The Importance of Relevant Backlinks for Page Rank

In our quest for getting a page rank to our website, we do all sorts of activities. Of all getting backlinks is the key. We do lot of research and find information on how to get and where to get those backlinks. Somewhere in the middle we hear the emphasis getting backlinks from relevant web pages. Did you know how important this is?

Easy Concept

At first, it was easy to understand this concept. A backlink to a site from another relevant website is like endorsement of specialist for a candidate applying for a certification. For example, if I was a good student who can study well, how do I make this known to new people in my life. My family, relatives and friends can tell lot of tales. But if my teacher tells the same thing (even though that is my teacher), it will have more authority or weightage than my friends’ testimony.

Relevant Topics

When I said relevant web page it does not mean that you need to find the closest matching web pages. If you have written an article say “How Hens Hatch Their Eggs?”, the relevant web page for this does not always need to another article that says “How Many Eggs Hens Can Hatch Fast?”. Of course that is very relevant article of same topic. But another article saying “Why Hens are Important in Your Household?” is also relevant. It is relevant because they are still on the common topic of hens. Another common topic can be only about eggs. For examples, “Where can we Find Eggs of a Duck Easily?” goes to the common topic of eggs. But again more weightage will be for that topic that is very very relevant. That means the common topic involving both eggs and hens can be highly relevant. The lesser weightage topic can about animals. All of the examples I had just mentioned contain the common topic of “animals”.

Though we learned that relevant web page backlinks are important, it is hard to get them and at the same time the uncertainty of how much important it makes it hard to do anything to get them. It is easy to find forums, blogs or articles as we surf the web. But the action of filtering our way through the web to find relevant topics and that too the pages allowing dofollow backlinks is really very hard work. But if you do it pays off very well.

The Aritlce That Quantified the Benefit of Relevant Backlinks

In my case, I learned it through an article I have written on Mammoth. The title goes as “Can We Bring Life Back to Mammoth?”. I was inspired by a similar story in newspaper. I immediately done some research and decided to make an article on this topic. I chose this topic because it is well known that they are extinct animals.

After writing the article and getting it published at Triond, I looked for ways to promote. It happened two months back. I just learnt about the importance of promoting our own articles through links from any websites. Then I thought if I write comments with a backlink to this article and that too on a page related in any way to mammoth, I am most likely to draw all visitors of that page to my page. At that time little did I know how hard it is to find relevant pages.

So what I did was to search for mammoth in Google and found some results. I thought high page rank articles only get high traffic and so I commented only on two web pages. Both had page rank of not less than 3. I commented there putting a link back to my article. One page approved the comment after a month time. Looking at it pending everyday I gave up thinking the comments are worthless. I also commented at another web page but which was about internet marketing. It gave me dofollow backlink though not a relevant backlink.

The Results

After two months I suddenly found this article having page rank of 3. It is terribly surprising for me to digest this. I had spent so much time to get backlinks to my blogs. But not a single one got atleast a page rank of zero. But this article with only few backlinks has got a page rank of 3.

So what does this mean? The page that had relevant content on mammoth has PR of 3. It was giving backlink only to my article. So the weightage of outgoing link as well the weightage coming from relevant ness must have worked like magic. Here I have just revealed an important SEO secret.

That means even a single backlink from a relevant web page can give you a PR as much as the relevant page has. This is how to get quality backlinks. Even if we need to pay little money we can try to get it because in the end the PR value makes it worth the money. With this result, I am now aware of the quantified nature of relevant backlinks. That will motivate enough to put effort for better SEO. Also note that I didn’t just get a PR, but also getting some free regular traffic for that article.

Do you like your health insurance?

Health insurance refers to insuring against unexpected clinical ailments. Unlike life insurance where life is at stake, in health insurance medical bills will be taken care of in the said or agreed clinical event.

Not many people like their health insurance. Some even do not have one. This is because some people do not get the flexibility and always get a feel of uneasy with the insurance providers. After all insurer wants to do his business. Then why does he pay my bills?

But not every one who has taken insurance will be getting ill. So the insurer will not bother to reimburse. We do not have a choice as to what doctor to go for test, treatment etc. with many of health insurance providers. Sometimes this can burn all of your insurance amount.

Dentistry was there in ancient times

There are many texts referring to the dentist activities in the ancient times. They date back to times as old as 7000BC. The Indus Valley Civilization which is very old seems to have practiced this profession.

There were dental holes caused by dental drills, found in the teeth of ancient people. The Sumerian text dating back to 5000 BC describes the ailments of dental caries caused by tooth worms.

India, China, Egypt and other eastern countries were found to have practiced this activity in the past. Though dentistry in itself was not a profession at that time, it was done some times by barbers and sometimes by individuals. The tools they used varied and evolved from pelican to the forceps of the modern times.

Now practicing dentists need to register according to 1921 dentists act. It also requires qualification like any other profession.

Labels are very much needed to identify any product. Labels are also sometimes used for marketing different products.

Using paid search ads

What all do we do for marketing our products? Marketing is done either through public advertising, posters, as advertisements in television etc. With the evolution of internet now this marketing has become very easier and cheaper. Now the marketing is accessible to any person or business across the world.

There are many techniques of marketing on the internet. Among them are the advertisement banners, link ads, image ads, pop-ups etc. Banner ads are not good option as these are annoying to a visitor of a website. Similar is the pop-up advertisements. These are the worst type of advertisements because they cause extreme annoyance to the visitor that he does not at all wish to look at those ads. More over he tries to block those pop-up ads using special software.

Now it is clear that the link ads are the best option for marketing your product. But there are so many people who use those ads and how do you manage your ads. We need to learn to do a better pay per click management. With pay per click ads or paid search ads we can choose certain keywords related to our products which we wish to market. The keywords we choose decide the customers. Because the customer uses the same keywords in a search engine and your paid search ads appear on the side.

While using paid search ads one needs to know how to bid prices for the pay per click. This can grow with competition or a keyword. So the ppc advertising is not the eternal option for marketing but rather it is the best option to spread information about your product. One needs patience before the ads work for him/her. All this definitely require a better pay per click management.

Scientists spot new planets again - this time 28

The scientists have discovered 28 new planets. This combined with earlier discovered external planets outside our solar system make up a total of 236. I don’t know what these people are going to find out.

The scientists say that the more they search for planets the more they are finding. Some of the planets were found to be like Jupiter, comprising mostly gas and called gas giants.

The recently discovered super-Earth planet orbits the star Gliese 581, which is fainted, and 20 light years away from the Earth. We can definitely, for the time being, forget about any expeditions to these planets.
