How to Increase Your Google Page Rank (Rule #1: Don’t Talk About Increasing Your Google Page Rank)

The first rule of Increasing Your Google Page Rank is Not to Talk About Increasing Your Google Page Rank.

Let me back up.

I have a lot of websites I dabble on/manage/own/open to grin at. I have a passive life goal to increase my google page rank on such sites. Alas, I do absolutely nothing to reach such goal. In fact, I actually do active things to disrupt this goal, like linking to dumb articles and other internet nonsense.

Even so, on rare occasion I’ll be looking at one of my websites and I’ll realize that my Google Page Rank has…(wait for it)…INCREASED!

This provokes an immediate happy dance, the likes of which I will not replicate for anyone, ever.

Shortly after said happy dance, my levels of serotonin return to their normal base and I become accustomed to my new page rank for that particular website, feeling I thoroughly and completely deserve it, it is my birth-order-determined RIGHT and I should have had it for years.

Then, the Google Page Rank gods have at me again. A day might have passed, or maybe a month, or maybe even a year. But surely, without warning, the Google Page Rank gods rip the new page rank away from me in a way not unlike taking off bandaids from open wounds that have not yet scarred. These rips — each and every one – damage a piece of me. Not to mention my websites, whose newly lowered page ranks reflect the scars.

Why am I talking about this?

If you haven’t deduced from my cryptic hints, the Google Page Rank gods have struck again in my life. Although there were some minor let-downs in the process (one site I have went from a 4 to a 3 — sad day) the biggest boon (read: GOOD THING!) has occurred here at ClaireDiazOrtiz.com, where the page rank gods have upped my rank to…(wait for it)…a 6!

Yes!

 

Six is good, folks. I swear. Six is like the level where important people who say they don’t care about google page rank sit, busy with their not caring since 1999. Six is the level where your blog content is truly dynamo. With a six, I’ve undoubtedly got incredible things to say.

No, really.

For proof, see some of my life changing past blog posts, including How to Make a Tea Commercial (a fundamental skill for anyone in this day and age) and Lessons from the Breakfast Buffet (which is not just a list of things I ate that day, but rather a post with deep, hidden, as-of-yet-unrevealed meaning).

Comments

  1. So envious, Claire, and yet, not entirely jealous since you obviously deserve it!

  2. canayjun says:

    I thought the answer was 42.

  3. My previous employer charged more than they paid me the entire time I worked there to get companies to the page rank you have achieved. Congrats.

  4. Bellena says:

    I can tell you how i increased mine. I get more +1 :) Actually i did nothing / Found http://socialnetexposure.com and they do the trick for me.

  5. tech geek says:

    I am impressed by your first rule….. :)

  6. Webhost says:

    Congratulations. I’m stuck at 2, but I’ll keep at it like you’ve done! :)

  8. james says:

    Quirky article, nice to know other people get passively obsessed with page rank

  9. Ken says:

    Yes, the whole topic is quite confusing Claire. I see some sites that are total junk, with just a few links, and they have PRs of 5, and then other great sites with solid and sincere information and a fair bit of backlinks with only PRs of 2 and 3. Some are gaming the system well, it seems.

  10. SEO Tahoe says:

    Yes I am agree with Ken. This topic is quite confusing. If I talk about my experience in this matter then I would like to say here that I have implemented all these factors (Guidelines to increase page rank) to increase page rank, but these are OK till some extend but if we go for Google Adword services then within few months your website PR will increase very fast. So it can be another way if we want to increase page rank fast.

  11. Sato says:

    I think adwords is a faster way of increasing page rank.

    Thanks for the info. Really want to see my site go up the ranks.

  14. thats great tip.

  15. That is a tactic that i will have try from now on since i cant get any results the “normal” way.

  16. Ana Stin says:

    I’ve just started working on boosting the page rank for my site at http://camp-hunt-shoot.com using a quite different strategy and have documented every step in the process so far, along with the impact on PR after each step is complete. I’m leaving several weeks between each step to give each action time to flow through Google’s head and reflect in PR.

    Once I’m done, I’ll return here and list the results for everyone to have a look at.

  17. timeturner says:

    my website is on PR2 .
    I wanna ask how much time will it take to reach me on PR5

    Excellent article and http://pinkcoconutice.webuda.com is stuck on PR1.
    I wonder if you write articles on SEO as Pink Coconut Ice is highly seo’d and hits pages 1 2 3 of google for many keywords but I cannot get it anywhere near for “competitions” and it is analysed best for this keyword. Very confusing!

  31. Simon Black says:

    I’ve spent hours, days, maybe even weeks working on the PR for some sites but find that given time, most sites will increase naturally. I had one client who wanted to increase from 0 to 3 and I showed her some basic things to do and after 12 months she got there! I think she spent a few hours a week on it but she’s been sat at PR3 since and hasn’t dropped.

  32. How to increase my website page rank… Help me

  33. I am very new to the SEO game but quickly found that the PR # has become an obsession.

  34. Lois says:

    It was a cute enough article, and one I can relate to, but did I miss all the great tips you guys are commenting on? I didn’t see any … Maybe it’s just that the page is high and allows backlinks, so I’ll in with my site at http://www.paypizzapal.com

  35. Manu Grover says:

    Super way to be free spirited , well within the boundaries. Pr, has an addictive flavour to it & we have started an e commerce site, just a few day back in India, specialising, in health , nutrition & wellness , http://www.healthgenie.in & hope to get to pr6, sooner than later & know, with every step the climb, would be steeper, but that’s what separate , men from boys & women from a girl.
    Loved yr blog…

  36. Ben says:

    Thanks for the information. Good tip to follow.

