This blog, now 4 months old has just picked up its first page rank – a whopping 2 out of 10.
Not bad really, considering that some sites I know don’t have anything, nothing, zip, after 12 months of being online. So what is the key to getting a good page rank quickly?
Well, I guess the main reason is publicising your posts. Don’t just blog aimlessly and expect people to find the content. Write things that are interesting, and then promote the articles on social media sites such as digg, twitter and Sphin. Once you start to make posts public via social bookmarking you will find that links start to increase by themselves, especially if the content is interesting.
Blogs are great tools and can help to promote your products and services and an excellent catalyst to help any search engine optimisation campaign, but don’t expect them to do everything for you. Give them a little helping hand now and then and most importantly keep them up to date with fresh and interesting content.
