Google question, does pagerank for somesite.com increases if another site contains only a link in text like http://www .somesite.com and not a clickable link with <a href=..? Please explain, thanks!

No it has to be in <a href tag and the page rank improves if you get links from multiple websites and is more effective from a website link with higher page rank.\n\nAnother thing to keep in mind is the page rank is equally distributed to all external links going out from that particular page. For eg. if your website is linked from a webpage with only your link with Page Rank 3 will be better than from a website with page rank 6 with 5 external links.

It sounds like maybe your site is new. You would want to have lots of significant content on the site so that the web "spiders" can find your site and index its significance. Once that's done, your browser likely will work in the manner you want it to. That's a function of the browser working together with your preferred search engine.

Several criteria determine the amount of traffic your website gets but by far the most important are to have a good search engine ranking and good links to your site.\n\nSearch engines use a complicated and secret algorithm to determine which sites are placed where in the rankings but there are several tricks you can employ to boost you ranking.\n\nThere's lots of articles on the net to do with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) but I ignore all of them and do things my way.  This seems to work as every site I've created ranks within the top 6 on Google even when there's millions of results found.  A site I created less than a week ago is already ranked number 1 by Yahoo and Google.\n\nThese are some of my tips...\n\n-- GIVE YOUR PAGE A GOOD TITLE TAG --\nOne of the first things a search engine looks at is the title tag of the page. When writing the tag use the same words people are likely to key in when using a search engine.  For example, if your page is about space travel then a title such as "Space Travel - Be a Shuttle Rocket Tourist and Journey to the Moon" is much better than "All about flying to the moon and back".  Why?  Because the first tag includes words people are likely to use in a search engine such as space, travel, shuttle, rocket, tourist, journey and moon.\n\n-- GIVE YOUR PAGE A RELEVANT NAME --\nSearch engines look at page names.  If your domain was mydomain.com then a page name such as mydomain.com/space-travel will do much better than mydomain.com/section1/part2/page3.\n\n-- USE THE DESCRIPTION TAG --\nSome search engines including Google support this tag - others don't.  \n\nCompare a Yahoo search for 'Black Eyed Peas' to a Google Search.  Both of them find blackeyedpeas.com but Yahoo describe it as "... Multi-platinum 2-time Grammy-winners The Black Eyed Peas cross an historic threshold as their hit ... The Black Eyed Peas, Sergio Mendes, John Legend, Justin Timberlake and others ...".  Google uses the description tag and describes it as "Official site includes videos, message boards, tour dates, and photo gallery. Additional content is available to members."\n\n-- USE THE ALT TAG --\nSome search engines ignore the alt tag, others include it when spidering your site.  Not only that but some visually impaired users and power-surfers who turn off images rely on alt tags.\n\n-- FLASH ANIMATION / SCRIPTING / DHTML --\nSpiders are unable to follow these linking systems.  If all your pages are linked using Flash, DHTML or scripts then the spider won't follow the links and your pages won't get indexed.  If you're designing your site this way the least you can do it to include conventional text links to the main pages of your site and ideally to a Site Map that contains text links to every page.\n\n-- SPLASH PAGES --\nThese are the animated front pages to a site, usually nothing there other than an animation and a 'Skip Intro' link.  Spiders don't like Splash and as this is the doorway to your site think carefully before creating one.\n\n-- DOORWAY PAGES --\nThese are pages that exist on a site but are not accessible to the visitor, if someone tries to access the page they are redirected elsewhere.  Historically webmasters created such pages and stuffed them full of popular keywords and phrases.  \n\nSpiders have wised up to Doorways and there's nothing better for getting yourself pushed right down in the rankings or kicked out altogether than use of Doorway Pages.\n\n-- HIDDEN TEXT --\nSome web pages hide text by printing white text on a white background for example.  Often such text has nothing at all to do with the site but is just a list of popular words and phrases used to draw people to the site.  Spiders can spot tricks like these and will penalise sites that employ such tactics.\n\n-- PUT A HEADING ON YOUR PAGE --\nThe heading should closely match the page title.  You need to format the heading as a Heading Style a

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page just like paper encyclopedia only better\n \nwhat a search engine does is spider the net and look for web pages with key words in them that the rank  then when you look for something with the keyword in the document  it will display a list of document where the key word was found.

