Trying To Make Money Blogging

Today I had a nice surprise, I returned from my holiday to find I had a pr 3. This was something I definitely wasn’t expecting, but I must admit, I have been working hard to improve my backlinks. I guess my hard work has paid off.

Page Rank?
A Google description:

Google assigns a numeric weighting from 0-10 for each webpage on the Internet; this PageRank denotes a site’s importance in the eyes of Google. The scale for PageRank is logarithmic like the Richter Scale and roughly based upon quantity of inbound links as well as importance of the page providing the link.

The benefits of page rank

• Advertisers are willing to pay more to advertise on your site. As far as I’m aware, I’ve never charged people to advertise on this blog. Now I have page rank I think I might start to. The links that I already have on this blog will stay free of charge. Another benefit of page rank is I’m now able to go for higher paying pay per post jobs. I don’t do paid posts so this really doesn’t mean anything to me.

• Other sites with page rank may now want to do link exchanges with me. This means that I will be receiving even more backlinks of value.

• Google will crawl my blog more often. This is because of the number of incoming links I have. This should improve my SERPs because the more content Google indexes, the more keywords I can rank for.

I’m not a SEO expert so the information above may not be %100 accurate. I guess the biggest question now is how exactly did I achieve my page rank? Well unfortunately I don’t have the time to tell you how I achieved mine just yet. As I mentioned at the start of this post, I’ve just returned from a holiday and I still have lots of unpacking to do. In my next post I’ll explain in detail exactly what I’ve done.
