Hi,

Previously I have concentrated on getting our online games as good as possible. Lately I have been reading alot about site optimation and such.

I noticed that when searching for 'Online Wrestling' on google our wrestling game comes up as number 1. This is of course giving some new players but I am confused as to why we are number 1. There is not many pages linking to our wrestling game so the only reason I can see is that the phrase 'online wrestling' is part of the html title tag.

Please comment, want to understand this

Although there are almost 3million competing pages you are probably ranking as well as you are because of your PR and you have 20 backlinks for that page. I'm assuming that these backlinks must be pretty high PR sites themselves.

Most of the backlinks comes from my other game related sites I think.

What do you mean by "high PR sites" ?

PR = Pagerank.

You're ranking as well as you are because "online wrestling" is not that competitve of a keyword.

If you search allinanchor:online wrestling in Google you will see there are only about 13,000 competing pages that use "online wrestling" in anchortext.

The search allintitle:online wrestling reveals only about 11,000 people have online wrestling in the title of the page.

Anchortext links and page title are two of the most important factors in the serps as far as Google goes. Get some more links with the anchortext online wrestling and should be able to lock the top spot up.

You can download the google toolbar, and when you visit a site, it will tell you what the rank of that site is at the top!

A good example of anchortext is my signature in these posts.

Hi again,

I checked my PR with the google toolbar. It says 5/10 for http://vow.plit.dk. I presume that means that my page have a PR of 5.

Is 5 a good or a bad number ?

I presume I can increase it by getting more quality pages to link to me, is there any other way ?

Peter

Five is real good, get a six and I'd say you have bragging rights.

LOL...Pagerank is really quite worthless. If your not bringing in the hits then nothing else matters.

Hi,

Of course you need hits but in that area I am doing better than I thought I would be. But that does not mean that I should stop trying to improve

PR is worthless to argue over. If you are not on the high-end of 7 going on 8+ then you are basicly on a level playing field regardless of your PR.

I can have a PR2 page rank higher in the SERPS than a PR5 by virtue of onpage factors and anchor text (internal and external). In fact, I have seen a PR0 page rank number one once ... albeit it was not a competitive term.

There are hundreds of factors that go into the ranking of pages with the Google algo, and PR is only just one of them.

Ronnie,

We agree on that. I meant that PR can be a measuring stick...so can alexa, so can unique hits in. Without looking at the big picture all 3 can be worthless.
