smart link building – list of dofollow sites to increase your pagerank

Although there are several factors google considers before ranking a webpage for a keyword as the no.1 , webmasters always consider the pagerank as the primary ones.But blogger noobs , unaware of the real meaning of link building ,just constantly submit their posts to dozens of social sites where the link is not at all considered during the page rank calculation.Thats because those sites give you only nofollow links and not dofollow links .

 

NOFOLLOW – links arent considered during your blog’s PR calculation

Let me give you some technical stuff regarding what is “nofollow” tags .

When you submit a post to social bookmarking sites , you get a link to your blog post.But the link is termed nofollow because when you see the html of the page where your blog post link is available you may see this :

<a href=”your blog post url” rel=”nofollow”> blog post title </a>

As you may see above , there is a sentence “rel=nofollow” which instructs the google bots to not consider this link during the calculation of page rank.hope its clear to you.

But dont worry if all these days you have been wasting your time in such social sites .You still havent lost anything.Lets start now doing effective link building.Here is a list of sites having “dofollow” tags ::

A complete list of social bookmarking sites offering nofollow and dofollow links are given in the above site .

NOTE : although submitting blog posts to nofollow social sites doesnt increase PR, it leads to fast indexing of your blog posts in search engines .

Internal Link Building is the one of the best ways to increase your pagerank

Its really hard for the beginners to know exactly what page rank is all about .There are several posts in this blog explaining about the pagerank concept.Or you may also do a search in wiki which is going to display you a webpage that will definitely tend you to hate seo .

So in this post i thought of explaining you about one of the major techniques of getting pageranks ---- "INTERNAL LINK BUILDING" .This is the easiest way to get pageranks as far as i know . Because there is no need for us to ask our fellow bloggers for link exchanges and then regularly check his blog if he has kept our blog link or not . This is a great headache . But as far as "internal link building" is concerned , its your webpages that are going to get you at the top of search engines .


GOOGLE PAGERANK :


Let us consider a website consisting of three pages A , B AND C , each having a pagerank of 1. [ shown below ] . Now iam going to increase the pageranks by using "INTERNAL LINK BUILDING TECHNIQUES" .Let me show you how :



CASE 1 :



In case 1 , pageA links to page B but page B is not linking to any other page .now these links are called as "dangling links " and are not of any use in building pageranks because the search engine neglects these links while calculating pr . so never ever try this sort of "internal link building" .

CASE 2:[ BEST WAY OF "INTERNAL LINK BUILDING TO ATTAIN HIGHER PAGE RANKS ]

This is the best way of linking the webpages of our blog or website .By this way each page will get equal and maximum page rank [ I have not explained the mathematics involved here but will probably do them in my upcoming posts ] .

CASE 3 :

This is another way of link building . Since only the page A has the link of page C and the page B does not contain the link of page C , the page rank gets reduced for page C but the pagerank remains good for pages A and B .This way of linking is much better than CASE 1 .

CASE 4 :
In case 4 , we could see that :

page A is pointed by page B and page C.

page B is pointed only by page A

page C is pointed only by page A.

Hence the page rank for A is higher compared to the other pages .Moreover the pages B and C get equal page ranks as they are pointed only by one link [ page A] .

And by the way here is the formula for calculating pagerank :

PR(A) = (1-d) + d (PR(T1)/C(T1) + … + PR(Tn)/C(Tn)) ;PR= PageRank ; d= dampening factor (~0.85) ; c = number of links on the page ; PR(T1)/C(T1) = PageRank of page 1 divided by the total number of links on page 1, (transferred PageRank) .

Google's PageRank Update and What Can We Do About It?

Google's PageRank Update and What Can We Do About It?

Google has recently updated the way it calculates PageRank. Because of this PR update many directories and content sites receiving deep penalties for brokering links, or having a large portion of their PR value derived from these types of programs.

I wanted to take a moment to share with you some interesting information I have found including what you can do if your site was negatively affected by this latest update.

In short, this latest update was designed to target the link selling industry. According to Google engineer Matt Cutts in an interview with WebProNews, "sites that sell links can lose their ability to pass PageRank."

The changes are not a huge surprise, but the ripple effect has had a major effect on an industry that some would argue Google helped create the linking economy. We know that purchasing links for the purpose of artificially inflating PageRank was against Google's Webmaster Guidelines. In this latest update you will find two major effects:
The first was the update to the PageRank algorithm that affected the link sellers. Essentially demoting these sites and negating their ability to pass PageRank.
The second wave happened several days later when Google updated PageRank for all the sites in their index. The new, lower PageRank values were used in this new calculation, and many sites that did not engage in link brokering were negatively affected.

