Is Google PageRank ( PR ) the be - all, end - all of the internet marketing equation?

I have wanted to compare notes this topic for entirely a long time. But, there is risk in discussing this topic. It is a lot like religion and politics. We are advised not to converse religion or politics in mixed company, because people are happy to altercate and sometimes kill, based solely on your disagreement with their religious or political beliefs.

In a lot of ways, Google PR is a matter of religion to some internet marketers. And for me to weigh this topic openly is tantamount to telling someone that his or her religion is false religion.

Many of my competitor ‘ s who read this article will run to their soapbox as soon as I am done, and they will pronounce to the heavens that I am an dunderhead.

I will let you be your own assessor.

How I Draw My Conclusions

I own one website that has so far served more than 100, 000 unique visitors in the first nine months of 2006. The same site has served well over one million page views, since the beginning of 2006. I often use the statistics from this website to measure trends in the marketplace, since the unique visitors and page views are of a substantial level.

The Importance of Google In The Internet Marketplace

Just because I am questioning the value of Google ‘ s PR in the grand scheme of things, it does not mean I am questioning the domination of Google in the marketplace.

The statistics on the previously mentioned website exhibit the dominance of Google against their competitors. Here is how my search engine referrals break down:

* 37 Search Engines have sent me traffic. * 78. 1 % of visitors were sent from Google. * 18. 4 % came from Yahoo, Ask Jeeves / Ask, MSN * 1. 5 % arrived from AOL, Dogpile, Netscape, Earthlink, Altavista, Alexa. * 98. 0 % of all search engine referral traffic arrived from the Top Ten Referring Search Engines.

So hands down, Google is the MOST important element for my search engine marketing.

The Big idea of Google PR

Google has often said that their PR system is an integral part of their search algorithms.

According to Google ‘ s own label, this is the definition of PR is as follows:

” PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an single page ‘ s value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the bona fide situation of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves ‘ important ‘ discuss more heavily and help to make other pages ‘ important. ‘ ”

Since PR utilizes a count of the number of links pointing to a website as a measure of PR value, professional internet marketers are very engrossed in acquiring large numbers of inbound links for their websites.

PageRank values also allow you to decide whom you might want to do a link exchange ( if you do such things ).

The Pros and Cons of Buying PR

Professional internet marketers are also obsessed in getting links on pages with an contemporary large PR.

With Google ‘ s definition of PR, this makes sense.

PROS:

* When you buy links on pages that immediate have a significant PR, then you can gain that value with much less work involved. * You can bulk up your own PR in very short order.

CONS:

* Most sites that sell links on their high PR pages only do so on a monthly or quarterly basis, so this expense will be an developing for as long as you want to hold onto that value. * Depending on the PR of the page where the link is being obsessed, the cost can be very high. Many webmasters decide how much they will charge for advertising on their website, according to the PR assigned to their website. * The powers - that - be at Google warns us away from buying text links to increase our own PR. They tell us by paradigm, pointing to the SearchKing devaluation in Google, as the result of SearchKing ‘ s paid linking scheme: http: / / news. com. com / Judge + dismisses + suit + against + Google / 2100 - 1032 _3 - 1011740. html * The Google power broker Matt Cutts stated matter - of - factly that we should not ” participate in link schemes designed to increase ( our ) site ‘ s ranking or PR, ” as stated in the Google quality guidel!
ines. He went on to say that Google ” does consider buying text links for PR purposes to be outside our Google ‘ s quality guidelines. ” Read the full story in interpretation here: http: / / www. mattcutts. com / blog / text - links - and - PR /

If you continue reading the comments on Matt ‘ s blog about the text links and PR, take a moment to search out the comment on the subject from Dan Thies ( http: / / www. seoresearchlabs. com / ). Dan asked Matt at the end of his post to define the ” algorithm for determining intent ” of the person placing the link. Bravo Dan.

Google Toolbar Role In PR Monitoring

Just like any discussion of paid links and PR, people boost to get fired up.

Just the other day, I read a different thread on Google PR. In that thread at http: / / forums. Site - Reference. com, someone said that the importance of the Google Toolbar was the visible PR that shows up in the toolbar.

