How Easy and How Hard to Gain Page Rank for Your Blog

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

I can tell you how easy you can get page rank 1, 2, or 3 for your blog, at the same time you will know how hard to get page rank 4 and above.

I’m not high profile blogger and just blogging for more than one year, but my experience has been helped me to complete a survey for the journey of gaining page rank for all my blogs although I’m not very sure about how google page rank algorithm works.

Yes, no body can exactly know how google page rank algorithm works because google has never make known to public officially. But, we can predict how to gain page rank although it is not 100% percent the correct way!

Why Your Blog is Still Unranked after Several Times of Google Page Rank Update

I have about 10 blogs, several of blogger blogs (blogspot) and 6 domain blogs. Firstly, let me tell you why your blog is still unranked after several times of google page rank update. I have one private and secret blogger blog which has never get linked to any other blog or website because I don’t want to let people know about this blog. After several times of google page rank update, this blog is still show unranked instead of PR0. From here I can guess blog without any linking from other blog or website will never have page rank, your blog will be always showed page rank unranked.

How Easy Your Blog Can Get Page Rank 1, 2, or 3

I have several blogs with less than 10 linking from other blogs with page rank 1,2, or 3, so these blog have gained PR1 and PR2 after page rank is updated. That’s so easy to get PR1 or PR2, so don’t waste your money to buy domain name with PR1, 2, or 3 with high price. Be patience to wait for google page rank update, I believe that you can get PR1 easily without putting your hard work to build the link.

What about PR3 blog, how to gain PR3 for your blog, I’m not sure how many linking that you need if your blog want to gain PR3. Most probably more than 10 linking is better, the most important is that try to exchange your blog link with PR3 blog which relevant to your blog topic.

How Hard to Get Page Rank 4 and above.

Definitely very difficult if you have never putting effort to build your link! I read many blogs every day, I have checked their page rank for every blog that I read, I wonder how they can get PR4 and above.

I found that blogs with page rank 4 and over most probably received many reviews with link from other blogs. Of course these blogs get reviewed for free because they write good contents. CONTENT IS KING! If people love your content, they will link your blog or blog post automatically.

Some blogs create free and premium theme for people to download and then get the credit from people who use their free and premium theme. At the bottom of the free or premium theme, most of the times you can see the blog or website link from the original theme designer.

They are many other ways to gain page rank – buy link, buy review, comment dofollow blog, and etc. You heard it, right?

I’m just sharing about my experience of how to gain page rank for my blogs in this post. However, if you can share how to gain page rank for your blog, we are great to hear about it!

Correct me if I was wrong because I’m not super genius in gaining page rank for my blog! :)

Do Expired Domain Name Lose Page Rank

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Remember my previous post “Be chary of buying expired domain name with page rank” dated 2nd February 2008? You get it, right? I have promised that I will come back with you all about the latest update of page rank for kefim.com. Yes, at that time, the page rank of kefim.com is PR3, but its page rank is zero (0) now.

I believe that many of us will be very concern about the page rank of expired domain name after they bought, we will worry our page rank lose. Do you think expired domain name will lose page rank? Honestly, I’m not sure! But, after I done this survey, at least I know the page rank of expired domain name may be cannot preserve for so long.

For those who like to look for expired domain with page rank, be chary when you buy such domain name. I don’t want you to pay high amount to get domain name with high fake page rank, end up you get PR0 after google update the page rank.

Be Chary of Buying Expired Domain Name with Page Rank

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

There is one expired PR3 domain named kefim.com for sell and I have tried to check its page rank at DigPageRank.com, but I don’t know why it showed PR3 with orange color as per screenshoot below.

My blog, Blogging-Secret.com also gained PR3 but the screenshoot indicate PR3 with green color. This is first time I saw DigPageRank showed PR with orange color, does it means that this PR will become PR0 after the next round of Google update page rank?

I will keep following up on this domain name until the next round of google update page rank, I want to see what the exact PR after the page rank update for next round.

This survey is good for those people want to buy expired domain name with page rank.

What do you think of the orange color of page rank display for kefim.com?

Technorati introduce a score for each blog that measure the “authority” and this Technorati Authority is the number of blogs linking to a website in the last six months. The higher the number, the more Technorati Authority the blog has, you can read explains in Technorati blog.

If you are writing paid reviews for some blog advertising network companies like reviewme.com and sponsoredreviews.com, they are still using Technorati Authority to measure your blog ranking apart from Google page rank, RSS or others. For me, I just use Technorati Authority to check the blogs that linked to me only, then I will follow the link to read the linked post.

The Technorati Top 100 shows the most popular 100 blogs based on Technorati Authority. May be you haven’t know, some of the blogs have been banned from the Technorati Top 100 as below:
