How Your Network Affects Your PR Ratings... By: Martin Lemieux
It's been long overdue that I've been wanting to talk about how
owning a network of web sites, drastically affects your page
ranking within Google.
For some of you, you may closely watch what goes on with Page
Ranking Within Google with your trusty toolbar, and some of you
may not have a clue nor care enough to watch your web site
popularity and stay glued to you se ranking like a hawk.
If you've ever considered owning a successful network of web
sites, you'll want to start paying close attention as to how
your network affects your search positions.
Page Ranking is like an ocean "tide", it comes and goes and then
comes back again, feeding a never ending sea of web site owners
and keeping them on the shore to watch. What you want to notice
is how owning a few "title waves" coming in, will drastically
kill your page ranking but increase your search engine
saturation.
If you haven't heard the term saturation before, it's merely
referred to as the amount of links within your site that gets
listed by search engines. So if you have 20 pages within your
web site, you should have 20 pages listed in search engines.
If you don't have 20 pages listed, your search engine saturation
is lower than it should be and you should concentrate on
promoting ALL your pages, not just the main page of your site.
Personally owning a network of sites, and having worked on a
network of 180 sites for one client, I've come to the conclusion
that if you want to reach a 6/10 Google ranking, don't merely
rely on your network to get success. Like I mention in all my
articles, search engines are getting smarter and can detect and
sniff out a network of web sites created to help one thing,
profit.
What you want to do is like I mentioned in a previous article,
promote ALL your pages in as many web sites as you can. Find all
related material to what you do.
Please don't get me wrong, owning a network is in no way harmful
to have. The way a network will work successfully is by at least
having one of your web sites already successful and the rest are
tailing on it's success.
Trying to start an entire network from scratch is not only
ludicrous, it would take a really good chunk of someone's budget
just to make sure you would succeed in keeping up with the
demand.
All too many times, I see people promote their site for a month
or so, realize it's a lot of work and start neglecting it
completely. Never give up on your dream, you only have one
person to blame, yourself.
Start slow, start with one site. Expand it until you are ready
to move onto another on-going project. Always remember that by
starting another site within your network will not only bring
you more responsibilities but it will be your responsibility to
make sure this new web site is successful and that the old one
isn't forgotten either.
So in conclusion: Don't only rely on your network to bring your
page ranking up and always look for new sources to improve on
promoting all your pages.
Hope this helps all of you!