( PR value is only exported to the Toolbar at regular intervals. According to the ” Page Rank Update and Export List History ” page, the PR information was last exported to the Google Toolbar on September 28, 2006: http: / / www. seocompany. ca / PR / page - rank - update - list. html )

The poster I mentioned above had stated that the importance of the Google Toolbar was the visible PR that buyers use to observe the trust factor attached to a website. He said that when people view the PR, then they would be assured that the company from whom they are about to purchase from is a reputable company.

I had to disagree.

The only people who have the Google Toolbar installed in their machine are online marketers. Perhaps that is a wide paintbrush, but it is not very far from the truth.

Because most people who use the Toolbar are online marketers, then they will be the only people for whom the little green PR bar has any meaning.

The Real Importance of Google ‘ s PR

How many times have you heard that the value your website holds with the Google PR system will make or break your website ‘ s ability to gain traffic from Google?

How many of you actually believe that?

Here is where I am going to get people excited.

I launched a site with zero PR in the first week of September. Within four days, I had page one placement in Google. Let me repeat that for you. Within four days of a website ‘ s launch, I had a website with PR 0, no official backlinks according to Google, and page one search results in Google!

Okay, I admit… It was a memorial website: http: / / www. GoodbyeSteveIrwin. com

I have several search keyword phrases in Google that produce page one, two and three results. Right now, the search phrase ” irwin nature conservation ” brings up my memorial site as the #3 result.

You might tell yourself that I was able to do this because it arrived at a time when Steve Irwin was the only new story. But, I have created results like this with several websites. The Steve Irwin site was not a fluke. The Steve Irwin site was simply the fifth site that I was able to reach page one of Google search results within two weeks of site launch, with zero backlinks according to Google, and zero PR.

So, let me ask you again how important the Google PR system is for guaranteeing the placement of your website on page one of Google ‘ s search results?

You be the judge.

Traffic Links Vs. PR Links

Previously I mentioned my website that I use to measure trends in search engine marketing. Here is another interesting bit of data that I pulled from my website statistics for that domain:

* 53 % inbound traffic comes from search engines * 47 % inbound traffic comes from links on third - party websites ( not from search engines ) * Both values exclude people who visited my site as a result of bookmarks for my site or clicks directly from an email

If you break down the numbers even further, you will find the Google powerhouse is responsible for 41. 4 % of my gross inbound traffic from another website. And my website receives 47 % of its traffic from websites that are not search engines.

Wow! My website is getting considerably more traffic from links on websites that are not search engines, than what it is getting from Google! Interesting.

Perhaps now you understand why I have always focused on getting permanent links on third - party websites that will send me traffic for years to come.

How Many Links Are Traffic Links?

This traffic arrived at my site from a total of 12, 876 external webpages. If you ask the search engines how many links I have to my website on external pages, they will NOT show you a number of links anywhere near this number. In fact, MSN shows the largest number of inbound links to my website. And MSN only shows that I have 2, 164 links pointing to my website. That is a number that is six times lower than the number of external webpages that actually send me human visitors!

You would be surprised how many PR 0, 1 and 2 pages are actually sending me real traffic. Real traffic converts into real sales. And I am getting more traffic from these nowhere links, than what I am getting from the Holy Grail of Google.

In Conclusion…

Let me repeat the question that I opened this article with, ” Is Google PageRank the be - all, end - all of internet marketing? ”

I offer a resounding, ” No! ”

Is Google PageRank the Holy Grail of internet marketing?

” No. ”

Do you need to put your links on pages that have high PR?

” No. ”

I feel good that Google says that my PR is a Five. It makes me feel that I am gaining ground in the Google algorithms. And it boosts my human ego. But, for every keyword phrase that really matters to my business, I am already on page one of the search results, with a measly PR of 5, and no real backlinks to speak of according to the brilliance of the Google algorithms.

The usual cynic’s choice is to ask, what would you quite have, fame without power or power without fame? Yet even a cursory look at contemporary society reveals that celebrities have managed to devise a third choice: fame with power.