The first step is to submit your site in the search engines. But that will not make your site appear high in the search terms you want because search engines look for several factors in giving top rankings to sites.\n\nSearch engines look at the following factors in ranking websites, though in varying degrees of importance:\n\n- Age of the Content \n- Keyword density \n- How it fares in the results \n- Site structure \n- Backlinks\n\nIf you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm \n\nWebmasterWorld.com http://www.webmasterworld.com has different sections that cover various aspects of search engine optimization, and each section is participated in by respected webmasters and even search engine employees (e.g. there's a GoogleGuy that responds to Google topics)\n\nOther resources that can help you get top ranking in the search engines are:\n\nGoogle Press Releases http://googlepress.blogspot.com/ \nMatt Cutts Blog http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/  (Matt is a Google software engineer)\nDigitalpoint Yahoo Forums http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=6\nSearchEngineWatch's MSN Forums http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/forumdisplay.php?f=8\nSEO for Google http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/google.htm\nSEO for Yahoo! http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/yahoo.htm\nSEO for MSN http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/msn.htm\nTying It Together: SEO For The Big Three http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/seo.htm\n\nAs for tools to help you get top rankings in the search engine, here are some of the best in the field today\n\nTotal Optimizer Pro http://www.totaloptimizer.com/\nKeyword density tool http://googlerankings.com/ultimate_seo_tool.php\nGoogle Sitemaps (to help Google index your pages faster) https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/siteoverview?hl=en

Your page rank is generally synonymous to the relevance of keywords. Indeed it is and will continue to be a major factor for the relevance in the search results. \n\nTo raise your page rank, following is my answer:\nI could have gone on lenght on answering your query. At the first part, one need's to understand the meaning of page rank. You can study a detailed article on it at http://www.webworkshop.net/pagerank.html\n\nIn short, here's an example. There's an election and several candidates have stood up. Its natural that the guy with the most votes wins. Analogously, whenever a external page links to your website, it casts a vote for your website. So, when you search for a relevant keyword for your pages, the results come as per the no of links that you have collected.\n\nTo get more links, you can ask some of your friends who have website to put link to your website. The more the links, the higher is your rank in google results. An alternative is to start your own blog on 3-4 websites, and in each blog, put a link to your website. Indeed, if your site has quality content, mpressed visitors start linking you, specially the blogging community.\n\nAnother important part is that who links you. For example, if you get a link from a website which already has a high page rank, you automatically get a better rank. For example, if you get a link from microsoft.com or cnet.com, which have a highest page ranks, your rank shoots up automatically.\n\nGoogle rank is composed of many other factors, but the only factor it misses out is the popularity by visitors who go to the links directly. Yahoo does a good job by keeping that into account. If you carefully see the link that are seen in the Yahoo search results, a similar vote is also casted by clicking on the link in the search results. It could be possible that your website has huge no. of visitors who come through searches, but small number of links. Then its Yahoo rank would be high (more accurate), but google rank would be low. There have been many such interesting cases, so don't just consider google as your only target. Why google does not keep this 'click popularity' feature is because it takes a certain delay of time( for registering of vote on Yahoo and forwarding to the actual link), which Google does not want to take.\n\nThings You Should Never Do In Life:\nNever try to promote your site commercially from spamsters. Some of their sites are banned from google database. And if they give a link to your website, your page rank drops down drastically, and even might get removed from the search results. Also, do not link to their websites.\n\nThis is the solution to crux of your problem. You can read further on such search engine optimizations at the following sites :\n\nhttp://wolfram.org/writing/howto/3.html\nhttp://www.ssw.com.au/SSW/Standards/Rules/RulestoBetterGoogleRankings.aspx\nhttp://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol3/promo_no16.htm\nhttp://us.ecademy.com/node.php?id=58077\nhttp://www.paramountwebmasters.com/improve_my_rankings_on_google.php\nhttp://www.graphic-design.com/Web/increase_rank.html

