Since I am learning so much about blogs and promoting them, I thought I would share a few things I have learnt to date, and that I have applied.

This week the key learning point has been getting my Page Rank higher.

This is a fairly important aspect to getting search engine traffic. The reasoning being is that the Page Rank indicates how close you are to the top spot for particular keywords.

The higher up you are in the list, the more traffic you get for free, and the people clicking the search engine links tend to be people looking for what you are doing.

Needless to say, it is a good thing to know a little bit about this subject. This is what I have learnt this week.

In order to get a higher PageRank there is a simple thing you can do, but first the theory behind the practice.

Every site gets ranked against keywords. One thing search engines look for is hyperlinks to other sites and hyperlinks leading to your site. The thinking behind this is when a person adds a link to their site it is a vote of trust in your site. This is a good thing.

This means the more links pointing to your site the better the Page Rank.

But there is more that can help you.

Most people focus entirely on getting links to their site. But there is almost equal value to having links that lead to other pages in your own site.

Let me repeat that….. putting in a link within your site adds value to your site ranking.

Amazing but true, and it is something you can control.

My guess is that you should apply this to your site, but do not over do it.

Now for the practice, remember this site is an online fantasy novel, if you want to read the first chapter of my fantasy novel click here.