There is no shortage of for instances. Take Ronald Regan, who went from fame in Hollywood to power in Washington. Or Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has so far gone from fame in Hollywood to power in Sacramento, with his eyes on DC, if his advocates can only get the constitution amended so that a born Austrian can run like a born American. Obsessed the proportion of immigrants who now inhabit the land, the likelihood of Presidential power for the Terminator is little out of the question.

Of course, there are also junior and more numerous instances of the celebrity’s ability to combine fame with power. How about Mel Gibson, arrested for DWI and a month later we noticed that the arresting principal was being investigated?

Or Barbra Streisand telling a fan to shut up with a word that is not often accepted in public discourse and then blithely continuing her tour. What if a relatively powerless person like a Senator, say, John Kerry had said the ‘F” word, as in getting “stuck in f - ing Iraq? ” The man would have been sent beyond temporary oblivion and been made to resign from the Senate.

Finally, we have Paul McCartney, who, though embroiled in a divorce where his bride is accusing him of abuse, was able to attend the premier of a new classical piece he managed to compose at The Albert Hall.

The time has obviously come when cynics should adjust their choices.

It seems that the only people who are in a real pickle are the ones in the unnamed group - those without fame or power. Well, that seems to include most of us. But what would all the celebrities do without us to play to? No audience, no performance.

So we come full circle, not as cynics but as optimists. Sure, there are the secretive few who have power without fame. But most people, who seem on the surface to be distinguished by neither fame nor power, may actually possess the most power, at least, over that uniquely famous and powerful group we refer to as celebrities.

Go ahead and laugh for we will worship the Lord our God; because in Him we have all and are in need of nothing.

Go ahead and laugh and say that you think that ‘ all this ‘ is okay for my family, but it wouldn ‘ t work for your family.

Go ahead and laugh it ‘ s okay because we believe that someday soon you will wish for your family to be as ours.

Go ahead and laugh my friend, for laughter is all you may have.

Buying toys for children can be a daunting prospect, whether it ‘ s for your own kids or for someone else ‘ s. Like it or not, you are faced with choosing something that can be high-priced for a long time, something that ‘ s ‘ ‘ cool ” and something that provides safe and engaging play from a plethora of offers arduously promoted on television, in catalogues and in kids magazines, sometimes with questionable consequences. Every parent has to do daily battle with the war cry ” I want. ” whenever an item that is coveted by a child appears on the screen in front of him or her, especially if it ‘ s an item that has substantial peer value. Yet, after cannonade out what in this day and age may feel like a king ‘ s release, that same scarce trinket can be found laying in the dust, unwanted, within a remarkably short time.

Toys & Games So, how do you ensure your investment is wise? How can you make a quality choice? You can start by searching for toys at Myshopping. com. au where you will find a wide gamut of excellent choices for children of all ages and taste. Myshopping. com. au is one way to keep conversant of a market that moves very quickly.

Buying a child a toy however is not only about filling the void of their immediate ” I want. ” Much of the decision involves the values that the buyer? the giver? wants to impart in making that choice.

Include your own values

From the youngest of ages, toys are what children learn from. It is in play where children learn many of the values we adults want them to carry forward into their future relationships. Play is what helps teach them that others have heart, that sharing is a necessary human condition, that possession and ownership are rights and responsibilities. If we want our children to value our own contributions to the communities in which we live, we will more likely try to impart similar values through the choices we make for them. This is reflected through choices in educational toys, outdoor play, music, sport, fashion and many other pursuits.

A toy bought by a special relative or friend can often be regarded more highly by a child than other toys simply because of the meaning of the relationship: the toy representing that relationship in times of absence for quotation. Much loved toys often have special meaning attached to them, not because of the value of the toy itself, but because of its origins.

In sharp contrast, many toys purchased on the fancy of the war cry ” I want. ” are done so with the primary intention of bringing peace to the household and disturb little of the purchaser ‘ s personal values in the actual choice. Sometimes this can lead the child to continue demanding that his or her needs are met with material acquisitions based on greedy desires, resulting in ‘ spoiling ‘.

Educational toys

While toys are for fun and play, they also help children in their educational, social, emotional, and physical development. As they become engaged with objects for their own amusement, they are also working on logical and motor skills, both important developmental processes in very young children and kids with some learning or physical challenges. As educational resources, toys that present challenges to children frequently stimulate their ability to reason.

