Before page ranking system appeared webmasters were more preoccupied with on-site optimization. But page rank changed everything forcing people to focus on off-site optimization more. This shift was caused by understanding that page rank affects the search results position the site occupies and the traffic it gets. Thus, people started looking for techniques to improve Google page rank.

Page rank and traffic rank are not the same. Traffic rank is the position the site occupies on a certain search term. Page rank is a system invented by Google to attribute a certain importance level to each site: the higher the page rank is the more important the site is according to Google.

People treat page rank seriously because it is closely interconnected with the search engine placement. This means that the page rank is what distinguishes you among other sites with similar content and keywords. If people search information by some keywords and let’s say 10 sites have them as their keywords, the page rank is what will determine in which order these sites appear on the search results list. I bet you would like to be at the top of the list. That means you need to get a high page rank for you site.

There are a number of ways to increase page rank. First of all, you need to understand the mechanism of page ranking. There is nothing complicated about it, it is a mere indexing system similar to library index. Its main purpose is to make it easier for internet users to find most relevant information. Thus, the importance of the site is closely connected with the relevance of information presented at this site. The more informative, detailed and relevant the material of your site is the more chances it has to be crawled by Google among the first ones.

The most effective way to increase the importance of your site is exchanging links with other important sites. When high page rank sites link to your site Google perceives your site as important too. There are different ways to get such links: you can pay for them or try to get them free of charge by placing ads of other important sites at your site etc. When you get more links from important sites, your page rank gets better. Consequently you get a better search position and more traffic to your site.

There are some main points you need to remember about link building. It is more profitable for your site when the links come from other important sites preferably with higher page rank. Random links are of no value. Thus, do not waste your time on different link farms and sites with low page rank. You should build links gradually and consistently. If you have a great number of links in one day this will trigger Google ‘security’ system which might result in a red flag for you.
