Name, Rank… Page Rank that is
This morning I took a peek at some of the blogs I’ve installed and the websites I’ve worked on. I wanted to see what people have done with them. Something that really surprised me was that even though some of the sites have been up a long time, they didn’t rank very well in Google.
I have the installed so it tells me the page rank of the page I am on. Now, don’t get me wrong, page rank isn’t everything, and it has it’s flaws. It can even be… gulp! WRONG!
But it is an indicator of how well your page is doing. And as for linkbacks, you want your site listed on a page with a rank of 3/10 or better. So, page rank is important.
So when I see a page that’s been up for a year and has no page rank, my first thought is to check if it’s even being indexed. You can check your page now by typing into Google and you will see all the pages that have been indexed. If you have the Google toolbar installed, you can click on the arrow next to the PageRank button and click on to see when the last time the spiders have come by.
If your page isn’t being ranked, one of the first things you should do is check your Meta Header area of your pages. Do you have title tags that contain keywords? Do you have a good description of what the page is about. You can read more about the Meta Header .
Once those are in, then make sure Google knows about your site. Google explains it .
