When is the Next Google PageRank Update 2012?

Everyone who is reading this post must heard about Google Page Rank (PR) and its importance in Search Engine Optimization. PageRank adds more value to a website to rank well in top Search Engines. Although there are many other ranking factors like back links, website age, domain popularity etc..., the Page Rank had even more weight-age which helps to rank for high targeted keywords.

The Pagerank ranges between 0 to 10 depending on the above said factors. A site with Zero PR is least important and the site with high PageRank i.e., PR 10 will have high importance in the eye of Google.

How to Rank High on Bing/MSN Search Engine? Improve Bing Ranking

Most of the Website Publishers/Owners target the big G (Google Search Engine) for their traffic and leave the rest of the top search engines like Yahoo and Bing (formerly MSN). Few months back, i tried to rank for a keyword that has a competition of almost 22,000,000 for my other website and to my surprise i ranked number 2 for that keyword in a couple of days. Isn't that interesting?



Well, let me explain! What i did was?

I registered a domain and posted few posts with rich content by including my keyword at few places where suited. I also used my targeted keyword in my website title. The trick i did here was just blog commenting (It's good to comment only on related niches). This was the best method to get quality back-links to any website along with traffic if your comment was innovative/interesting.

Note: You can also use blog comment software's like comment kahunna and comment sniper. But, i recommend manual blog commenting as you will have an opportunity to view those website first and comment related to the topic which gives you best results.

I have done this for about 3 months and left it aside. After that when i see in site explorer, it recorded almost 500 incoming links to my site (i commented on 10 sites/day). This has taken 30 minutes of my time per day. Now when i look in my Google Analytics, i was getting maximum visits from Bing for my targeted keyword. I should also mention that MSN/Bing Traffic is converting better than Google Search Traffic. Another great thing is that i have been stable on the top 2nd position for that particular keyword for the past 6 months doing nothing at all.

I did it as an experiment and it worked well for me. I recommend you to optimize your site for Bing Search Engine as it converts better than Google Traffic. Start blog comments and receive quality back links.

How to Speed Up Your Pen Drive for Faster Transfer Rate?

Follow the below steps to increase the transfer rate of your USB drive.