Cutts says, "a lot of sites in the search and SEO space were a little more affected by this update than some other niches, just because maybe two or three hops upstream from a given site maybe that site isn't flowing page rank as much anymore." In fact, even the Open Directory Project (DMOZ.org) was lowered from a PR9 to a PR8
As they say, a rising tide lifts all ships. In this case, the effect was to essentially lower the water level. Most sites that experienced a one point drop in PageRank over the last couple weeks will not see a dramatic change in their search traffic from Google because the update will affect their competition about as much as themselves.

But no one wants to have a lower PageRank, so what can you do about it?
As with all updates, you can use the seo techniques to your advantage by responding before your competition does.

First, make sure your site is listed on the directories that Google has decided are still worth using. Not all directories were punished. In fact, some gained PR in this latest update.
Secondly, you should diversify your interests. As I often say, you should look at directory listings as the FIRST step in a linking program, but not the only step. Some directories are highly regarded, but in the end, they are all the same type of site. One thing that has become clear from this latest update is that Google is now looking at SEO-oriented sites as both a source of some great information on valuable websites, and also as a possible source of spam that they need to careful about.

That is why it is so important to work with the right database of directories

Reasons that cause Toolbar PR drop

Reasons that cause Toolbar PR drop

In between Toolbar PR updates

1. TB PR value is wacked.
2. Hand penalty. This can be a drop to TB PR0 or just a few units of the 1-10 scale.
3. You site was down for extend amount of time. Drop to TB PR0.
4. Ban. Drop to TB PR0.
5. Robots.txt file stops the Googlebot from accessing a file. File drops to TB PR0.

At Toolbar PR update time

1. Less RPR voted to your site:

1. IBL page removed from site.
2. Link dropped off page.
3. Link redirected though a script so there is no RPR transfered.
4. Page no longer spidered because of robots.txt or meta noindex,nofollow.
5. IBLs have increased their OBL.
6. Signature links, blog comments, site wide links, recriprocal links, triangle links devalued in the PR algo for the RPR they vote.
7. High TB PR IBL get penalty and no longer votes or passes RPR.

1. Some thing done wrong on your page.

1. Ban on the page.
2. Page no longer spidered because of robots.txt or meta noindex,nofollow.
3. You added more pages to your site. This diluates the RPR voted internally.
4. Increase in external OBLs which bleeds RPR off the site. (Yes off the site not just off a page.)
5. Change in the PR algo.
6. The number of pages in the index has increased.
7. Change in linking structure where RPR is channelled from one page to another by the way pages are linked together. This can be done on purpose or my accident.
8. Removing of internal links from pages that have external links. (Internal links on pages that have your most external links will change the about of PR voted off site.

Number of Pages - Will an Increase of Pages Give Your Site Higher PR?

Number of Pages - Will an Increase of Pages Give Your Site Higher PR?

As you add pages to your site, the RPR of the home page and the subpages will in most cases drop. While this sould not be an issue with most sites, the myth that adding pages to your site will increase the PR of the site pages needs to be disspelled.

For an example if you have 5 page site no matter if it is Fully Meshed, Hierarchically, or a combination of the two you will get the same average real PR. When you add a new 6th page that page will start with a real PR of 1. (This page would link to one of the pages in the site and have a link to it from one of the pages.)

If the average of the other pages is above 1, in all cases the average real PR will drop. When the average real PR drops for a group of pages that means that some if not all pages will end up with less real PR.

The following are a few diagrams and calculations to verify that this claim is true. Most small sites have a linking structure that is fully meshed. I have in this article put forth that adding more pages to your menu will dilute the real PR of the current pages. While some in the industry are willing to accept that, they seem to be saying that the real PR is dropping in this case because of poor linking structure.

The following examples use the two main linking structures, Fully Meshed, Hierarchically and combinations of the two. The following examples and calculations show that adding pages to your home page with 2 way links will dilute all the other pages real PR that have two way links to the home page.

In the following 4 samples you will see a small increase in the home page real PR but in the subpages you will see a drop of up to a factor of 10.

3 Page Site & The Real PageRank After 40 iterations

The first example is a 3 page site with page "x" having an inbound link to the home page "a" and the home page "a" with 2 way links to 2 subpages "b" and "c". Page "x" has a real PR of 1000 at the start of the first iteration and pages "a", "b" and "c" start out with 0. After 40 iterations the home page "a" has a real PR value of 3064 and the subpages have a real PR value of 1302.

The next example is a 4 page site with page "x" having an inbound link to the home page "a" and the home page "a" with 2 way links to 3 subpages "b", "c" and "d". Page "x" has a real PR of 1000 at the start of the first iteration and pages "a", "b", "c" and "d" start out with 0. After 40 iterations the home page "a" has a real PR value of 3064 and the subpages have a real PR value of 869.