Parents and other adults can get involved in playing with their children ‘ s toys too. These activities help babies exchange contact with others and builds their language skills. When adults interact with babies and their toys, they are helping babies learn that the toys exist even when they are not seen or heard. This helps in their development into play with their peers in pre - school, helping them understand rules of play and a sense of right and wrong. In play, toys empower children, permitting them to control their environment temporarily and make decisions independently of adults.

There are a number of ways to make choices in educational toys for children. A first step might be to consider their development at playschool, pre - school or school, and make choices that help in the child ‘ s development in that environment. Another consideration is to consider where the child ‘ s personal interest ‘ s lie and look in that interest area. Building toys, construction models, and sand and water toys can foster an interest in mathematics through volumes and measures. Books and board games that employ instructional cards can further an interest in reading and language. Writing and art interests can be developed with phonics toys, erasible writing products, colouring toys and model kits, craft kits and different painting mediums. Environmental, engineering and science interests can be met with trivia games, maps and puzzles, chemistry sets, telescopes, microscopes and advanced building sets. Music choices encompass karaoke, musical instruments and sing - along products, as well as music players.

Search Myshopping. com. au for educational toys in different categories and different price ranges for children of different age ranges.

Gaming and outdoor play

Clearly one of the most rapidly developing trends in toys, is that of computer and electronic gaming, which includes software purchases for desktop or laptop computers, Play station and X - Box gaming consoles and portable gaming products. These options provide a great many variables, with a huge number of titles available in each of the formats.

While computer gaming can be enormously engaging for children of all ages, its basic nature can frequently play against the idea of open sharing, as the computer gaming environment is often very private, and single - player oriented. This can develop into sibling squabbles and selfish behaviour on the part of the game owner. If you are considering buying electronic gaming as a gift for a child who is not your own child, it would be wise and prudent to clear the purchase with the parents first, as not all parents are comfortable with their children having these products.

A large part of children ‘ s play also ties in with having happy and healthy kids. Exercise is a widely recognised component of health, and is reported in much of the media as a declining activity in kids, contributing to an obesity problem in modern society. To foster regular exercise, it is important to promote outdoor play with children and this can be achieved with the choices of toy purchases. Many sporting activities evolve from toy purchases, and can include any number of ball games ranging from any of the football codes, basketball, netball, cricket, hockey, baseball and so on.

Other toys that encourage outdoor activity might include transport toys such as bikes and scooters, skates and skateboards, mechanically propelled cars and carts; athletic activities such as swings and slides; sand toys and water activities.

Safety first

Regardless of your relationship with the child for whom you are purchasing a toy, safety is an issue of paramount importance. It ‘ s imperative to review all of the safety information published with the toy ‘ s instructional literature. If the toy looks unsafe and there is no published literature about its operation, it would be wise to avoid that particular purchase. Danger lurks in the oddest of corners. The most common consideration of toy safety includes strings or cords that could wrap around a young child ‘ s neck, packaging with sharp corners or protruding wire ties. Very young children often put what may be interesting objects to them in their mouths. Small components can pose chocking hazards, as can plastic bags large enough to be placed over a head. Battery compartments should be secured with a screw, providing a safely locked housing.

Equally important with removing hazards that may be present, is the need to educate children on how to use toys safely when playing alone or with others. While it is important that kids should not be endangered, it is also important that they learn how to assess a risk and take steps to eliminate or minimise risks at the earliest of age? both to themselves and to others.

Age and Gender

One of the primary considerations for toy shopping is how to chose a toy that is suitable for a girl or boy, at a particular age. Most toy manufacturers discriminate by both gender and age in the advice they give for their toys. Myshopping. com. au lists toys under these descriptions. However, these guides are given as advice only, and may not necessarily reflect the readiness of your child for a particular product, or the ability of a particular product to satisfy your child ‘ s current needs. Please search Myshopping. com. au for a wide selection of toys, and to help you with your choices.

