[Ron]

Friends

I was doing A Search Engine Optimization work for one of my friends.
His site is Picovico.com - SlideShow Maker
I tried searching the net how to increase the page rank and all but didnot get good concept regarding it. Some says the ranking is automatic while other say we need to tweak the site.
Can u provide me some help with that how to increase the page rank of a site and how google helps in page index.

Google Page Rank is calculated on the basis of the number of incoming links.
While if u experiment with the Meta - Description and Meta - Keyword tags, u might end getting a good SEO score that will result in higher page ranks of the website.
Also do make sure that your tags are correct ie. you have an alt text for image etc.

My website is almost 5 years old & never featured even in the first 5 pages of Google's search results. But recently when I experimented with the description tag, my Website is now shown as No.3 in World (google.COM search results) and No.2 in India (google.CO.IN) for the keywords I gave !

So experimenting with these tags can get the website a higher rank. Check your SEO score HERE.

Hope this helps..

As mentioned, I experimented with the Meta Description and Keyword Tag.

Things u could do are:

1. The Meta Description Tag has an infinite length. BUT Search Engines generally read only the first 160 characters. So make sure that the description is well within the limit.

2. Also whatever is placed in this tag, must appear somewhere in the page. If not the whole of it but atleast majority of what is written in the Meta Description Tag.

3. Make sure there are no Broken links on the Homepage firstly.

4. Make sure the ALT tag in <img> tag are not blank.

5. Make a sitemap.xml file and upload to your server. Make use of the Google Webmaster tools to improve the rankings.

In my example you could try searching with " Unique vegetarian Recipes".
doing all this things will definitely improve your rankings.

Hope this helps..

First thing first, content is king and don't expect to get good Google page rank withing few days.

How Rank your pages: the number of incoming links for other "related" niche websites. Unrelated websites having your links will downgrade your page rank. and the SERP is also based on the same even if two sites have same content, the ranking will be based on the page rank.

A good and excellent example is search Google with this keyword : 'click here'
The result will show first page as Adobe because most of the sites on interment have linked 'click here' keyword to adobe reader page and the actual 'click here' keyword appear only once on that result page.
so the page rank depend upon incoming link and the SERP rank depend upon page rank.

also, meta description should be limited to 160 words because the result page do not display more words. Also avoid keyword farming, Google understand that, be natural.

Avoid auto submission of links to any back-linking services.

USE Google WEBMASTER. Its must, unless Google index your site, you never get the PR.

Learn , NoFollow and external nofollow.
test loading speed of your website and one more thing, Google do not update page rank daily so don't check it daily. Wait for 3-4 months. Its a periodic process.
Hope this is informative. I am also learning, and what i learned is Content is king. And also your friends can help you to increase your page rank. Google also consider 'social sharing' and visitors activity on page. I read article about it but not finding the link. Will give you afterwords.

You don't need to find any automatic program to create back-links. Even though you find some paid link jungle or even free, don't use it. Google blacklist such link jungle.

If you have good and ORIGINAL content, visitors will automatically create backlinks to your site by recommending it to others on various forums, social networks and other places on the internet and that's the quality back-link. You can also keep commenting on various tech forums and social networks.

Also Please learn about the "PLUS 1" button of Google Plus. That is how Google track the visitors activity and their recommendation. when someone +1 your site, that means he / she is recommending that content to other meaning a good quality content.

[Ron]

Exactly Search depends upon Google Plus Activity too but many ppl objected me. I have added this feature.

Quality links works evrytime but wht steps should we follow as a start up. How can we make our site popular?
I am following all ONpage Optimization

Or if you want it to happen soon you can pay for it.
I know that nokia use to pay crores of rupees just to optimize one word that is mobile a long time back.

[techiemaharaj]

Simple things to make ur site popular is make it as your signature in Forums and post as much as possible. Social activities will also help. Make a facebook page, a twitter handle etc. and engage with ppl. Send newsletters periodically to ur users. All this will surely make ur site popular.

BUT KEEP IN MIND, WEBSITES DONT BECOME POPULAR IN A WINK OF AN EYE, IT TAKES ITS OWN TIME.

If u want it quick go for the above option !

Google is in the transition phase .. moving from SEO to social. It's gonna be more hard to SEO your way up in the SERPs

SEO is a long and tidy process.. soemthing that worked for me doesn't guarantee that it'll work for you.. due to the various big and small algorithms deployed by google. But yeah, best you can do is on-site SEO which is mentioned by others already.

[Steve Smith]

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can be stated as a highly specialized process of building a successful website. We say successful because if a commercial website cannot be found in the major search engines, it is not successful, it just isn't doing it's job.

[Yogendra Mishra]

You should also all off Page works Like Directory Submition, Forum Posting, Link Exchange etc..
