Google PageRank is For Entertainment Use Only
Shocking news, last night, while i was jumping here and there in the search of some sort of confirmation to the rumors that want Google updating backlinks and PR (PageRank) soon.
This is what i found at the valuable Search Engine Journal :
In fact, supposing that high PR still plays a major role in ranking at the top of Google, how can you determine what your real PR is, now? And most of all: is PR still playing any role at all, in SEO?
This is what i found at the valuable Search Engine Journal :
Bad news? Good news? Certainly good news for those of you having a PageRank equal to zero: this might mean that probably your PageRank is everything but zero; but at the same time, if the claim is genuine, this might mean a complete change in the SEO (search Engines Optimization) world.
I can not confirm this to be accurate, but a post at Search Engine Watch just a few minutes ago claims this to be the case. The member said that he emailed Google asking why a page’s PageRank is zero and he got the following response from Google.
The PageRank that is displayed in the Google Toolbar is for entertainment purposes only. Due to repeated attempts by hackers to access this data, Google updates the PageRank data very infrequently because is it not secure. On average, the PR that is displayed in the Google Toolbar is several months old.
If the toolbar is showing a PR of zero, this is because the user is visiting a new URL that hasn’t been updated in the last update. The PR that is displayed by the Google Toolbar is not the same PR that is used to rank the webpage results so there is no need to be concerned if your PR is displayed as zero. If a site is showing up in the search results, it doesn’t not have a real PR of zero, the Toolbar is just out of date.
Apparently, Google is still using PageRank to rank sites but just not displaying the current value to the Google Toolbar user.
In fact, supposing that high PR still plays a major role in ranking at the top of Google, how can you determine what your real PR is, now? And most of all: is PR still playing any role at all, in SEO?

What Is Search Engines Optimization (SEO) ?
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) involves making Web pages more search engine friendly to promote them as the most relevant solutions for the search engines' users.
The improvements can mean the difference between achieving top rankings, which can result in thousands of monthly visitors, and being lost in oblivion.
Why is search engine optimization important?
Search engine optimization is basically about following search engine rules. If your Web page fits the criterias that a search engine considers the most important factors in terms of relevance, then it will reward you with a top ranking.
Search engine optimizers simply modify Web pages to fit these criterias. This gives the Web pages a better chance of being selected by the search engines as the most relevant page for the search query.
The importance of keyword research
The Internet is basically a massive disorganized library. Search engines are like librarians. They both try to organize the content, so that people can find what they're looking for without too much effort.
With books, librarians have the benefit of bibliographic databases and the information on the book covers to help them organize their library.
Search engines don't have such a luxury. There aren't databases of every single Web page ever created. The Internet is just too big. There's too much information to index.
The only way a search engine can try to organize the mass of information available on the Internet is by the use of keywords and links.
It makes sense to think that if a Web page contains enough keywords related to a certain topic, it should be relevant to a search for information on that particular topic.
So part of the search engine optimization specialist's job is to make sure the Web pages target the keywords that people search for when looking for products, services or information related to what the Web page offers.
The variety of keywords used to search for the same product, service or information is quite staggering.
For example, here are the most popular keyword phrases used by people searching for information on search engine optimization:
You notice how many different variations people use to search for information on the same topic?
The fact is, unless a page contains all of the keywords in a search query, then it will have very little of appearing at the top of the rankings.
Before Web pages can be optimized, you must conduct research to determine which keywords to target. This involves finding targeted keywords, determining their popularity, assessing the amount of competition, and then deciding which keywords to use in your Web pages.

Submitting to Directories Can Be a Tough Job, But You Cannot Miss It
How much time do you need for submitting your web site to the hundreds of Internet directories out there? And is it worth and necessary?
It can be really time consuming and the answer is: "yes, it is necessary and worth!".
Many people would say that it's not really time consuming: at the end there is plenty of automatic online and offline programs promising to do the job for you in a matter of minutes.
Well, forget them! Directories don't like automatic submissions at these days and you would just throw away your money, if not the chance to be indexed at all.
But let's start from the opportunity of submitting or not. Submitting your web site can bring you several advantages that you won't renunce to:
For those of you not knowing what PR (Google PageRank) and back links mean i'm going to explain it briefly:
PR is how Google rate an indexed web site. From the Google site itself:
A back link is when a website publish some information about your web site and establish a link from their site back to yours, so that their visitors can find your web site through their own one.
Here the importance of submitting your site to the directories.
Understood why it is worth to submit your site, then, let's see how you can do that manually in the shortest time possible.
Open your favourite text editor and create a new document. You may want to call it something like "Directories-Submission.txt". In this document write down the title (20-50 characters), press ENTER twice (in order to creat 2 line breaks), the description (up to 200 characters), press ENTER twice again and the URL of your website (just the main URL, like http://www.yoursite.com); now, press ENTER twice again and write down 5-7 keywords related to the content of your site, each one separated by a comma.
Then, visit this list of free directories (submitting your site to those directories is free) that we have built up for you and start clicking the first one on the list. When at their site, look for something like ADD URL or SUBMIT YOUR SITE and click on it; now fill in the fields with the info that you have saved in your text document simply making a cut and paste and submit your site (with some directories you will have to pick up a category for your site, first, and then to submit from inside that category. Always submit to a category related to your site content: there is no point to submit a website about jokes into the Politics category, just because some jokes are about politics...your site is about jokes and that or leisure and fun are the categories where you should submit it. And don't forget that submitting to the wrong category means almost certainly not to be indexed!).
Some directories may ask you to confirm your email address, but mostly won't. If you submit to the right categories, manually and correctly and if your website has any sort of decent content, you may expect to have your site indexed within 1 or 2 weeks. If you will submit your site correctly to all the directories on our list, you may expect a nice boost of traffic very soon, since you will have a nice bunch of back links, a better PR and consequentially a better search engine ranking for your site keywords; without talking of some traffic coming directly from those directories.
And with this simple system, you can easily save several hours of work when submitting your site to 300 directories. And don't forget that it's free! Well...almost...at the end, your time costs money...

But let's start from the opportunity of submitting or not. Submitting your web site can bring you several advantages that you won't renunce to:
- traffic
- visibility
- back links
- PR (Google PageRank)
- better search engine ranking
For those of you not knowing what PR (Google PageRank) and back links mean i'm going to explain it briefly:
PR is how Google rate an indexed web site. From the Google site itself:
"PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual 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 sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important."
Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search. Of course, important pages mean nothing to you if they don't match your query. So, Google combines PageRank with sophisticated text-matching techniques to find pages that are both important and relevant to your search. Google goes far beyond the number of times a term appears on a page and examines all aspects of the page's content (and the content of the pages linking to it) to determine if it's a good match for your query."
A back link is when a website publish some information about your web site and establish a link from their site back to yours, so that their visitors can find your web site through their own one.
Here the importance of submitting your site to the directories.
Understood why it is worth to submit your site, then, let's see how you can do that manually in the shortest time possible.
