You can now keep tabs on all the updates on all your favourite sites and blogs in one place using the new Google Reader.
Just click on the "Add to Google" icon towards the bottom of the right hand colum here and follow the easy intsructions. If you already use "my Yahoo" you may prefer that option.
You can then view all the updates on this blog plus any other sites you choose to add in one simple page. No more flicking through all your favourite websites to see if they have updated.
Several IFAs have contacted me (use the "comments" please guys) about Google Page Rank commonly known as Google PR.
Almost all believed that "page rank" means the position in which their site appeared in Google. It actually has NOTHING to do with that although it WILL affect where your site is placed. So, at the risk of repeating myself here is a simple guide to Google PR.
Page Rank is the system (named after Google founder Larry PAGE) Google uses to classify the "importance" of a website. Page Ranks vary from 0-10. I have never actually seen a"10" - it only gives google.com a 9.
You can read more about Page Rank at www.google.com/technologly/
You can see your sites PR (and that of any site you visit) by installing the Google Toolbar here
If you don't want yet another toolbar you can check any sites PR value here
Now to the crunch - if you want your website to appear well in google you MUST get a high PR - higher than 2 at very least and preferably a 4 or 5.
Google PR is ONLY applied by the quality of INCOMING links you have to your site. For exampke if you have 10 links IN and they all have a PR of zero then your PR will be zero. In an ideal world you will get thousands of inbound links all with PR3+ but this is very time consuming.
The easiest way is to BUY in some high PR links but these tend to be expensive at around £30 per month per link (if PR5 or above).
The BEST site I have ever found for link purchase is www.buyabutton.net (see previous post titled Achieve a High google Page Rank Quickly). The reason it's so good it that it has a ONE OFF FIXED price for a link of £25 NOT an ongoing monthly fee and it is a whopping PR6 site.
If you put the word MEL in the subject bar when you buy the link you will get the £5 upgrade (take the bold text version) FREE.
Remember this is just the START - you need as many inbound links as possible either purchased or self-generated. If you don't do these then you will simply fall behind other IFAs who ARE building links and we know who will be getting all the business don't we!!??
If you have questions just leave a "comment" and I will answer in the blog.
