How to Get Higher PageRank Quickly

August 22, 2007

This question: How to get higher PageRank quickly? was posted in the comment of one of my Blogger blogs where I give away free backlinks. Frankly, unless you are an SEO specialist or SEO consultant selling SEO services, you don’t need high PageRank.

It is a myth that having high PageRank will guarantee top listing in search engine results.

However, if you are after PageRank for ego reason then I will show you the shortcut method which I used for this blog.

How Internet Marketing Coach Got PageRank of PR4

I have been studying how to build backlinks and increase PageRank value for sometime. I observed that blog hosted on WordPress.com can get PR3 or higher easily. So I started this blog to try get ranked within Top 10 for the search terms internet marketing coach. This blog shot up to PR4 when Google updated the PageRank.

Shortcut to Getting PageRank Quickly for Free

The one thing that helps this blog to attain PR4 is the backlinks from http://wordpress.com/tag/….

In order to get these backlinks, you will need to categorize each of your posts. You will need to categorize your post according to the WordPress.com tags.

For example, I will put this post under the category of pagerank. When I do this, my blog post will be added to wordpress.com/tag/pagerank which is a PR5 web page. So I will get a PR5 backlink to this post.

And I will also put this post in the category of blogging. The page, wordpress.com/tag/blogging is PR7 and this new post very likely will be spidered by Googlebot within hours.

So, this post will get 2 backlinks with PR5 and PR7. It’s easy, isn’t it?

How to Ensure Your PageRank Sticks

Here’s another observation after months of monitoring some of my blogs. Your web page’s PageRank will drop if you do not post frequently. The more often you write, the faster your blog gain PagePank and the longer it maintains.

    [...] I think when it comes to free blogging platforms, it’s either Blogger.com or WordPress.com. From my experience of using both blogware, you can get quicker search engine visibility with WordPress than Blogger.

    Wow, what an interesting concept. I have a couple questions and I hope you don’t mind answering them.

    I don’t have the same categories as WordPress, will it make a difference if I tag it instead of using categories?

    Also, for being listed under WordPress tags, is it only for WordPress hosted blogs, or all blogs through wordpress.

    Do you have a subscribe to comments button?

    Hi Sharon,

    You want to tag to existing WordPress categories to gain the quicker indexing and PageRank juice.

    I have yet to see a non wordress.com hosted blog listed in the tag.

    I don’t understand your question “Do you have a subscribe to comments button?”

    Is there a reason you don’t post here that often?

    I mean, you got to the first page of Google and then no posts for several months?

    Thanks for the insights though, I have a couple blogs that I have started that should really benefit from what you have shared here.

    Really smart move there, getting free backlinks from high PR links. I too know of an rather huge PR9 website, that will give backlinks to your site too. :)

    Certainly some food for thought here. I’ll have to take a look at my search engine marketing mix and see how I measure up.

    Thanks for an excellent article!

    I think this is a great post – but I had a question:

    There are some people saying that PR isn’t that important. Like, I know of many top internet marketers (of whom I am on the list) have said that there are actually pages indexed in google that appear higher in the SERPs that have lower PR.

    What does this mean? If this is correct, then where does PR come into play? Is it a means of getting higher Adsense dollars, or what?

    Something to think on, or maybe post in the future. Great post, though. And I’ll come back to continue reading!

    Very interesting, this is certainly something that I will investigate further. Whilst Page Rank may not be all that important, I take the view that every little bit helps.

    The whole PR issue is kind of thorny, and won’t go away anytime soon. As long as you have advertisers out there who think that internet ads are a magic bullet to increase traffic, they’ll be looking for some arbitrary stat that they can say is the one thing they need to consider when placing ads.

    There are no pageranks on http://wordpress.com/tag/… all are 0 from past 1 month

      You are right. I suspect it’s because of the new URL en.wordpress.com/tag/…

    Depends how you acquire those links, and if you acquire links too fast, Google may devalue them, especially if there is no trend.
