The weeks ahead, I’ll be following a series of tips on increasing the page rank for your blogs. Here is the first one.

Yea, I agree Page Rank is not considered important these days in SEO, and it only will help you probably in selling off your site. (Beginner’s tip - Having a higher Page Rank will not help you in anyway to rank higher than your competitor on Google search results.) Yet, there are lot of bloggers who take pride in showing off their Google PR to their visitors. They can’t be blamed. After all, Google Page rank does give you some kind of authority, and it’s glorifying to see the green bar fill up for your site. Isn’t it? So if you are one of them, here is a tip for today.

How to increase your blogs page rank ?

Step 1

If you have a blog roll/ Sites I visit/ My friends list on your side panels, take a real good look at them.

Step 2

Count the number of links there. If you have lot of friends, probably you are linking to all of them. I’ve seen guys having like 40 plus outgoing links(links to other sites).

Step 3

See how many incoming links you have on Google and Google Blog search. (Worry not! Here’s how you do it) - Go to www.google.com and search with this query link:www.yourblog.com, It will show you the number of incoming links you have. - Go to http://blogsearch.google.com and search with the same query. It will return the number of blogs linking to you. Now, take a combine number of both this and note the number.

Step 4

Now compare the number of incoming links you have to the number of outgoing links(in the blogroll) by dividing using this formula. Link Juice = Number of incoming links/ Number of outgoing links

Step 5

If your link juice is less than 1, you are in a bad position. If your link juice is more than 1, you are okay. Actually if it is a higher number, the better. So if you have your "Link juice" less than 1, then cut down the number of outgoing links from your blogroll to make the ratio(Link Juice) more than 1. The whole idea is to keep your outgoing links number lower than your incoming links. While it’s alright to have outgoing links to relevant resources (like the Wikipedia) in your posts, posting links in your template (blogroll) can drastically reduce your link juice. So that’s the first step to increasing your page rank. Watch out for step 2.

UPDATE: Number of outgoing links will not determine your pagerank. This is an update form Google. Instead Google Page Rank depends on who links to you and their page rank.

    You aint got any link backs or anything there Moosa. There isnt a formula here you know, that which if you apply will give you ranks automatically.

  16. Hi Mani,
    I am realising the power of Stumble Upon by the Day.I neva thought there was some Indian Bloke churning out Seo tips too.
    Good one.i am hooked.
    I am however skeptical about having a blogroll.With whatso ever traffic i have,i fear linking might actually drive them away.

    And i have some incoming links to me in google blog search but nothin in google search.Why is that.I have been posting on ezines for quite sometime,and i use the social marketing tools also to good effect

    Hey Ankit, welcome and hope you like the blog. Well, the idea of not linking much fearing the draining away of traffic is actually “temporary” - I hope it is. Cos, when you write more articles and grow your blog, you’ll realize that it’s “loyal traffic” that matters. Search Engine/ Referral traffic is significant, and I agree that some part of it would be drained away through the links, but the internet is again a social community as never before and without interacting with others extensively, you become an island, and not matter how awesome your content is, people don’t links islands. So I’d suggest that you keep linking to “worthy resources” online, and your readers will appreciate it.

    As far as page rank is considered, if you have a normal blogroll with say 10-20 links, thats fine…page rank doesnt depend on how many people you link to but how many link to you.

    Hope it helped.