Hi Stephen,\n\nWhen you publish your site with Yahoo!, we automatically submit your site to Yahoo! Search, but unfortunately this doesn't always mean that your site will beat out other sites in the search results -- there's a lot of competition out there, and many sites jockeying for the same top spots.\n\nThere are several things you can do to make your site easier to find, from adding keywords to your pages and sending out email newsletters to signing up for a "pay-for-placement" service like Yahoo! Sponsored Search, which is aimed at small businesses and can be very affordable.

Well, not really. (making alot of sense) There's a way to link someone's website to certain search words by somehow putting the term on it and then hoarding it with links to that term. Google works by how many links your website takes hits on and that determines how high up on the search you come. It really isn't a coincidence.

Google has a proprietary way of ranking sites.  When their web crawlers hit a site, they not only store the text on the page, they also make note of the links and what the name of the links are.  If you have a lot of sites that have a link on them called 'failure' and they all link to the same site, then google relates the word failure to that site.  This is what happened in this case.  A bunch of web site owners put this named link on their site pointing to the biography of George Bush.

You need an expert linkbuilder but remember google pagerank is just one factor in getting your keywords ranked at the top of google . You need onsite optimization(optimization of the meta-tags, htags, header and title optimization and this is the easy work. You then need a professional link builder that knows certain techniques that can get u inbound links. Remember reciprocal links (your link on their page for their link on your page) is just about worthless after their last few updates. YOu need relevant inbound links on other google indexed links.\nI will email u some info on a good link builder.

They only have one page in the Yahoo! index. Type:\nhttp://workingoffers.com in the search box you can see the page.\n\nOne reason might be because they have no inbound links.  Type:\nlinkdomain:workingoffers.com into the search box.  Inbound links are a major factor in website ranking.

the amount of hits you get will increase gradually over time, it also depends how much and what content you have on a site.search engines bring a lot of hits

Any time you provide the full URL for a link in a CURRENT text editor it becomes a link you can click to attempt internet access.  For most purposes a full URL starts with the seven characters, 'http://'. So, if you start with 'www', you have not provided the protocol necessary to make an active link. There are other protocols, but, then you might need a different web-browser application than the normal default.\n\nNote: Some websites hide the full URL associated with a link. The HTML separates the display of the link from the real link. This can be used to abbreviate long URLs for readability. READER BEWARE: It can also be used to mislead the reader into going to website unrelated to the displayed link.\n\nThe 'click here' links also have a Full hidden URL.\nTypos in hidden URLs can also be annoying.

Google reads the keywords meta tag but does not index the keywords.  You can prove this for yourself by inserting a unique word in your keywords meta tag and then after a suitable period observing if your page appears in Google on a search for that word. It will not!\n\nThe reason search engines ignore this tag is because it is very easily abused and it is not uncommon to see very long keyword stuffed text strings in this meta on pages constructed by ignorant web designers.

These are not entirely true.  Site Maps DO help page rank.  Most notably, they provide two advantages.  First, the site map provides a resource for users to find otherwise hidden content.  For instance, a user may reach a 404 error on a page.  Having these errors redirect to the site map will help more users find the content they need on the site.  While Google's techniques are not fully disclosed, the amount of time spent on the site, number of pages, and so on definitely help the rankings.  Nothing is worse in rankings than having an individual access the page and back out.  Google interprets this as a user not finding the content they needed on the page--thus, not pertinent information.\n\nSecond, the site map can help the crawlers or robots search through your site to find the relevant pages.  Just make sure to include a follow link in your meta tags.

To see on how many sites are linking to a site in Yahoo Search: \n\nlink: finds documents that link to a particular url. \nNote that the URL must include: http://\n\nExample: link:http://www.shahabjafri.com will show the sites linking to my blog.
