Question: <\/strong>I have a few sites and want to check how many backlinks they have.How to do it?and any advice to increase page rank of them?Thanks. \u201d \u2013 by \u201d Samuel<\/p>\n

Answer: <\/strong>When starting a link building campaign (or continuing one), you want to be able to check your progress and see if you are indeed building any backlinks to your site. You want to be able to see if any of the links are \u00e2\u20aconofollow\u00e2\u20aco, what anchor text is being used for the links, and what quality of site the links are on. Since I have gotten into link building, I have been steadily compiling a list of sites that allow you to check your backlinks. You may have heard of searching Google with \u00e2\u20acolink: yourwebsite.com.\u00e2\u20ac? While this does work, it discourages many new (and even some experienced) webmasters because Google doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t include all of the links they have listed to your site. Sometimes, they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t show any. Move beyond using this tool, and try out some of the websites below. Not all of these sites are created equal, and I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think any of them can give you a definite 100% list of the amount of links that you have online pointing back to your site. That being said, some are definitely better than others. I am going to give you a summary of each one. Try them all out, and find out which ones work best for your needs, and for your specific sites. WARNING: Do not use all of the sites listed. This will be a waste of your time that could be used for building links. Instead, find the few that work best for your site, and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t compare the stats between the sites. Instead, start a spreadsheet and weekly check and log the amount of backlinks listed on each of the resources, and compare the number to the amount listed on the SAME resource a week ago. That will give you a much better idea of your progress. SEO Pro\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Link Checker\u00e2\u20ac\u201cMy Recommendation! http:\/\/seopro.com.au\/free-seo-tools\/link-checker\/ This is a very fantastic backlink checking service. Although it takes a little while (not too long) to populate the list of URL\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, this is one of the few tools in this whole list that actually shows the true pagerank of the pages your URL is on. It also tell you how many links are on that page, whether or not the link uses \u00e2\u20aconofollow\u00e2\u20ac?, the anchor text for the link. You also have the ability to check the number of backlinks for all of the pages on your site, or just the top domain. If you are going to just use one backlink checker, then use this one!<\/p>\n

Question: <\/strong>I am trying to operate a new news blog, which means each day I post a news story, but while my site has finally shown up in Google search (not the others), whenever I update my site with a new story, it does NOT show up. I have google webmaster tools AND analytics. I have submitted my site map and I have SEO set (using an SEO plugin) on all the articles. What gives!? \u201d \u2013 by \u201d Christian101<\/p>\n

Answer: <\/strong>It takes time to get the respect of longer established sites even if you match them in other ranking factors, they probably don\u2019t spider your site as often as the bigger players, pinging a new page helps it to be picked up sooner, if your using wordpress your are probably getting automatic pingomatic pings every time you save, check your settings. Original content, not copy and paste news will earn higher ranking as well.<\/p>\n

Question: <\/strong>I am building a website which deals with a fairly popular subject. When I search for the keywords that I expect my visitors to use, I see 100s of thousands of results. I am using google webmaster tools and other methods to make my site visible to the search engines but I assume everybody does that. What\u2019s the best way to stand out? \u201d \u2013 by \u201d Alex K<\/p>\n

Answer: <\/strong>Search engines are how most people find the sites they visit. If you are not on the first page of search results then for most of the Internet users, you simply don\u2019t exist! They go to Google or Yahoo! or one of the other major search engines and type in words or phrases which describe what they\u2019re interested in. You can get the idea of how popular this way is when somebody says \u201cdon\u2019t you get it?\u2026just Google it\u201d. Thus to attain a high ranking on search engine return pages (SERP\u2019s) becomes the obvious means to improve targeted traffic. This can be achieved by Search Engine Optimization of your website. Search engine optimization or SEO is the process of making website easy to find on the search engines for its targeted and relevant keywords (key phrases). This is achieved by introducing both on-page as well as off-page SEO factors. \u201cOn page\u201d refers to items internal to your site like SEO friendly Web design, Meta descriptions, keyword density and internal linking where off-page refers to link building, link popularity and social media efforts. Due to the ease with which on-page components can be manipulated by webmasters, major SE\u2019s like Google now place more weight on a link building element under a page-rank (PR) algorithm for ranking the websites. Here comes the essential of SEO submission service. In SEO, link building or link popularity is generally meant to getting large number of backlinks to your site whether one-way or reciprocal from other high PR sites in the same niche amongst which the most beneficial is having one-way links. One-way link building is a legitimate process that involves submissions to niche directories and social bookmarking sites. Submission service by an efficient SEO Company is a long term and permanent answer to your traffic woes. Hope this helps. -Michael<\/p>\n

