How I got my Website from PR0 to PR4 in 2 Months

Google PageRank is one of the strangest things. Google Along with your overall rank given by Alexa, Google decides to rank each of your website’s pages on a number 1-10, the higher the better your site is optimized and linked through search engines. Many people strive to get high PageRanks because it’s a good selling point for advertisers, and you can market your blog to a broader audience.

But there is a problem. It takes time, and a lot of work to build up your PageRank, especially to the level of a popular site like Digg(PR8) and Twitter(PR9). But that doesn’t mean you can’t get it done exceptionally fast, like in the time for Google’s next update!

Yes, Google has just recently updated their PageRank system, showcasing the numbers out to all of the current websites with ranks (if you want to check yours, here’s a good site). I want to help you all raise your PageRank by the next update, so I am going to share some tips on raising your website’s PR.

How To Raise Your Google PageRank through the Roof!

So I had purchased a brand new domain about 2-2 1/2 months ago from the time of this post, and I’ve already gotten it to PR4. The domain was previously unowned, so I didn’t raised a domain from PR3 or PR2 that high, I started from the ground at PR0 and worked my way up. Many people can’t get their heads around how this is so simple, but I’m going to share my one and only method with you right now. Ready?

Get tons and tons of backlinks! I cannot stress this enough, this is 90% of the reason why I have a PR4 right now, I have gotten as many backlinks as I can to my site. DoFollow or NoFollow, really doesn’t matter to me as I have gained a ton of awareness of my website, a lot of unique visitors interested in my comments, plus backlinks from major blogs, forums… wherever I can get my link!

The first place I would suggest visiting are tons and tons of blogs. If you know what niche you’re trying to market in (design, IT, movies, business…) you can find blogs related to your niche. There are millions of blogs on the internet, so I guarantee there have to be a few related to your topic.

Once you find them, keep up with their posts. You may be a blogger yourself and think you know everything, but reading similar blogs in your niche and keeping up-to-date with their posts allows you to compare your work as a blogger, plus post comments on their posts to give your site backlinks.

Gaining backlinks from popular blogs is key, because these sites are the one’s who will usually pass of some PR juice to your website. For example, if you are writing about dogs and you find a great blog about dog training, you should go to their most recent post and leave a comment. Relate it to the post and what they were talking about, and leave your name as the name of your website along with the URL to your website.

If you can post 25-40 comments daily, you can have just about 1000 backlinks after one month! Imagine if you gained 50, even 100 backlinks daily and continued this for 2 months. You could have a very heft amount of links pointing to your website, which are all passing on PR juice.

It’s really as simple as that! If you want to gain more traffic to your site and raise your PageRank through the roof, just start gaining backlinks! Start leaving comments on high-PR and niche-related blogs, and even join a few forums. Leaving a link to your website in your forum means every thread you post in has a backlink to your website. If you can get 100-200 posts on a PR5 or PR6 forum, you’re doing really good right off the bat!

The Conclusion: Build your Links!

Anyways my new website has gotten at least 3,000 inlinks pointing to it from external websites, heavily bookmarked through many social bookmarking and networking sites, plus blog and forum backlinks. If you want to check out my site, it’s called Blogger Den: Digg for Bloggers. I had written about it in another post, and it’s grown significantly since first launching it.

Anyways hopefully this advice helped, leave me a comment if you like the article or have questions / suggestions for future posts. Keep your marketing going, and good vibes to everyone.

Thanks for sharing! That is what I have been trying to do lately is build up links. It is great to know of someone who has gotten that high of a PR in two months. That encourages me to keep linking (though at a slower pace). Thanks.

Hi, Nice post and congrats on the page rank!

How long does it take to post on 50 blogs or is just making 50 comments on several sites. Such as may be 20 or 30 sites. Also are you post to the same blogs daily or do you mix it up some?

For me, I barely have time to post to 10 blogs daily.

element321 on January 5th, 2010 at 6:57 pm

Thanks for your kindness to share the information about PR ranking. I seriously thinking about blogging. So this information should help me in the days of better blogging. I have a question regarding “commenting for PR”. Suppose the website did not submit its comment feed for search engines (‘NOFOLLOW’ attribute in XML file) will it help me to increase PR.

What Google gives they can take away, and this will help build pagerank, but don’t forget. Bloggers who do paid opps or sponsored posts will be penalized pagerank by Google, and you can easily be stripped to a PR0 even with 40,000 backlinks to your site online and an Alexa rank under 50k with ease.

Dragon Blogger on January 5th, 2010 at 10:26 pm

I’m getting BETTER results from nofollow back links than from dofollow:

Allegedly Flickr is nofollow… then why does it get an unknown to Google url almost instantly indexed?

David Bruce, Jr. on January 6th, 2010 at 3:52 am

Thanks for sharing. Could you remember or assess how many links on average you needed for PR2, PR3 and PR4?

