The latest report on Search engine algorithms is that search engines still look at links both internal and external as a good way of increasing your web pages’ page rank or even its search engine results page. With the growing population of websites being online daily there is also an increase in the competition among websites of same niche or same type of online business. Link building maybe a great way to earn page ranking but when everybody is doing it you need a new strategy or a creative strategy the will help you increase your lead in ranking with your other competitors. Link building strategies need not be totally scrapped rather it is supposed to be augmented by different styles of linking. The conventional link is that an external website will be linking to your website, this is then considered as one vote to your website. This is why many websites nowadays are trying to convince website owners with high page ranking to create a link going to their website. This may not be often attainable due to the fact that websites with high page ranking does not want to funnel its traffic to anywhere else which is done through the incorporation of an external link to the target website.
With the advent of Web 2.0 and the emergence and increasing popularity of social media networks many SEO companies and SEO consultants have resorted to utilising a technique called web referencing. This is a method where a target websites’ URL is published in the social media network, this is a classic example of the method spreading via the word of mouth but in this case via the click of the mouse. The process involves a person who has an existing account in a particular social media network will create a link to the target website by posting it into his comments page, shout out box or any features that the social media network is offering and where it allows the posting of links. With the link now published many people within the social media network can and may also recommend the same website which would then create a viral movement of the link from one individual comment box to another.

You are reading this most probably due to the fact that you have seen the importance of search engine optimisation in your website or online business. Maybe you have learned that many people are already earning thousands of dollars due to the effects of their SEO campaign and you would also want to earn those large sums of money. While it is true that the Return of investments will double or if not more when you utilise an SEO campaign for your marketing strategy, such is also a very tedious task. It is because of this that many who have started with SEO had ended up losing more money with not one thing being improved in his or her online business. Couple that with the fact that you will encounter so much frustration in this field, it is more likely that you will have to end or terminate your SEO campaign and ultimately your online business. Therefore, before you start with any form of SEO campaign you have to display the correct mindset first. The initial mindset should be, “an SEO campaign is viewed as an investment rather than a liability”, many online entrepreneurs have been looking at SEO campaign as an avenue to spend money, while this may be true the correct mindset should be a positive mindset, that is, the expenses that you will incur is going to be your investment and it’s ROI will be greater than what you have shelled out. Second, you have to already accept at the onset of your SEO campaign that you will experience failures and frustrations. Failure and frustrations is part of your SEO campaign, the sooner you accept this fact the sooner you can move on. Many are devastated by failures especially in business and seldom will you see a businessman bounce back from such failure. Further, instead of looking at failure as a negative blow to your business treat it as a learning experience which will give you that valuable information on what not to do and thus will ultimately improve your approach on your SEO campaign. Just having these two mindsets is a very good start when you enter your SEO campaign.

One highly important factor in Search engine optimisation is the creation of an SEO campaign that would give you results. Unfortunately, results does not come easy, it requires a lot of work in order for your website to get that number one search engine results page ranking. One very effective way of getting that elusive SERP ranking is by taking a closer look on the algorithm of the leading search engine company, and as of today that title still belongs to Google. Google’s search engine algorithm is of course a secret to all but having satisfied several criteria set by Google, one of the criteria that you should focus on is by establishing the importance of your website. For Google the importance of a website is seen through the page ranking that it gives to the website, a page rank of zero to three is considered to be a site with very minimal link or it is a newly launched website, a page rank of 4-5 is a website that has a considerably fair number of links, a page rank of 6 is a website which is significantly popular due to the number of links connected to it, a page rank ranging from 7-10 is usually bestowed upon media brands or websites.

But what is page ranking? And why does it consider link? Every SEO company and SEO consultant knows that every website has to establish their presence or visibility and importance, establishing the latter through page ranking therefore requires your website to have a considerable amount of websites linking to your website. This means that every website outside your website should will have to create a link pointing to your website or part of it, this is because websites linking to your website is being viewed by Google as a vote to your website. But it will have to take hundreds if not thousands of websites to link back to you before you gain such importance. So how do you get that page ranking fast? Well this has been one of the endeavors that SEO companies and SEO consultants have been continuously focusing on.

Well you have to first research and look for a website that has a high page rank, one with a page rank of six (6) will do better than with a page rank of three, once you have located a site that has a considerable page rank the hard part is on how you should ask for the website owner to create a link pointing towards your site. This can happen automatically if your website content is reliable and if your site has relevant contents with that of the website that you want to link with you. It is harder to ask for a link from a website with a pagerank of six because you have everything to gain but none for the linking website. So why not ask websites with page rank of 2, 3 , 4 or 5?  Well it is believed that page ranking increases in logarithmic behavior therefore a website with a page rank of three will have a difference of more than one hundred links with that of a website with a page rank of five, so if you want to get a high page rank fast then do your best to link to a website with a page rank of six.
