PageRank (PR), Some Online Terms And Definitions

In the end, PageRank will help your position in the SERPs.... "Then how's it not important?", you ask. It's important, but it should happen naturally. That's my point.

PageRank is volatile and changes just like all of Google Algorithms.

Google is in a continuous state of change so if you are obsessed with figuring something out, by the time you do, it's no longer a valid conclusion.

So how can you make it happen naturally?

•    Create good content and people will link to you without you even asking!

•    You can seek out exchange partners.


 If you do, make sure their website compliments your sites theme. 

Google has a love affair with relevancy.

The more relevant a site is to your site, the better.

•    Many have concluded that a sites PR will rub off on you. So if you link to a PR5 site, that will help, But only a little bit.

 I think it's something like .00001 % of that PR that rubs off. It's very minor.

•    There are other factors involved in calculating PageRank that no one knows except Google.

But willing to bet, that much of it is do to the quality of the websites linking to you.

It's not how many sites that link to you, it's the quality and relevancy that matters.

•    Bad sites linking to you will not hurt you.

 Many people have the impression that they should only get inbound links for PR5 or better sites.

 This is hog wash.

These will help you, but the lesser sites won't hurt you. If that were the case, your competition would link to you from 100s of crappy sites to bring your PR down.

Some Common Terms and Definitions:

PR4 - Google ranks pages by how many inbound links you're getting. PR stands for PageRank.

PageRank has a scale from 1-10... PR4 is pretty good. (PageRank Explained)

Anchor Text - Use the link above as an example... PageRank Explained is anchor text.

The link itself is hidden. It's just the text that you see on the page that links somewhere else if you click it.

Meta Tags - This is code embedded in a web page that tells the visiting Search Engines stuff about the page (title, description, keywords)


Keyword Density - All that's referring to is how many times certain words and phrases occur on a page.

Fresh Content - This is updating or changing text regularly on a Web Page.

BLs - Back Links - These are links that are coming from other websites to your website.
Static - Nothing changes on that page (no fresh content ever)

JVs - Joint Ventures - 2 or more people get together to help each other promote and make money.

Pay Per Click Advertising - It's advertising you will see in your search results from Search Engines such as Google, Yahoo Advertising, Bidvertizer, etc.

 They call them Sponsored Links. When people click on those ads, the advertiser is charged a few sense or dollars.

Spider Bots - It's a program that visits websites to find content and index that content into the Search Engine's Results pages.

SEs - Search Engines

Nibble On - Giving the Search Engines a little fresh content to index and keep them coming back hopefully.

I may have more thoughts to come about this topic. But I had these on my mind this morning.

Sometimes I have to empty my mind to make room for new ideas.... hehe... More Terms Here.

Have a Productive Day!!
