9 things you could do to screw up your Page Rank

pagerank-increase

And it’s a guarantee. You have three months time (assumption), implement these and get ready to shed those green points.

(Caution: This is for the adventurous at heart, and the steps suggested are “implement-able” at your own risk.)

  1. Copy paste content from other blogs and websites.
    Edit words like is, was and the, with suitable replacements and re publish the “refurbished” contents.
  2. Buy links from text link brokers. Not many, a few will do.
  3. Go to a public forum and advertise for “link spots” available on your blog.
  4. Place a “links available for sale” note on your blog.
  5. Buy a directory submission service from Digital Point
    Get 1000 link submissions for $10.
  6. Add the text-link-ads widget on your blog.
  7. Make all the outbound links on your blog “nofollow”
  8. Sell the Russian guy a few ad spots on your blog.
  9. Write reviews on Text link ads and TNX, if un successful, try again.

Any experienced guys out there, please share your thoughts and add in your valuable points. Please mask your identity while doing so.

  • SEO Tips Day 8 – Will linking to other sites, reduce your Page Rank ?
    Google PageRank is calculated by the number of internal links to your site and Google has repeatedly stated that the number of outgoing links from your site have no direct implications on your PageRank.

    I don’t do any of these ‘things’.But in the latest update, my PR decreased from 3 to 2…why is that so?

    “Write reviews on Text link ads and TNX” – really? What if it’s a negative review asking people not to use them, maybe my PR will increase lol (kidding)

    Reply

  3. Mani KarthikNo Gravatar

    Yeah Gobala, wish if that was the case lol. But yea reviews on TNX and TLA are risky, although technically we may be right nofollowing all the links etc, that is a good sign to google that you are inclined to it may be. It’s not in the records however.

    Reply

  4. Gobala KrishnanNo Gravatar

    It can’t be something that happens automatically right, I’m assuming it’s only the case of manual intervention, and only if you’re too much into promoting paid links etc. But a single review or two won’t hurt?

  5. RajeshNo Gravatar

    I can still show you some blogs with PR5 though they use TLA…not sure whether google is blind to those blogs or they have made those areas invisible to google :)

    Reply

    Mani KarthikNo Gravatar Replied:

    Shall we call them “exceptions” ? I don’t want to take any clues from them. I’m sure a normal blog which is not yet an authority is at risk using TLA. Discount the exceptions.

    hhmm, you are right ManiKarthik. Why I didn’t read this post earlier?
    I think, I lost Pagerank because I made outbound links as nofollow. I have stopped doing that now.
    What should I do now? Will I get PR back in future?

    I do none of the above on any of my sites.
