How to Build PageRank in Google

Before I talk about what it is I've done to build PR on my sites, I'd like to mention that Google doesn't really tell you how to do this per say. There are things you can do and they are quite easy, but they take time and consistency. These are the things that I will talk about here.

For my site here, ReddingSEO.com I have paid very little attention to it after the first initial work in building it and submitting a few articles to a couple of article directories. Let's talk about this site first.

I had a very simple goal for this site. All I wanted to do was get it listed on the first page for two keyword terms:

Redding search engine optimization
Redding SEO

Redding SEO was listed on the first page instantly. That is probably due to the domain name, the title of the site, and the highly related content. In addition, I posted my site in Google's local business listings. So all of those things helped to get that search term listed high on the page.

The other search term was hard to rank on the first page. In fact, this search terms fluctuates between the 7th and 16th position. And the reason why is because I do not work at it.

You're thinking, "Chrisi, why?" Well, I'm really too busy to worry about it and I'm very busy so the reality is, I don't need to worry about it. However, it's also given me the opportunity's to make some comparisons.

Oh, wait, did I forget to mention that I have a listing on the first page at the very top sitting in the number one spot? It's true, go to Google and type in Redding search engine optimization. Now as of today, April 18, 2009, you'll find an article I wrote called, "A Profitable Internet Solution to Today's Economic Crunch" written by me, Christine Darrington. I prefer, Chrisi, but when I write articles I mostly include my full name. Anyway, that was very easy for me to get my link right there at the top.

A. Because I have an "expert author" status, I get my articles promoted easily.

B. The article was viewed about 53 times. Not much but enough.

Okay, now then, let's look at the page rank.