  37. Pravin says:

    Your crazy experiments got you a well deserved Page Rank of 5. Congrats. Thanks for sharing.

  38. Eric says:

    I wanted to congratulate you getting to a 6! I see the gods have brought you back to a 3, but as you continue to blog and write good articles I am sure it will increase again. You were the 4th natural result when googled “how to increase my page rank for my site”. http://www.greatdominicanrepublicvacations.com.

  39. Great article and Congrats for getting this stage for your blog. It will help me to increase Google Page Rank for my blog and social bookmarking site also. thanks a lot.

  40. Jason says:

    Well done on you page rank, I am hoping to get to page rank 1 on the next update,
    I don’t want to increase page rank quick as it may land me in hot waters with the big G.

    I do a bit of linkbuilding for page rank, the rest is to increase my SERPS,

    Good luck and happy blogging

  41. Alex says:

    Related to this topic, I have developed a website evaluation algorithm:
    http://www.webuka.com/
    I have used Google PR, Alexa Ranking, Alexa back-links and Compete Ranking as input parameters.
    The mathematical formulas behind the website evaluation algorithm are calibrated using real website transactions.
    Enter your URL and you will have a financial evaluation in a few seconds. (your website market price and your potential monthly advertising income).

    Nice post, and congrats on your pagerank :) My site is relatively new and I have been spending more time focusing on content, search term / keyword placement, social networking growth and obtaining more traffic. But the chance to increase my Google PageRank is something that has been in the back of my mind for some time and so now I am looking for some tips on how to gradually increase it and if it really is all that important. Thanks for the advice :)

  46. Christian says:

    Nice work, I could only hope the Google PR gods my website http://chroniclex.com is stuck at a PR of 1. And it has been there pretty much since I have created it, regardless of how much more traffic, additional content, or how much better I make the site it just stays at a 1. At least I can say my site is #1.

    Cheers,
    Christian

  47. Gary says:

    I can relate to the part were you said you did your happy dance when your page rank increased. I to have fell victim of the happy, happy, joy, joy dance when my page rank went up by 1 spot. Only to see it go back down to nothing the next day? Oh mighty Google, why must you take my happy dance away?
    I just started my new site called http://seoboomsauce.com and I am focusing on content and traffic to start but page rank with Google is next on my list. Thanks for the actionable tips!

  48. Mike says:

    I have two sites http://www.pphoto.ifp3.com and an older site that now mirrors the new one http://www.pphoto.co.uk

    Both have a dismal 1 on page rank :-(

    I have two questions, how important is page rank/what do you get for a higher one and how do I get it higher..

    no wait thats three questions..

    Great article. Funny. I am about to throw myself at this SEO stuff as the Google gods are hammering me in the pagerank department. I may have to get with the times to survive! :) I may even have to blog and twitter and if you knew me you’d know how much that idea thrills me :)

    Cheers again

  51. Rich says:

    Interesting article.im embarrassed to say that my site http://www.cadblocksfree.com is stuck firmly on PR1! Very annoying. We are achieving over 2500 hits daily , 500,000 monthly page views. What am I doing wrong?

    very nice important post
    you my visit my bd models blog to know bngldeshi models biography

  62. This is a really interesting article (along with all the comments) however page rank doesn’t mean all that much unless you are using it for backlinks to boost a site up the serp’s. For example, getting a link from this site by posting a comment could help the rankings for my website as this page is PR 3. It is a great feeling to get high PR though and your site definitely deserves the PR it has.

  63. Very important and helpful topic, I will try to follow it. Thanks for the post!

  65. Damien says:

    So, after checking out Pat Flynn’s podcast over at http://www.smartpassiveincome.com, I decided “hey I’m pretty handy with research, I’ll start a few websites as a side business and see where it leads”.

    My first site has been doing well so far (www.mymodernastrology.com if you’re interested, and no I couldn’t believe that URL wasn’t taken either…) but if I had known how nebulous and completely enigmatic “PageRank” is, I probably wouldn’t have started a site. It’s a bit frustrating that Google are basically the gatekeepers of the web, and if they decide one day to change their algorithms or, oh I dunno, prioritize Google+ results over other results, they can completely screw up your livelihood.

    Still, learning about all this stuff is fun, and since it doesn’t cost very much (who knew hosting cost less than a cup of Starbucks?) its a journey worth taking so far. Having a little piece of “myself” on the web is actually kindof neat.

  66. Asif Khan says:

    I am kinda new to all this, is it appropriate to flirt through comment posts ?

  82. Mark says:

    Does page ranking get you more traffic, do we really know what it means ?

  83. Elsa Grady says:

    So the rule is ignore Google and they will pay attention to you, like the pesky suitor who can’t stand being ignored and won’t leave you alone . Reverse psychology works huh?

  84. Clanki says:

    Vau. This is very good if google give you PR6. Thanks for sharing your results.

  85. SunnyCompany says:

But I’m interested (if you’re willing to share), how hard did you work on linking your website, or is it just the result of high visitor numbers?

  99. Beeker says:

    This is a battle we all fight every day. I wish there were clear cut goals you can work for, or an objective you can obtain. You do what you can, put out good quality content, and hope and pray you get rewarded. When you work your behind off and lose ranking, it is a slap in the face…

    I have a problem to rank a landing page. my root domain was PR2 before I made a landing page on home page. Now the root domain is N/A.. And it doesn’t rank. Do you know why?
    It’s my personal website: http://sebagorka.com

    thank you,

    Seb

  127. I have been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I
    never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough
    for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you
    did, the internet will be a lot more useful
    than ever before. I have found a very good
    email client (http://abv.bg). Mail also called internet mail (email) is still popular nowadays.
