Google page rank distribution and linking structure

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Search engine optimization

After long time I am writing article to be post here, earlier I have promised to write article regarding to PR passing and where to use ‘rel’ attribute. Before starting I will emphasize on do-follow and no-follow attribute. Do-follow attributes stat that crawlers can follow the link and can pass the link juice to pointing page. The link which is having do-follow attribute will get all the benefits of link juice in SEO optimization. No-follow attribute is totally opposite to it, which will stop crawler to pass benefit of link juice.

Internal linking and PR pass

Page rank (PR) distribution and link juice passingAfter experiencing many page rank updates by Google and reviewing many article on leading SEO blogger and SEO service provider, I have conclude you should try to keep minimum outgoing link from your page. Must be thinking why? Let me explain, If your home page having PR5 and there are 10 out going link to internal pages and 2 outgoing link to other sites, than PR will be distributed in all 12 sites. Just imagine if you site having more than 100 dynamic pages, news pages and other pages which are not of your interest to optimize for ranking. And what if your home page having outgoing links to those non important page (here non important means SEO important), your home page pr will be passing to all those pages as well as important pages.

Now if you put no-follow attributes to those non-important pages than? Obviously you will get more benefits to your important pages. My suggestion is to give do-follow tag only those pages which are important for you as Search engine optimization point of view. Put each and every outgoing links by considering this point in you mind. So, linking structure of the website is plays very important role as visitors and crawlers point of view.

This is totally bases on my experience with all sites on which I am working, still suggestion are always welcome from readers point of view. I would like to discuss on this topic with expert. Feel free to post comment of email me here info(@)eltalearning.com

Linking structure that will help to gain high Google PR

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Search engine optimization

I have already discussed about Google page rank updates and it’s significant in search engine optimization here in Google PR updates article. Here I will share very effective linking technique that will help you to understand the following topics related to Google page rank and Search engine optimization.

  • Best internal linking structure for any website
  • How to use no-follow, do-follow attributes
  • How to make linking structure that best suited for crawler and helps to get maximum benefits of Google PR passing.

Internal and external linking structure plays an important role in search engine optimization. That is the base for any website in navigation and web crawler compatibility. By reading above topic you must be thinking what is new in that? But if you implement those techniques effectively, I am sure all the pages of your website will get maximum benefit in Search engine optimization.

How to create best internal linking structure for any website?

All people having their own techniques, I have observed that many experienced SEO are not taking internal linking seriously. But it is very important part of onsite optimization.

We can define best internal linking structure as…. The linking structure which help crawlers and visitors to visit your whole site with minimum time span without any hurdles. Before starting internal linking, create one tree structure which contains all important pages of your website. Here is one example…

Let’s say your site having 3 categories called…

  • web design - A
  • web development - B
  • search engine optimization - C
Internal linking and onsite seo optimization

Here each category will further divide into different posts or pages

Category A : Web design can be categorized into graphics design (post 1), logo design (post 2), web 2.0 design (post 3)

Category B: Web development can be categorized into php web development, asp.net development, jsp and servlet web development respectively into different posts.

Category C: Search engine optimization can be categorized into onsite optimization, off site optimization, Link building services respectively in to different posts.

Kindly observe the linking structure given in this image; here all pages are interlinked by another page. Main benefit of this structure is, once crawler comes to your home page it will reach to all the pages by internal linking. This is best practice for any website developer and SEO to follow. Once need to take care of internal looping for linking that will increase crawler load time due to internal looping

This is how we should create search engine crawler friendly internal linking structure. I repeat, there is not fixing internal linking structure for any website, that may be varies according to number of pages and requirement. I will write next article regarding to do-follow and no-follow attribute and Google page rank passing. Keep visiting my blog for technology news and information.

