Benifit of having high pr links pointing to your website.

Today I want to talk about how a link from a high pr website helps your website and what it can do to get you better results. Now of course the first reason most people want high pr links is because they pass more page rank to your website. But lets take a look at some of the other reasons why some people go after these links.

1). Faster Indexing.

Since sites that have a high page rank are visited more often by the search engine spiders, the chance of your site being picked in a short period of time is very likely. Sites with low pr are not crawled as often and therefore it may be awhile before google finds these links, unless that site has a few high pr links pointing to it as well, the link will in fact be found sooner or later but not as fast if that link was coming from a site with high page rank.

2). Cached More Often.

Although somewhat already explained, sites that have a high page rank are cached more often by google, this is because google sees that site as an authority and therefore comes by more often looking for changes, if any change is found then google will most likely recache that page and at the same time come by and pay your site visit as well. Therefore, by having high pr links pointing at your site it allows google to come by your site more often and look for changes.

3). Crawls Deeper Into Your Site.

Another reason people go after high pr links is because it is believed that google will crawl deeper into your site if they find you listed on high pr website, now I can not really prove if this is true or not, but I can say that when I got a few high pr links for my directory a few months back I did see a big jump in the amount of pages that google indexed from my site, and google does seem to pick up new pages alot faster then what they use to, so maybe there is some truth in this.

The bottom line is that high pr links do in fact help your website, does that mean you need to start spending a arm and leg for these links? No, but I do recommend that you get at least 1 pr 7 to point to your site if you are having problems getting all of your pages indexed in the search engines. I know some people that buy these only long engough to get there whole site indexed and then they drop the link. Not a bad idea if you are tring to get new pages to gain pr in time for the next update.

Well that is my tip for today, again thanks for reading and keep stoping by from time to time to see what else I am talking about.

Tips for Ranking multiple keywords to your homepage.

I thought I would provide a tip on how you can rank for muliple keywords on your homepage. This infomation may not be new to some of you, but those who are just starting out will find this information very helpful. In order to rank well for muliple keywords the first thing you will want to do is remove your "meta description" tag from the source code. Although some search engines do in fact still use the "meta description" it is not a big factor for some of the major search engines out there.

There are two differnt options you could use when trying to rank for more than one keyword. (1) You could deep link to those keyword pages (Most likely this would be the best choice) or you can place some content on your homepage that is relevant to the keywords that you are targeting. For example, let's say you are targeting "cleaning services" then you could insert a paragraph on your homepage that talks about "cleaning services". By removing the meta description tag this will cause google to search your page for the phrase cleaning services, if they find it then they will place that information in the description durning a search result.

Therefore, you can target muliple anchor text for your homepage and will not need to add other pages to your site. I hope this information is to you, if nothing else just run a few test to see how it works for you.

As always, thanks for reading.