Franco Graziosi on January 6th, 2010 at 4:57 am

what about you write meaningful content and let people link to it ?

tim on January 6th, 2010 at 6:01 am

I have a vast amount of blogs in my feedly reader and use that for new posts on the blogs I follow and though I do try to comment on them all, sometimes a post is written about something that I can’t really comment on, but since commenting more, my blogs popularity has risen considerably.

Karen @ Blazing Minds on January 6th, 2010 at 6:05 am

That is a fantastic effort! My blog missed the latest update cause I only just started it, but hopefully I can mirror your efforts with the next update!

Tom on January 6th, 2010 at 8:24 am

I’ve gotten mixed news when it comes to nofollow affect pagerank or not- Google’s official word is it gets indexed, but no pagerank change. But others like yourself say that it does affect PR.

But if what Google says is true, then leaving comments really has no effect. Personally, I think the easiest way to get visitors is to optimise your site and join niche communities. Those usually don’t use nofollow, and you’re almost guaranteed that whoever clicks on your link will be interested in your content.

Marina on January 6th, 2010 at 10:26 am

Thanks for the information. I have had a web site for years, but it has never had a great PR. I worked a lot by word of mouth and never really had time to focus on promoting the web site, just wasn’t necessary for me. Now with the economy slowing, I need to figure out how to take advantage of the internet.

Thanks for the information, this is one of the better posts I have read recently.

CreativeAce on January 6th, 2010 at 10:44 am

I see how all of this could quickly be beneficial but it also seems kind of spammy. I don’t think it is a good idea to go around leaving a bunch of comments with your URL being dropped, especially in such a short amount of time. I would suggest leaving a combination of natural comments and leaving your URL every now and then. If your comments are original and relate to your niche market as well as the post you are commenting on, you will have plenty of readers interested in coming back to your site. Additionally, this is just one way to increase PR. It is important to remember quality is important and so is the long run turn out not just the immediate results.

Joanna Batten on January 6th, 2010 at 11:55 am

I like this technique bc I enjoy reading and commenting on blog anyway.

Brent on January 6th, 2010 at 1:20 pm

I spend 15 mn per day trolling blogs and content sharing posts and adding 3 incredible comments per day. You can outsource it to someone if you trust it enough. Don’t forget that the comments will define your position and create an opinion about your company. Is your reputation important for you ? Then don’t outsource anyone to do the comments.

Great Article and thanks for sharing here

AhsanShankar on January 7th, 2010 at 10:57 am

This sounds like a great link strategy. i have heard Yahoo doesn’t care if the links are follow or nofollow a link is a link. I will have to try this strategy out on my blog more thoroughly as submitting to free directories, while ok i guess, they can disappear at a whims notice. It seems most free directories are junk anymore except dmoz, yahoo directory, and best of the web.

thanks for the advice, i will try leaving comments on blogs and see where it takes me. I bookmarked your site, and I look forward to more articles like this.

thanks again

Toan Nguyen Minh on January 14th, 2010 at 3:46 am

You have inspired me a ton! Just one question;

1. Yahoo shows about 3000 backlinks to my site, but all that come from only about 30 domains. Is that a good thing or bad thing? Would the “30 domain” be considered part of the algorithm to give out a PR?

Voyage Montreal on January 14th, 2010 at 12:11 pm

Yahoo and Google are not compatible rite? So, what step is needed to increase google page rank?

MIke on January 25th, 2010 at 4:58 pm

As a rule the more quality backlinks which are related to your niche will help to improve PageRank. However, you shouldn’t just chase down do-follow backlinks because it doesn’t look natural. One must think of targeted web traffic a well and not solely focus on PageRank.

You can have a site that has high PageRank, but what good is that if you don’t have targeted traffic that is converting into cash? Web traffic needs to be targeted and you need to know how to convert your visitors into cash.

My site has a PageRank of PR3 and Google shows only two backlinks. I used to build backlinks on a regular basis, however I now prefer that they are acquired naturally.

This article is inspiring me to spend more time with backlinks – I’ve never really thought they were THAT crucial. Thanks! :)

Low Calorie Ideas on February 1st, 2010 at 3:47 pm

Great information, but when did you sleep. I have enough trouble just keeping up on a few blogs, much less commenting on them. I can’t image the hours you put in to get your blog up to a PR4.

Well, at least now I have some inspiration, now if I can find the time. I wouldn’t outsource this. My thoughts are sometimes off the mark, but at least their mine. I wouldn’t want someone speaking for me.

Quick Steps to Increase Google PageRank in 2 Weeks / JRB on February 12th, 2010 at 8:50 am

Looks like a lot of people commented just to get the links to their site as you suggested. That makes it seem fake to me. Although, I think your post is correct, I don’t understand the idea behind creating a bunch of phony links all day long (and night) in hopes that a few people come to a website and then a few of those will actually turn into customers. Seems like Google could figure out a better way. Thanks for the information

Marty on February 13th, 2010 at 1:00 am

Those are some good tips. Does it really matter about putting the name as the name of a blog? Well thanks anyway – come leave some comments on my blog – I’ll make sure you can get some doFollow linking, its PR0 now but with your tips it should be climbing!
