Forums like digital point are full of threads about pagerank. Almost everyday new threads are being created to talk about the famous google pagerank. At least 25 % of the people that reply in those threads are saying that pagerank does not matter. They are true if we are talking about rankings. Lot of websites with pagerank 0 rank higher than a website with pagerank 5.
But when we are looking at advertisement opportunities, pagerank plays an important role. Advertiser will buy links faster on your site if it has a good pagerank. A good pagerank is a pagerank 4 or higher. The higher the better ofcourse, but at pagerank 4 you can start to earn money just because you have pagerank.
If you want to get a high pagerank you need backlinks. These backlinks are easy to get if you have enough money to spend. But what if you don’t have all that money to spent? Than it is still easy.
- Submit your website to free web directories
- Ask other website owners in the same niche for a link exchange
- Comment on a lot of websites/blogs to get more traffic and exposure
If you use these 3 methods I am sure you can get a good pagerank. Submitting your website to directories will take some time, but it is worth it. You will build a good link popularity for your website and Google likes that.
This blog went up from pagerank 0 to pagerank 4 in its first update. Now the second update came and it got a pagerank 5. A bigger example: Nate went from a pagerank 0 to a pagerank 5 in its first update, which is a good job, and he did not spend money on building links.
What I am saying is that you can get a good pagerank with little effort and no money to spend. Just use your time the right way, follow these 3 methods and you will succeed.

Nomar, I agree that it can be done with no money. But you do have to put out quite a bit of effort. Posting on forums, commenting on others’ sites, listing in free directories, etc. does take time and effort. And that’s just the implementation. Thinking about what to do next takes up a ton of my time. Not saying it’s not worth it, but it does require effort.

I totally aggre about timing. It takes very long time for succes. But it does worth it.

Thanks for the linkage, Nomar. Good article!

I just can’t imagine how it’s NOT important. Silly.

Just look at Yellow Pole, a site I manage. It went from PR0 to PR5 in two months!

Yup. Bang on. I am just starting out and the advice you have Nomar is practical for anyone starting out with limited resources.

Business Twins is predicted to be pagerank 4 the next update. My brother and I have a goal to get it to at least pagerank 5 though.
Does anyone know when the next pagerank update will be?

PAge Rank was just updated a few weeks ago. The next update should be in three months.

Very nice HMTK.
Yes, pagerank updates are every 3-4 months. Nobody knows the exact date

pagerank is a mystery, it could just be a way of showing the artifical importance of a page while google has the real importance in their databases.

All this information in my opinion is true. I refuse to spend money to get my website out there. I’m all about organic methods. Everything you listed I’ve used, and is proven effective. If you can, come check out my blog http://www.randlife.com
Tell me what you think, and mabey you would be interested in some link exchange.
Thanks,

Timing and effort are the two important things. If you are consistent and patient, you will see page rank improving, and traffic coming if you regularly add posts to your blog, and get links for it
