make money on the internet

This is continued from SEO Tips For Keyword Domination Lesson 4 for make money online review and other blogs.

In the last lesson, we learnt how to use Google in our keyword research process. We learnt that not only should we know how to choose the right keywords but also how to assess the competition, more specifically, the page that we are going up against.

LESSON 5 - PAGERANK AND KEYWORD DOMINATION

You’ll also notice that the website has a Google Page Rank of 5.

Note: Here’s a quick definition of Google Page Rank. Page Rank is Google’s way of giving a specific value to how popular a website is. It is based on the number of “votes” other websites cast for another website. A “vote” is simply when another website places a link on their website that is pointing to another website. Generally, the more “votes” or links you have pointing to your website, the higher your Page Rank (PR) will be. Page Rank is one of the many factors that Google takes into account when ranking websites.

In order to see your own Google Page Rank, as well as others, you must have the Google Toolbar installed on your computer. You can get that for free here: http://toolbar.google.com/

Moving on…

Seeing that the #1 ranked website for this keyword only has a Page Rank of 5 is pretty good news for us, because a Page Rank of 5 should be reasonable to obtain.

After you install the Google toolbar and browse through websites, you’ll notice that most websites online have between a 2 and 5 Page Rank. The extremely popular, high traffic websites tend to have Page Rank’s of 6 and 7. A select few will have Page Ranks of 8 and 9… and only a couple websites on the entire internet will have a Page Rank of 10. Those websites would be sites like google.com themselves. If a website has a Page Rank of 7 or higher, it would be best to not try to outrank them.

Remember, the ONLY way to increase our website’s Page Rank is by getting other websites to link to us.

Critical: Later, I’ll teach you the right way to get hundreds of links pointing to your website in a matter of several days… and I’ll go into more detail about Page Rank.
