Is Google Page Rank important?

Posted by admin | SEO Reseller | Friday 28 January 2011 6:45 am

The Google page rank is one of those things which your Search Engine Optimizers crave for. The real fact is that there is no real importance for page rank from SEO point of view. The real meaning of Page Rank is that it denotes everyone that how important your website is. Your website can get page rank if it has got enough useful content, if it is getting targeted traffic and most important lots of backlinks from other websites. It’s not that easy as you may find because the backlinks which you get from a website must also have a good page rank. So in short it’s a lengthy process.

Here we can compare the inbound links as votes and thus more the votes more you will get the page rank. You can view your websites or any other websites page rank just by installing the Google page rank toolbar. If installed in your browser it will show an extra bar where it will show your website rating between 1to10. More the rating means better your ranking. The more links you get from higher PageRank websites, the less links you have to garner in order to attain a higher PageRank.

There are many people who have written many books and conducted research on how to get your page rank and its importance. But as per my findings I think Page Rank is not of that great importance when it comes to Search Engine point of view. It’s good from a point of view and that’s if you have to sell your existing domain to someone else then a web page with higher page rank can get a better price. Apart from it there’s no real use of Google page rank in search engine optimization. The only thing worth knowing is that you should get inbound links from trusted websites that get lots of targeted traffic — this is the only thing that matter as far as your PageRank goes.

Earlier the page rank was given a lot of value by the search engine optimizers but nowadays a page rank is hardly taken into consideration. The website can be brought to the first search engine rankings for their keywords even if the PageRank of the website in 1. So don’t just run behind page rank concentrate on proper SEO and our website will be automatically listed.

How to create back up for your Word Press data?

Posted by admin | SEO Reseller | Monday 17 January 2011 6:41 am

The start of new-year must be very interesting for all you people but I would like to give all the Word Press users an important advice. There has been a lot of problems with Word Press users that incase of crash of the application the whole content of your website is lost as there is no proper back up for these things. So this New Year I want all the Word Press users make sure that they don’t lose any of their data.

The first thing you need to do is to create the back up of your database from the date where you have published/posted the most important contents or documents. So you might be thinking how to create a solution for this as word press doesn’t have this feature inbuilt with it.

So now all u people are lucky as there is a word press plugin for these as a solution for solving this problem. The name of the plugin is the WordPress Database Backup Plugin. You can download this plugin using this link. In this you can tell the word press when to back up and to back up from where to where and what all things to be done.

There are two other folders you want to backup. The first is your theme folder to make sure you have a backup copy of any customizations you may have made. The second is your uploads directory so that, if you need to change hosts or if things get deleted, you have copies of all the images. This way, your blog doesn’t have a bunch of broken files.

You need to be able to automate an FTP job. If you’re a skilled programmer, there are lots of ways to skin this cat. If your programming lacks some mojo, there are options: for Windows, use Syncback SE; for Mac, use AASync. Set up a scheduled job (one for each folder) and create a copy on your hard drive. I like to use my file server instead of my desktop so I don’t have to worry about leaving it on.

Lastly, to bring things full circle, if you have lots of data or critical data, it’s important to have an offsite backup. I move all of my files to my file server every night. I have Carbonite running on that server so everything has an offsite backup. Lastly, just to make sure things are functioning, set a once a moth reminder for yourself to check that your backups are running. Sometimes things break and the time to know about it is before the crisis. A once-a-month check is easy enough to do and give you a lot more peace of mind.

Open source XML sitemap generator tool announced by Google. Google had built its own sitemap generator with more controls and its search engine friendly. It performs the same thing as the some other software’s do that are available in the market, the only difference is that it’s free and Google has developed it.

How to create a Google Site Map

Posted by admin | White Label SEM | Thursday 23 April 2009 11:22 pm
Officially announced on June 6th, 2005 at Google’e Blog, Google Site Map allows you to submit a listing of all your urls for Google to crawl.
There have been many questions concerning the procedure of creating a Google Site Map. Below is the non-Python way of creating one. (Note: Google has further documentation at their site)
 
First, create a file named sitemap.xml
 
Use the following code in any HTML editor:
 
create-a-google-site-map
 
Here’s a breakdown of those properties:
lastmod -
This is the date the document was last modified and uses the following formats:

dd.mm.yyyy

dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm

dd/mm/yyyy

dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm

 
changefreq -
Tells Google Sitemaps the frequently that content of a particular URL will change.
Your options are “always”, “hourly”, “daily”, “weekly”, “monthly”, “yearly” or “never”.
The value “always” should be used to describe documents that change each time they are accessed. The value “never” should be used to describe archived URLs.
 
priority -
The priority of a particular URL relative to other pages on your site.
You may select between 0.0 and 1.0, where 0.0 identifies the lowest priority page(s) on your website and 1.0 identifies the highest priority page(s) on your website.
Add as many pages as there are in your website.
Google Sitemap supports up to 50,000 pages per XML file.
Once you’ve completed all of those steps, you’ll need to submit your site map page.
