Is the Page Rank Based on Inbound Links Accurate?
by: Karianne Kline
Some business men are thinking that inbound links mean little to nothing. What is important for them is earnings, page views, and revenue. Everything else is not very important for them. How do you earn more from an online advertising campaign?
Does getting inbound links from a poor page do any good? Is it worth spending time to get it? The search engine optimizers’ answer is yes. The anchor text is really valuable and low page rank doesn’t mean that the source page is poor; the page does not follow an appropriate SEO campaign. A low PR can rank well and a link from it would be valuable too.
But the best solution is to have inbound links for important sites, which places you high on Google’s results list. Maybe it's wise to think further than page rank. The potential traffic of famous brands, for example, is very important too.
Some well known firms have a very low PR, but the traffic they are generating is worth getting it. There are sites that may even have a PR of 0, but the site content is related to your sites. Go ahead and link to these kinds of sites because relevancy is also very important.
The general idea is that every link is getting a better page rank; Google really loves links strategy. There is no single inbound link that can hurt a site; there are some links banned by Google.
They can make outbound links to you, but search engines understand that a website designer or webmaster can’t control every time this happens. The punishment isn’t applied every time when irregular links appear.
It is wise to verify as often as possible the outbound links source and eliminate the dangerous ones. If linking a bad site becomes a usual activity, search engines will penalize this fact.
Months, maybe even years of hard work from web designers, programmers, webmasters and search engine optimizers will be vanished. Any attempt to reach a high page rank will remain without a result.
There are some addresses where the punished webmasters can ask for forgiveness and have the right place in the results page again. It does not work every time. In principle, there is no penalty given to a site that links to a relevant page; but using the reciprocal links farm will get a website severely punished not only by Google, but also by the other popular search engines.
There are linking directories that you may join to link to other sites with relevant content or with a high page rank. Just be sure to check your backlinks to make sure they are linking back to you because Google does not favor those who have hundreds of links with no backlinks.
