page ranking blog

how to increase page rank for a blog?

First of all, page rank has to do with ranking high for a keyword. A keyword is basically a word or phrase that searchers type into search engine boxes.

A keyword is not the same as its synonym. Dog and canine will have different result pages showing up. However, “dog food”, “dog care”, “dog training” and so on – with the word dog present – will help you rank for the keyword “dog”. In a decade or so maybe.

To increase PR faster, target less competitive variations of your keyword, like “dog training guide”. The longer the variation (long-tail keyword), the better your chances of ranking as competition decreases.

You can tell the number of competitors for a keyword or its variation by searching for it within quotation marks (e.g. “keyword”). The result page will show the number of sites using it.

Once you have decided on your main keyword, it should be in the title and URL of your blog. It should be in your blog description and keyword tags. Related or secondary keywords should be in your keyword tags too.

Your content is very important.

The main keyword of every blog post should be in it’s title. It should be in the first and last paragraphs as well as in paragraphs in-between. You can use secondary keywords, of course, but at a density of not more than 5 keywords for every 100 words. This density applies to your entire page, including keywords that are not part of your post.

When using AdSense, publish posts one at a time so as not to confuse AdSense with varying keywords.

Use relevant keywords as alt tags for your images and avoid using content that search engine spiders can’t read. Just use HTML for the most part.

Post regularly, daily if possible, so as not to lose readers. Unless your content is really meaty, avoid long breaks.

Promote your blog by building quality one-way backlinks to it. Quality means that they come from relevant sites or blogs using your keywords as anchored texts. You can do this by submitting as many related articles as you can to article directories and in your signatures use keywords as anchored texts to point to your blog.

There are other ways you can build backlinks to your blog. Article marketing, however, is the best of free methods.

To rank high faster, settle for a less competitive keyword first. You will rank high for the main one in time.