Adding Pages To SubPage By Two Way Links

Here is 4 more diagrams and with a bit of code to show the iterations and a link to the code that produces those iterations so you make I am doing my calculations right. At this point I am now looking to see if I can find any configuration that will let you add 2 Way or Meshed Linked pages with out a loss of real PR to the home page and/or subpages. (I changed the code to work out the iterations for this group to PHP.)

4 Page Site Before Adding 2 Way Links to Subpage

See links that shows iternations and the source.

4 Page Site With 1 - 2 Way Link On Subpage

See links that shows iternations and the source.

4 Page Site With 2 - 2 Way Links On Subpage

See links that shows iternations and the source.

4 Page Site With 3 - 2 Way Links On Subpage

See links that shows iternations and the source.

What Do These Diagrams Show Us?

Well I think it is pretty clear when you add pages via a two way link to the home page of a website that the real PR of the other subpage will drop.

lso when you fully mesh a page into a site that has a fully meshed link structure the real PR of all pages goes now.

Check My Numbers On Phil Cravens PR Calculator<

If you would like to check out my calculations you can drop over to Phil Cravens site and take his Google RageRank Calculator for a spin.

At first when I ran two ways links to the home page on Cravens RP Calculator I didn't believe the numbers when the home page when up slowly with each 2 way link that was added (the other subs dropped for course). So I set out and did up the formulas my self and get the very same number.

Try Finding A Linking Structure That Doesn't Bleed PR

When you try out differnet linking structures make sure you have the home page an inbound PR of around 1000. The calculations of sites where they are only dealing with there own real PR of 1 don't produce the same numbers. You should also turn the Mode Selector to Real Mode that that the calculation will not pick up one way links or orphans. The Simple Mode will include them into the calculations but as Google drops them you don't want to be looking at calculations that won't happen.

Again when you add pages with at least a 2 way link (one way links are orphans) to a site that has a high PR home page it really doesn't matter where you place them you are aways going to decrease the real PR of some of the pages on the site. Even if you select one page of the sub pages and hang 2 way links of it. It will still decrease the real PR on the home page.

The only combination that I have been able to find that doesn't decrease the real PR on your home page is when you add 2 way links directly to the home page. But when you do this it will decrease the PR of the other subpages. Even when you add a 2 way link to a subpage that has a two way link to the home page the home page real PR drops.

Have fun with the calculator and hopefully this clears up this issue seeing how there is nowmath to support what I have been saying.

By the way my finding are not new. While I orginially found out how adding pages can drop TRPR and hence Real PR by experience, PR experts and people involved in the text link ad industry have been aware of this for a long time. This is no new discovery and I consider the things I have been presenting in this thread be ABC's in PR.

I am not saying that to take a wack at those that have disagree with me but it's just a fact. Any one that has even taken the time to read the main articles that are out there and has done there home work should see this. Even the site you just asked me to look at shows this same thing and comments on it.

What Other PR Experts Have Said

Mark Sobek's article, which I consider the most advanced articles I have named in this post (see links at the bottom of this post) , even has a section called "The Reduction of PageRank by Additional Pages". While I don't agree with all the positions he takes in his article, he does come out and clearly state "Since adding pages to a site often reduces PageRank for already existing pages, it becomes obvious that the PageRank algorithm tends to privilege smaller web sites." http://www.miswebdesign.com/resourc...pagerank-6.html

Phil Craven's article is quite short but still its very clear that he has a good grasp on PageRank. In his "Google PageRank Explained", he also brings out that adding pages to a site one or more of the existing pages will suffer a PageRank loss.

"The new page will, of course, aquire PageRank from the site's existing pages. The effect is that, whilst the total PageRank in the site is increased, one or more of the existing pages will suffer a PageRank loss due to the new page making gains."

Ian Rogers in his article "The Google Pagerank Algorithm and How It Works" shows how you can return link 1000 pages from a one page and then link that page to the home page and product a real PR of 331 on the home page in Example 13 as seen at this link http://www.iprcom.com/papers/pagerank/. The problems with this sample are numerous. First its spam (which is notes), 2nd the Google bot is going to cough at a page with 1000 links on it, and 3rd, in the scheme of things real PR of 331 is nothing. One inbound link from a PR4 will give you that. Baring that issue Ian's article is one of the better article out there.

Chris Riding's makes the statement in his article that "Fundamentally, however, adding extra internal links to your outbound pages is one of the most (if not the most) important internal factors to improve you PageRank." Page 27 http://www.voelspriet2.nl/PageRank.pdf . This is a good point and gets me to add another item to the "Things that can cause yoru TBPR to drop" list.

Things that can cause your TB PR to drop
9. Removing of internal links from pages that have external links. (Internal links on pages that have your most external links will change the about of PR voted off site.)
