SEO and Page Rank

Often new search engine optimization enthusiasts discuss page rank(PR) and their disappointed that the page does not achieve a higher score. Page rank is nothing but an "indicator" of how popular a page is or not. Pages that have a PR0 may just as well out rank a page that has a significantly higher score.

I have had a site with absolutely no page rank that was positioned "above the fold" for a local highly sought after topic. Finally, when I sought out some inbound links the page rank jumped from PR0 to PR3 almost overnight. I really never watched it that closely but when I checked it had suddenly taken a big jump.

Now with a page that has a high PR that links to another page or website will help that page more than a page linking to it with no page rank. A web page with one PR3 linking to another page or site is more valuable than three PR1's linking to it and so forth.

And finally, do consumers value page rank when they visit a site? Most consumers have no idea what page rank is and could really care less. After all, is the product that is being sold relevant to the page rank?

Black Hat Scare Tactics

A really disturbing trend I see in the Search Engine Optimization industry is for so-called SEO professionals to either blog for hysteria or report it on their own website stating, "Blackhat Professional SEOers are on the loose". I suppose they are suggesting they be hired through the mass hysteria that will next leave small babies vulnerable.

This is THE FIRST sign that something is amiss; pointing to others and 'how they are bad'. These unethical tactics run amuck from small agencies to large. I have seen one agency boastings, from one of the largest US cities, they are #1 on MSN but further results show they are 468 place on Yahoo and do not even place within 100 pages of Google which is 1,000 placings in the search engine results pages (SERPs).

The above "agency" was from the North US. Here is what came from a Southern US SEO agency: 'WE WILL SEE YOU GET TO #1 ON GOOGLE!' Fact is, they cannot even place on the first page of google with their city name and SEO. So how can they promise first place on Google when they cannot make to the first page of Google for 'City SEO'.

The best thing for clients to learn is investigate. PERIOD.

SEO Companies Positioning

Wow. One company from a major U.S. city announced how they were number 1 on MSN and how they were such big shots in the Search Engine Optimization- SEO community and how they were ranked in the search engine result placements (SERP). Analysis reveals, yes, numbero uno for MSN but for yahoo? Number 486 and Google? Not within 1,000 results for their city and "SEO".

Anything else to say? Oh, SEO-Metro is claiming nada.