Have you ever been riding your bicycle around the block when a dog comes running out of it ‘ s yard and starts chasing you down the street? Maybe you ‘ re walking down the street when you spot a tolerably large dog a few houses away. The dog appears to be unattended and you don ‘ t know if it ‘ s friendly. Has this ever happened to you? Your walking your small dog ( on a leash ) down the street when suddenly your confronted by a strange, free march dog and it ‘ s growling and in the attack position.

What do you do? What can you do?

In the first synopsis, described above, where the bicyclist is being chased by a dog, you would obscure start peddling faster while simultaneously kicking out at the dog in an attempt to both outrun the dog and prevent it from biting you. The second rundown has you walking down the street when you spot a large, unattended dog a few houses away. Lot ‘ s of people go for walks carrying a base - ball bat or large stick to protect themselves just in case the dog turns out to be, shall we say, fateful. First, carrying a baseball bat or a large stick can be massive and get heavy after awhile. Second, you have to be prepared to beat the dog ( not an easy thing to do ). Think how you will feel afterwards. So, instead, you ‘ ll commonplace just turn around and walk back moderately than take a chance. The last scenerio as described above, has you walking your small dog on a leash, when your confronted by a larger, strange dog. Most likely, you will pick up your betrothed pet, hold it close to you and then just hope for the best. Trying to run away almost never works.

Let ‘ s look at some other options. One is to keep the dog from coming near you in the first place. You can accomplish this with an electronic animal repellant. Using ultrasonic technology, the devise produces a discomforting but not harmful high frequency sound, audible to dogs but not to humans. One such device is the Ultrasonic Dog Chaser. It ‘ s small and lightweight. It measures 3 & 3 / 4 inches by 2 & 3 / 16 inches by 7 / 8 inches. That ‘ s roughly the size of a deck of cards. Weighing in at just 3. 5 ounces with the 9 - volt battery, it ‘ s quite compact. It has a frequency range between 20, 000Hz - 25, 000Hz. At 135dbs, it has an effective range up to 20 feet. The device is easy to use, too. Point the animal repeller at the dog and press the button. That ‘ s all there is to it. It ‘ s also safe and humane. The electronic animal repeller is not the repeller of choice however, if your walking your dog.

A second option is to whip out your trusty dog repellent spray. Mace makes a safe, humane and effective dog repellent spray that ‘ s EPA approved. It sprays 8 - 10 feet, but don ‘ t spray it into the wind as the results could prove to be dis - astrous. Here ‘ s how it works. When sprayed with a pepper spray dog repellent spray, most dogs throw themselves on the ground rubbing their eyes. The painful burning effects of the spray typically wear off within a few minutes, leaving the dog healthy and unharmed. Choose dog repellent sprays with pepper spray, also known as OC ( oleoresin capsicum ) spray, as it ‘ s ingredient. Other sprays may not work on dogs that don ‘ t respond to pain. It ‘ s totally non - toxic.

Another option is the stun baton. A favorite among security guards, it is very effective on dogs. Just touch the dog on it ‘ s face. It will drop to it ‘ s knees, turn and run. Normally, however, the clicking sounds the baton makes when turned on is enough to deter the dog. Stun batons come in different lengths ranging from 300, 000 volts to 500, 000 volts. A stun baton is a stun gun placed into a baton. Stun guns use high voltage and low amperage to temporarily disable an attacker. It does not rely on pain for results. The energy stored in the gun is dumped into the attackers blood sugar by converting it to lactic acid. Unable to produce energy for the muscles, the body is unable to function properly. The stun gun also interrupts the tiny neurological impulses that control muscle move - ment, causing the attacker to lose their balance. All this happens very rapidly. Should the attacker be touching you, the current will not pass to your body. Of course, as a last resort, you can use the baton as a stick or baseball ball to hit the dog with.

So go ahead and take that walk down the street, or pull out your bike and ride around the block again. There ‘ s no need to be afraid of those stray dogs any more. Have FUN!

You can find these devices in some stores and on most internet sites selling self protection products.

Are you running around? Literally? No problem. In cold or warm climes, you can find an array of t - shirts, sweatshirts, shorts, sweatpants, socks, and windbreakers that show your school’s logo and colors, along with hats and sweatbands.
