9 High Page Rank .Gov Blogs

Why is hard to get backlink from .gov blogs?

Many .gov blogs are not accepting comments. Although some .gov blogs accept comments from visitors, but there is no place for you to put your website URL, in the comment form.

Even for some .gov blogs do accept comments, all comments should have been moderated, and the post itself might really hard to be commented. You cannot only comment with only say Thanks for the information, or Thanks for sharing this post. Your comment will end in a spam junk.

If you keep repeating this kind of activity, using the same comments on every posts, and then your IP address might have been banned by the site's server. Keep your comments as natural as you can without using any anchor link text!

How to Get Free Backlink from PR9 Site

If you are a webmaster, you would have known this, The more sites that are linking to your site, the more traffic you will get. That is truly a fact, there are no webmasters would doubt it. Many webmasters are trying hard to keep their Alexa rank as lower as they could.

Though even I could not understand what are alexa based for ranking the sites. On alexa website, it only said that, many inbound links can help improve your rank in search engines, and can serve as a measure of a site's reputation.

You would also probably saw an advertising about buying link from PR9 sites. Infact you wouldn't have to spent a dime to get backlink from a PR9 site based on my experience in this blog.

Yeah!! The site is blogger.com, a PR9 site with alexa rank 89 (last time I checked). How did I get that PR9 backlink for free? If you already have Google account, whether you have blog or not, you must have a blogger profile. Fill your blogger profile with your site!

And then, if you have already blogger profile with your site on it, you must have been wondering, why my site didn't get a backlink from blogger.com?

Actually, there are 2 ways to get a backlink from blogger.com. The main thing is, you must comment to other sites, especially blogger blogspot sites, using your Google account.

The second is, your comment must be unique, so that it can drive the other visitors of the site who also read the post, to view on your blogger profile.

The more people viewed on your profile, and visited the site on your blogger profile, the faster you get the PR9 backlink from blogger.com.

The truth is, by commenting to other blogs or sites, it will drive traffic to your site, at least an exchange visit from the site owner. Moreover, if you follow others blog using Google Friend Connect, that other blog will also get another backlink from blogger.com.

You should not have to place your site link, using html text, with an anchor text, for an intention to get dofollow backlink from the site. It would be considered as a spam comment, and the site owner would not publish your comment.

Internet Without Search Engine

How would it be if internet without search engine?

The 1st time when I was shaking hand with connections called internet, was on the year of 1999, it's when Y2K was the biggest thread on every PCs around the world. Back then, Google's search engine was not so popular as now, the #1 search engine that is now used by all internet users. In the past, I used to rely on my search using Yahoo's search engine, which @yahoo.com was became my second accounts that I used for an email account.

My first email account that I used was from @usa.net, which now is no longer hosted for free email account. Much news I got from Yahoo news, back then. I never got used to on using search engine to get what I needed to read. I always relied on my books, which my grandmother gave me in 1999, after I insisted on asking for it. 21 books of Encyclopedia International, copyright © 1975 by Grolier Incorporated. My very precious legacies from my late grandfather, who had passed away in 1996. None all of my aunt and uncle were managed to read it. That books were just became a shelf decoration, and always me, the one that used to read it, everytime I visited my grandfather's house.

Ok! Back to topic! I had read on many SEO advices about using the right keywords for your site. The best way to attract search engine attention to crawl to your site. How about if there's no search engine like Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ask, etc.? You named it! What's your strategy to drive traffic to your site then?

I recently found a site on the internet that haven't used search engine on it, for an intention that search engine won't crawl the site. The text in the bottom of the site said that. So, how do people including me are managed on finding their sites? I was carried to that site after I used Google on my search, then I landed to a site, I was arrived to that 'uncrawled by search engine' site after I clicked to that site's link that attrached me to visit. It's strange for me to see a site that never want to be index by search engine.

My own conclusion is, that the site was never meant to be easily to find by everyone, although that site got higher Alexa rank for traffic. Last time I checked, it's ranked by Alexa below 2,700 with more than 5,000 sites linking in, PR 5 with Google backlink, and also Alexa top 500 sites rank in Indonesia. Now, I know why the site didn't want search engine to index the site, cause it was already indexed. I wouldn't say that site's name here.

Based on my last post Another Way To Boost Your SEO Rankings, your web design might attrached your visitors to revisit your site, besides all your site contents and keywords to be crawled by the search engine. Some people I found in such forum said, that a web design with dark (black) background color with white, or orange text, like mine here, was really hurting their eyes. I laughed at myself to read that, and not hesitated on commenting to their thread.

You know why I choosed black and white for my blog? Orange is an optional color for a link text in my blog. Black and white is my favorite colors, it also means a lot for everything in all of our lifes. The good and the bad, better or worst, happy and sad, angels and demons, etc. If you ever went to Bali Island or asking to an Hindustani people about the meaning of blank and white colors, you'll know what I mean!

Another Way To Boost Your SEO Rankings

A bad post is worst than no post at all

Did you ever heard the sentence above before? I'm 50% agree with that idea. You know why? Your blog content might be become the king, and then your blog design appearance should be the queen. If no post is better than a bad post or just a huge image on a blog, then why do you make a blog? Blog at first time was a kind of digital diary. People were posting to their blog to express their thought, mind, and share their expertise, and experience. No matter if there any readers that visit their blogs.

Back to the topic. If blog appearance is the queen, a way to beautify your blog is by creating slideshows. A beautiful and functional slideshow to improve your website performance, you should try SlideDeck.

But.... Wait a minute..

Sometimes SEOs and site owners encounter some problems. Their sites were suddenly going down in the search engine results pages, for no particular reason. It's hard to figure out why your rank dived to the last pages. Let's consider possible reasons and solutions to the problem.

• Got penalized or banned by Google
  As stated in Google Webmaster Guidelines, one must not participate in link schemes. Buying/ selling links, create doorway pages, or use hidden text. These are considered illegitimate SEO practices and may bring Google's wrath.

  If your site gets penalized, find out what might have caused this. Read Google's Webmaster Guidelines and remove whatever is in violation from your site.

• Search engine algorithm has changed
  Search engines are trying to keep their search results as relevant and SPAM free as possible. By increasing number of websites on the Internet today, search engines are forced to tweak their search algos to keep spammers at bay. Google's algorithm Panda was intended to do away with sites that provide poor quality content.

  It also affected groups of sites that have significant duplicate content by nature, such as e-commerce sites, online directories, etc. First of all, if you are doing SEO and you really mean it, you should be informed about what's new in the Search Engine.

• Your website's content got stolen or got banned for copyright infringement
  If your rank suddenly dropped, that could be because someone has stolen the content from your site and posted it somewhere else on the Web. Search engines sometimes lower both sites's ranks. Eventually, they are likely to start ranking your site as high as they used to before the incident. Once they realize who copied whose content. This may take some time.

  Banned for copyright infringement that is your site used somebody else's content to boost your site's rank. The owner of the content may have filed a DMCA request or reported your site to Google for copyright infringement. Then you should remove the duplicate content.

• Competitors beat you in the SERPs
  Your rank may go down just because a competing site manages to boost their rankings to a substantial degree. If this is the case, analyze competitor's site and see in what way they are better than yours. Pay attention to their backlinks, keyword density, social media popularity and act.

• Your site backlinks have been removed
  Due to backlinks with top Google positions pointing to your site's being removed, resulting your site rank drop. Check the backlinks pointing to your site. If this happens, you should get these links back or get similar backlinks from other websites.

Sometimes unexpected things happen. Google removed 11 million domains from its index, all on one day. Hope that will not happen to your site.
