With all that said, let’s assume you would like to take the white hat road to PR SEO. It may be more time consuming and take a little more work, but you’ll ultimately be doing something quite nice for yourself, your visitors and customers, and the web in general. And you’ll be providing something of value. Finally, the foundation of what you are building (your website) will ultimately be stronger and much longer lasting.
I’m going to share with you my personal plan for optimizing one of my own new website over the next six months to a year. That’s right, it may be a year before you will see the fruits of your hard labor. But if you want success with SEO and marketing your website, the kind of success that means 5,000, 10,000 or even 15,000 visitors each day, then just know it will be worth it. An interesting thing that I’ve learned, and this is really very helpful, is that giving yourself an expanded, slowed down timetable for your website’s SEO (like one year), will help you keep the proper perspective and maintain the patience you will need to not just give up. Google works at their own speed and cannot be rushed too quickly (if you stay with the white hat approach). Just know that if you have recently launched your site and are sitting at PR zero, you need to give yourself several months before you typically will see any kind of jump at all. Also know that Google will hold back making public a new site’s actual PR (one showing zero) for up to several months to keep the playing field fair. In their view, having a brand new site jump to PR five, would be more problematic in the long run. So take heart that your site may in fact be climbing in page rank far before you actually see the results. Once you do start seeing movement, continue being patient.
Tried and True Google PR Success
Okay, I’m going to give you a very abbreviated list of things you can do to consistently improve your site’s PR ranking. This is basically my list of how I’m taking my own brand new site to a PR five within the next year or so:
