You already know that it is quite important to reach a PR and you know that backlinks is one way to get a PR. Now we want to have a look at it how you can get some links, also known as backlinks to your site.

There is one easy and fast way to get many links to your site. You can buy some link by placing paid links in so called link farms. But some says that Google does not like that and your PR would not be so high and I say why pay for it if there are possibilities to build some up without to pay for it?!?
1) Use social bookmarking to get attention for your content. When your items are on a site like Digg or StumbleUpon, you can count on getting more views than if you didn’t. These extra views can lead to extra bookmarking. This often leads to the content being linked to by site owners who saw it on the social media site.

2)Post a link to your site on a forum. Most forums allow links to be posted somewhere on the site, usually at the bottom of your own posts. Some forums don’t have indexed pages, but the ones that do will increase the number of SEO links your site has when the pages with links are crawled.But do not spam around!

3)Keep a blog. With your own blog, you can link to your site anywhere you like. If you have a Blogger blog, your permanent links will show up along with every post you make.

4)Get links through article directories. If you can write a few articles that are accepted by article directories, each of those articles will contain a source box with your link. These articles are free for anyone who wants to reprint them, as long as they keep the box. Every time someone reprints it, you get that link as well.

Fore some readers it is still not clear what PageRank(PR) is but it is too important not to explain it because that is something you will need for your blog and your success.
PageRank™ is a system for ranking web pages developed by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University in Stanford, California.

Simply, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But it is not only about a simple link or vote. Google also analyzes the page where the link comes from. That means what is the PR and the content from the source page. So high-quality websites receive a higher PageRank, which is remembered by Google each time you conduct a search. And if you still want to learn more about PR and its mechanisms you can read it here.

And how does a higher PR take effect on your blog? Every business, organisation or blogger running a website wants to be number one in any search query, right?

You type into Google the keyword “make money”. Immediately, there will be millions of web pages found. Now, out of the millions of pages, lets just say 500 of them will have good content and be equally well-designed. How will the search engine rank them then? They turn to link popularity, which has a direct influence on PageRank. The more incoming links from related sites that you have, the higher your PageRank which in turn increases your ranking on the search engine. However, you have to remember that your website must have good content and be well-optimized in order to receive this privilege. So lets work on that!

OK, now you have already your blog online, you wrote some post´s and take maybe took care to get some traffic to your blog. But do you know what is important to do make some money with your blog?

You have to know, that there are 2 most important indicators which are responsible how much money you can make with your blog.

1. Google PR  (PageRank)

2. Alexa Rank

Ok, that really not all but the two most important.

So what is Google PR? Wikipedia say “PageRank is a link analysis algorithm used by the Google Internet search engine that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of “measuring” its relative importance within the set. The algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with reciprocal quotations and references.”

And what to say about Alexa?

Alexa achieves its ranking system by counting how many pages were visited by people who have downloaded their toolbar. And that group of people is anything but random: they tend to be webmasters, Internet marketers, and other market-minded people.

If you want to improve your Alexa Rank I can only recommend you to install the Alexa-Plugin at your blog so every visitor will be counted! You can download it from Alexa.