Google PR update July 2008 and prediction for next PR updates

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Search engine optimization, Tech News

Page rank is one of the essential criteria for SEO to achieve better search engine ranking. There are various discussions going on at various leading forums and SEO blogs about current page rank update in July 2008. SEO expert always dream to increase page rank for the sites on which he/she is working. Google never announced official time for page rank updates but as per my experience I can say that, Google updates page rank usually every 3-4 months. Each updates bring some new hope and prediction for next coming PR updates. It is very difficult to predict the PR; SEO should have following characteristic to predict more precise page rank for websites on which he is working

  •  Sound knowledge of PR calculation formula
  •  Sound knowledge of linking structure of website
  • Sound knowledge of thematic link building techniques
  •  Good analytic and strategic knowledge of SEO
  •  Sound experience in SEO industry

This is not everything about SEO but there are many more points that affect a lot. Based on page rank updates in July-2008, I have predict some points which will help to get better page rank in next PR updates predicted in October or November 2008.

  • Only thematic links will work
  • If you are long race horse, never go for mass link building
  • Links from relevant content is more helpful
  • Of course PR matters of link page from which you are getting back link
  • Its easy to get pr3 – pr4 but its very hard to get pr5 and more
  • Link baiting will be more helpful

I know that PR is not more important from SERPs point of view but still it is important for website authority and valuation. Never discourage by PR updates as there is always change to improvement. If we did not get good PR, we should create better strategy from the first day and start working on it. I would like to write one though here “Everything will be ok in the end, If it is not ok then it is not the end”. I would like to congratulate webmasters who got good page rank. All the best to those who are not satisfied with the page rank, Hope you will get better page rank in next PR updates.

Search Engine Friendly web pages And SEO technology

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Search engine optimization

All webmaster desire to build a website that attracts more visitors. A major source of traffic for websites on the internet is search engines like Google, Yahoo, AltaVista, MSN and other Open directory like DMOZ. Hence, by developing and designing search engine friendly sites, your website will be able to get better search engine rankings and obtain more visitors online.

Web crawler or robots is the program used by major search engine to index pages of websites in their data center. They follow links to web pages and check the relevancy based on their algorithms. They read the content of web pages and record it in their database. When people search for any particular query, they list most relevant web pages in its natural SERPs.

If you want to increase natural search engine rankings, your site must be search engine friendly. To make your website indexed easily, you should not use frames that will confuse search engine robots. Crawlers might even abandon your site due to it. Do not use flash or images to represent important information about your website or products. Search engine crawlers can only read text format on your web pages, if you include your important information in flash that will not be indexed by search engines. As a result you can not achieve rankings for those keywords which are very important for you.

Try to minimize the size of your templates as much as you can, that will help web crawlers to minimize the time to access the pages. When any robots visit your websites it stays for only fraction of time to crawl content. It indexes only that content which is accessed within time. So, it is beneficial to crate small site which can fully indexed by search engines.

SEO technology environment and SEO techniques

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Search engine optimization

SEO technology environment is totally depends on search engine algorithms of leading search engines like Google, Yahoo and Msn. Search engines continuously observe some minor but strategic parameters before giving better search rankings at natural SERPs. Numbers of visitor visiting your website, number of quality back links and best SEO technology environment will help you to get better SEO ranking for your website.

Search engine crawlers thus award laurels to websites who prefer all suitable SEO technology and Search engine friendly environment, rather than just following traditional SEO techniques.  So, the relevant quality back links can hardly put your website in safe hands, rather the continuous SEO effort of external back links, content writing, and balanced internal link can reach you in a safer search engine environment. Never take SEO technology as just a hit and try. Rather simultaneous activities can improve your search engine position.

Basic SEO technology environment will provide you solid defense mechanism which is always on top if belligerent link building can reach you fast to the penalty box of the opponent, Basic SEO defense will also saves you from counter attacks. Thus your radiating SEO defense keeps your website at bay from discrepancies creeping into them in order to retain the painstakingly acquired status. The prowling crawlers are far too intelligent for us and keep on dancing from one time suited search engine algorithm to another for rewarding the most persevering webmasters.

The grandness of internal linking can become tapering, the hard earned external links might not fetch the real value at time. Meta tags may include some additional condition of cross checking. Your SEO optimization activities should make your web portal highly seasoned irrespective of the rotation of revolution of the earth. One should never go as a blind allay, always think as search engine algorithms point of view and give best to your visitors. Better SEO technology environment is beneficial to both, website owners and website visitors.

But you must take care of geographic location and geographic market while working on keyword research for any website.
