Google PageRank 4 in Four Months

Posted by Steve | July 28th, 2008

Relevant Ads’ new search marketing company, Elaborate SEM, received a PR4 in the lastest Google Toolbar PageRank update. Elaborate SEM offers search engine marketing services, so it’s no wonder that the company achieved such a high PageRank in such a short period of time.

Here’s how they did it:

  • Start with great, search engine-friendly content
  • Do a press release with a service like PRWeb and PRNewswire (include keyword-rich backlinks)
  • Get a stellar Link Builder to compell a few hundred webmasters to link to the website
  • Network, network, network. Think LargestMixer.com, workshops, and free Meetup.com groups

Search engine optimization (SEO) all comes down to two very important principles: Great Content (SEO/CTR) and Popularity (links/traffic/visibility)

Watch for us to get a PageRank 5 by the next refresh of the Google Toolbar. Aging is an important criteria mixed into the popularity algorithm used by the toolbar, so I expect it will take us at least a couple of years to get to a PR7, we’ll see.

    I snagged this, looks good. I also subbed to your feed. I like your site, handy stuff here. I especially like the Open ports utility which I will also grab.

    Not currently, but with a bit of work this is possible as well.