Answer: <\/strong>It\u2019s true that 90% of clicks occur on page 1, but it\u2019s still useful to track the ranking process in an SEO campaign. You could use either the free rankchecker for firefox http:\/\/tools.seobook.com\/firefox\/rank-checker\/ or the rankcheker in the free evaluation version of SEO Powersuite http:\/\/www.link-assistant.com\/rank-tracker\/ to generate a search ranking report for the list of keywords, the latter has some other analysis functions. These tools look through the first 10 pages of results, doing many keywords at once can get a Google timeout, switching IP or captcha entry can revive it. The same target keyword list you should be consulting when creating content can be loaded into the rank checker.<\/p>\n

How Does SEO PR Help?<\/h3>\n

Question: <\/strong>My site already ranked pr1 on google,how do i know the keywords or words that ranked on google? \u201d \u2013 by \u201d rafiu k<\/p>\n

Answer: <\/strong>The page rank and keyword search result ranking are really to separate systems, they do use some but not all of the same criteria for ranking. You can examine your server log files to find what keyword searches are actually bring in people, other tools like Google Analytics or the simpler Statcounter can also report the keyword visits. Typically a webmaster will research the keywords to be targeted in the site content and check the search results for those keywords, one site could rank for thousands of search phrases, some are too rare or unprofitable to bother with. As the terms like page rank suggest, each individual page may rank for different keywords. Ideally searches send people to the inner pages as well as the home page. You could use for example either the free rankchecker for firefox http:\/\/tools.seobook.com\/firefox\/rank-checker\/ or the rankcheker in the free evaluation version of SEO Powersuit http:\/\/www.link-assistant.com\/rank-tracker\/ to generate a search ranking report for the list of keywords, the latter has some other analysis functions. These make a bunch of search calls and can trigger robot alarms, you could be asked to enter capcha codes, it\u2019s best to not go craze with big keyword lists and to slow the speed option.<\/p>\n

Answer: <\/strong>Directory listing are not a terribly important part of the big picture, search engine ranking is a much more significant factor. You can learn a bit about directories and search engines with a backlink checking service, they don\u2019t scour every page of the internet for links, but give a fair report of links on more significant sites. You may see some directory links show up in these reports, and the combined effect of the backlinks are a huge search engine ranking factor. OpenSiteExplorer.org and backlinkWatch.com are a couple of these services, if you register with the Blekko.com search engines you can also get an SEO report of all of the statistics the search engine has collected on the site, unlike Google which doesn\u2019t reveal it\u2019s hand. The backlink report can\u2019t be exported neatly to a spreadsheet but the free information is not limited like in many of the other tools. Blekko reports that Amazon has: 18,692,069 pages and 102,677,870 inbound links. You can view the first 2,500 individual backlink details. You can examine the log files of your own site or insert code to enable an added on tool to give detailed visitor data, Google analytics provides more data than most people can use, Statcounter.com gives a fair amount of details as well. The traffic data for sites you don\u2019t control can\u2019t be obtained, although some tools rely on a small sampling of internet users to estimate traffic for large sites. You can see graphs showing traffic over time at sites like: quantcast.com, compete.com, alexa.com ranking.com<\/p>\n

Question: <\/strong>How do some companies get peoples websites to the top of googles ranking system? Do they hack into google? \u201d \u2013 by \u201d Julian<\/p>\n

Answer: <\/strong>Hi Julian, No, they do not hack into Google. You can get to the top of a Google listing two ways: 1. You can pay for it. Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is paying for the listings at the top of the Google search for a certain search term. Those are the listings you see in the slightly yellow box at the top of a search. 2. The second way, and more difficult way, is through Search Engine Optimization, or SEO. You can read more about SEO here: http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Search_engine_optimization. Generally, SEO consists of three strategies: 1. Keyword optimization\u2013there are tools on the web that allow you to research which keywords are the most popular and how competitive each keyword is. Then, you optimize your web page using these terms so that Google recognizes that\u2019s what your page is about. 2. Page architecture\u2013having a sensible and clear path to get to each web page helps Google\u2019s bots follow a logical avenue to each page on your site. Additionally, the way you structure a page can allow you more opportunities to include those keywords you\u2019ve decided to target. 3. Links\u2013the more sites on the Internet that link to your page, the better. If a ton of people like your Web site, Google recognizes that and gives you a higher ranking in the search results. All three of these things relate to site traffic, which is a huge component of your search ranking. The more traffic you get, the higher in the rankings you\u2019ll be.<\/p>\n
