How to Increase Your Pagerank on Google

Many people struggle to increase traffic to their website. In fact there are many factors that are involved in Search Engine Optimization besides the keywords that you use in your articles. After a little research on keyword optimization and after creating a few high value backlinks, you are well on your way to getting thousands of people visiting your website in the future.

So what are high quality backlinks, and what are the best sites to link to? The best sites to create backlinks or linkbacks to are websites that have a high alexa rating like hubpages, ezinearticles, and squidoo. Other sites with high alexa ratings are social bookmarking websites such as Digg and StumbleUpon.

When I first started promoting my website and articles, I found a really good website called Linkmommy that has an extremely impressive Alexa rating. The website is ranked 80,000 out of a billion websites which means that it can definitely help you to improve your Alexa rating if you setup a link on linkmommy that links to your article.

Ultimately, the ranking of the article will depend upon its quality. To make sure that your article is one of optimum quality, be sure that you have provided your audience with valuable information that is both informative and accurate. Make sure your grammar and formatting is optimal, and make make sure that your content is clear and concise so that its easy for your audience to understand.

Along with the information that you provide, it is also important to list sources that would help the reader to accomplish what they are trying to do. "If they are trying to clean up a wine stain on a white t-shirt" - tell them all of the techniques and procedures that they should use to clean the wine. Remember, its all about whats in it for me (WIIFM) which is the acronym that you should keep in mind when you write articles. The more you help your audience, the greater chance you have in having an article with a high pagerank on google.

Ensure that the keywords you use are all related, and ensure that your keywords are specific to what you are talking to.  You can optimize keywords by keeping your keyword density under 5%, once your keyword density exceeds 5%, google will dock your website so that it is harder to find.  If your website does get docked, try to fix the keywords as soon as possible to avoid having your website buried below thousands of websites where it has no chance of getting traffic.
