords will lead to poor results. Google will notice your keyword crunching, (as I like to call it) and will consider your content to be unimportant and of poor quality.

3.  Work on Backlinks

As your site begins to gain visitors you will start to build up a reputation. You should try to reach out to other websites that share similar interests and have a good reputation with their own audience and with Google. Make sure that their content is relevant, don’t just swap links, make sure the end result is providing the visitor with good solid information on the topic they are searching for. Reach out to others and send them an email, then ask to share content or maybe do a guest post for them. Remember that they need backlinks and content as well. Post on other websites that hold discussions and provide answers to questions and then link back to your site.

I don’t want to overstate this, but in the world of SEO it really does help to make friends out there. Just reach out to people whenever you can and share your common interests and goals.  – Richard Vincenti Jr

4. Work on Keeping things Up-to-Date

This one is simple, Google likes updated content and so do your visitors. Give people a reason to come to your website and then give them a reason to return. Another benefit to adding more content is that you will increase your chances of hitting on a topic that is highly desirable. This will lead to traffic, backlinks and eventually Pagerank. You also want to continue building a good library of content to provide a richer experience for your visitors and give search engines more and more to pull from.

5. Be Patient 

Even after you have taken these steps to improve your SEO and in turn your Pagerank. You will likely not see an increase in your ranking for some time. Google’s systems will eventually come along and consider your website to be of higher importance, but that only happens (as far as I know) a few times a year. If you keep up the hard work and stay dedicated, you should be rewarded with an audience and a higher ranking.

YouTube Could Offer Paid Subscription Service

October 23, 2013 by Richard Vincenti Jr Leave a Comment

Billboard has reported that YouTube may be offering a paid subscription service later this year that focuses on music, more specifically, music videos. The service will likely have both premium and free content that will be available on any device.

The challenge for Google is that many users already enjoy their favorite music for free at anytime on YouTube, so how could they design a service you would want to pay a fee for? It’s likely that some features may include the removal of ads, access to full albums, and exclusive “premium only” content. In many ways this service will be similar to what Spotify currently offers and with the massive audience that YouTube has, this could be a very sucessful move for them.

As of this posting there is no official confirmation from YouTube on whether or not such a service will launch or if it does, when, although some have speculated a holiday launch later this year.

Google Scanning Your Gmail

September 26, 2013 by Richard Vincenti Jr Leave a Comment

email security

Google has implemented some features into Gmail that scan your email. The company mentions that scanning you email is necessary in order to provide beneficial features like spam prevention, but not everyone is onboard with the idea.

A class-action lawsuit was brought against Google recently over the use of automated email scanning. Users felt that Google’s terms of service were unclear, at best, in explaining to users that their email would be scanned and what will happen with all of that information. Google immediately asked the U.S federal judge to dismiss the lawsuit stating that the automated email scanning process is fully disclosed to all Gmail users.

However, the judge did not dismiss the case and actually ruled yesterday that Google’s terms of service and privacy policies do not clearly state that they are intercepting user emails and profiling them. Google did try to defend it’s actions by stating that users are giving “implied consent” when signing up for an email service, but that defense didn’t hold. This is obviously going to be a problem for Google moving forward as they  implement more features that depend on scanning email content. Google will also need to draw up a more explicit version of their terms for Gmail users.

On the other side of ruling, we see a big win for online privacy, which is quickly disappearing in a more and more transparent digital world. While many understand the benefits of allowing such information to be collected, not every wants to consent, and even those who would  consent would still like to know how their information is being collected and used.

The ruling is available online in PDF format for you to read.

WebP a New Image Format from Google

July 5, 2013 by Richard Vincenti Jr Leave a Comment

WebP Logo

There is a huge demand for everything to be faster, especially internet speeds. We are constantly trying to see how much data we can pack into our devices and how quickly we can do it. Instead of always focusing on giving each user more bandwidth, it also helps to reduce the size of the files that we are trying to send and receive. The combination of these two methods can greatly improve overall internet “speed”.

The development team at Google has focused on the latter of these two and they have created a new image format which is called WebP. WebP is an image format specifically designed for the web and it’s based off of the VP8 video codec. Google claims it’s WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to the PNG format. Google also says that WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller in size when compared to JPEG images.

WebP is not widely supported, mostly because it’s brand new, but Google is trying to change that and they hope to completely replace the current web image standards. You can find our more information on this new image format on Googles’ own developer page.
