Google the Voting System – Website Page Rank
The Google voting system and how it affects your website popularity. Ok, how the voting system works when someone places a link to your site on their site Google sees it as them voting for your website. So someone voted for your site this means that the Google-bots then think ok this site is important enough to have another site linking to it. Next step the Google-bots checks to see what the ranking is of the website and if it is not at least 4 of 10 then the incoming link will more than likely not count for you in a sense. What does this mean?Â
The reason behind this is that Google is trying to provide quality content sites that have more exposure by using this page ranking system to only allow sites with relevant quality content for the output of Google searches.
Simply put Google ranks pages based on a “vote” cast system. A link from a relevant popular website is the best way to increase your Page Rank score not your brother’s Cow & Pig Blog with one visitor per month! Lets get started with getting your page ranked higher; web directories, reciprocal link exchange, outgoing links, write quality articles, well designed site, optimized site, link farms, link exchange services, and FFA listing are a few good areas to start with, I’d say.
If you need your Page Rank go to dnScoop and they provide a detailed layout of information to include; page rank, domain age, inbound links, alexa ranking, indexed pages, and site value. Here’s a screen shot of some of my site info:
It has been said that Google has a system in place that makes it useless to inadvertently add links to your site just for the sole purpose of “trading linksâ€. The reality of the situation in my opinion is that trading links is a must even if Google-bots do not like it for their Page Rank system because there are other reasons for exchanging links besides optimization of your site. If you are trading links for the sole purpose of search engine optimization then you should try and find as many sites that will trade with you that have a rank of 4 of 10 or higher.Â
On the other hand if search engine optimization is not your’ only motive such as one of my motives to get the highest rank possible in Technorati it does not matter if the site has relative information or a high page rating. Some more insight to exchanging links is that you may actually find a site that you like and visa versa. Then you are increasing your feed readers and the incoming repeat traffic from those readers to your site. Later if those sites you linked to eventually become high ranked with in Google you have already linked to them so in the long run you will get what those damn bots were looking for in the first place, plus the bonus of repeat readers.
While I am thinking about everyone on the net has to start somewhere right so why make an entire assumption based off a Google-bot Page Rank system. You never really know how well a site may do in the long run and if you did not give them a chance then just maybe they will not think so highly of you later on if you just happen to ask a favor of them.

I agree with your sentiment that everyone has to start somewhere and if you are in it for the long haul, then why not pick your friends by your own standards? Anyway, Google’s logic over PR equals votes from good sites for good sites is questionable to put it mildly. As an example, if you read through high brow SEO related sites, there are some really dull and self righteous “quality” experts out there all patting each other on the back gassing between themselves about whatever they think up for the next big thing.
Google keep saying Google is about content, so by linking to lesser known blogs you are bringing more content into the limelight and creating competition so those successes dont get too smug.
Thanks for the tip about dnscoop.com. I’ve used other PR checker site before but I like the all in one nature of this one. I’ll definitely start using it on a regular basis. Good find.
That’s pretty cool. I’m not going to say how much my blog is worth…it’s kinda sad lol. Then again it’s only been up for 15 days lol.
Thanks Ed for some more insight on PR and SEO, Yes Frank I agree the dnscoop is pretty cool has alot to offer in a nice GUI layout. Do not be ashamed Sean because you could show what it’s worth now and what you have achieved monthly.
Great, thanks a lot. It made me think about many issues I have to correct at my site.
