Linkbaiting is about gaining reputation, finding your niche, writing useful and creative content, presenting your ideas, publishing them on the Web and finding people who might actually use them. You won’t find your readers if you concentrate on building links; you will be able to build links organically if you concentrate on your readers. Moreover, you can gain reputation if and only if you focus on your readers. This is one of the basic principles of successful blogging.

PageRank Tools

Google PageRank is very much like the size of a man's you-know-what. Everyone thinks it's important, no one admits it's important (unless they have a huge one) and everyone is interested in the size of everyone else's.

In researching website optimization, I came across PageRank size for the first time and was amazed about how many people obsessed about it. Obviously everyone wants a larger one and there are various methods of increasing it - some proven, some painful, and some downright silly.

But let me explain what PageRank is first.PageRank is one of the many factors Google takes into account when it returns the results for a search term. It is, in effect, Google's evaluation of how important a site is. The main element in this is the number of sites linking to your site and their PageRank size. This can be viewed as a popularity contest with the sites with the bigger PageRanks getting bigger votes (ain't that always the way).

The upshot of this is that sites with, a small PageRank cannot get close to the top of the results when popular keywords are searched upon, and have to rely on more specific keywords to get traffic from search engines.

PageRank is measured from 0-10. Sites can be out into three categories: PageRank 0-2 - New websites that are just starting out. Websites that have come to terms with the size of their PageRank and have given up trying to increase it (but secretly hope it'll still grow over time). Bad boys who have broken the rules.

PageRank 3-6 - Established websites that have proven they can perform. Niche websites that have a big enough PageRank to do what they need it to do.

PageRank 7-10 - Some of these guys' PageRank is so big it'll knock you over if they turn too quickly. In order to compete with this PageRank, one needs to develop other techniques to establish your own area of specialist expertise.

In order to not get their PageRank laughed at, webmasters are constantly looking to increase it. Here are a few ways to stretch that PageRank.

Increase the Size of Your Site - By increasing the number of pages on the site, it increases the amount of PageRank the webmaster can play with. If those pages point internally then it can increase the PageRank of those pages for instance. However, you should be careful that you don't create pages with no real value or content, as one can be punished for that.

Exposure - Advertising your website is a core piece of your strategy. However, to really increase that PageRank, you need incoming, permanent, links not occasional pay-per-click ads or banners that can change day-to-day or week-to-week. Ways to do this include, writing high quality articles that get published on a number of sites , being active in forams associated with the subject of your website, and forming a group in one or more of the social websites. But beware! Over-exposure can be detrimental to your PageRank too, if you are deemed to be spamming.

There are also a number of things you should avoid that may shrink your PageRank. Getting caught with your pants down - Anything that Google prohibits (and there is a lot) can adversely affect your PageRank if they catch you in the act. So keep your nose clean and make sure you understand the rules.
Gratuitous Linking - Simply exchanging links with other sites doesn't really have an effect on your PageRank (although it still might generate traffic) and using "link farms" can have a negative effect.

There is a small but vocal group that says you shouldn't worry about the size of it and just concentrate on providing good content for your visitors. This is the equivalent of "the size doesn't matter, it's what you do with it". The reality is that people visit your website because of what's on it, but they won't visit if they don't know it's there - so a balance is needed.
In summary, PageRank is a very important aspect but to obsess over it means you won't satisfy your visitors in other areas, which might be important to them. If it is that important to you, you need to get out and meet people!
If it's big enough to do the job, be happy.

PageRank Tools That Work


If your wondering how to Build or get Links, heres a guide to buying links
Loren Baker from Search Engine Journal wrote a great guide to buying links, directory listings, and paid reviews for blogs. Loren does a great job of breaking down all the different vendors that sell links, she writes about paid reviews, and directory listings. Loren also covers tips for purchasing links from these sources.

Here is what he had to say about Buy Links

Sell Ad Space

Monetize Your Site

$100 in FREE LinksText Link Ads is probably the most popular of the link ad companies, with over 10,000 publishers in their network and a lot of promotions and advertising on SEO and publisher industry blogs and sites. Link prices are based upon the authority of each site and charged per month.

ReviewMe is a more targeted approach to paid blogger reviews. Advertisers are given access to ReviewMe’s lists of niche publishers, and can request reviews on specific blogs (and only those blogs),That's very valuble and works great for your PR. instead of using the mass review approach. The end result is more thoughtful content and reviews of your products, for a higher price. Pricing is set per blog and based upon that blog’s popularity, readership and incoming links.So it Will fluckuate.


Hear's a great way to find valuable links using Google. Buying text links is a common thing that many companies are doing to raise theire traffic and search engine rankings. Most people buy text links based on if they feel a website has a high Google PageRank. This could work, but if you are trying to increase your rankings for a specific term why not buy the most relevant link based on what Google thinks?

Say you want to get ranked for the keyword "web hosting". Do a Google search for the term and look for all the websites that rank in the top 100.

Many of these sites will be your competition and you are going to be fighting them for traffic, but there are going to be a ton of sites that are not your competitors.

If you wanted to rank high for a term, what could be a more relevant link then from a web page that already ranks well for that term? You don't need the link on every page of that site; you just need it on the page that ranks well for the terms you want your site to rank for. Although this may seem like common sense, there are a lot of people who ignore this little trick.It works and works well.Artical courtesy of
