How to Fix Xbox 360 Flashing Red Lights, Where’s Xbox Repair Service and How Much Xbox 360 Repair Cost
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010Much ado about PageRank
Monday, January 4th, 2010There are those in our industry who will tell you that PageRank
is dead. I’ve been reading a lot lately about how we are
supposed to ignore the green bar in our browser but you know
what? I disagree and I’m going to tell you why.
For those who don’t know, PageRank is Google’s way of
determining a website’s worth based on the number of incoming
links it has. In other words, Google counts the number of links
pointing to a site as votes, generally speaking the more votes a
site has the more it is likely worth to Google.
While this is a simplistic view of PageRank and it has indeed
gotten much more complex than this, in essence this is what
PageRank is. So why would many reckon it’s not worth anything?
Because at one time, Google’s ranking algorithms were based in
large part on the PageRank calculations. Too soon, but,
webmasters realized that in order to get high rankings, all you
needed was a bunch of links. Google caught on but, and
adjusted the algorithms to ensure that only relevant links were
counted.
But what makes up a relevant link? Well, look at a website from
a searchers point of view. If I am the owner of a website and
I’m going to link to other sites, do I want to link to a bunch
of unrelated sites that provide no added value to my site’s
visitors? The answer should be no.
Therefore I want to provide links to relevant related sites
which are a benefit to my site’s visitors. This is the strategy
Google is employing to attempt to determine the relevancy of
links. The links should be related and/or relevant to the site
they are between to.
While there’s a ton of programming and logic involved, this is
essentially what the “new” PageRank does – it devalues those
links that are unrelated or non-relevant to the site to which
they link.
So, now that I’ve provided this brief introduction, lets get
back to the original question – is PageRank dead? Should we
ignore the green bar in our browser? The simple answer is no.
(FYI, if you don’t have the Google Toolbar, you can get it here.
While PageRank has been devalued somewhat by Google it is still
the elemental algorithm Google uses on their index.
While it is right that PageRank is not the ultimate ranking
algorithm anymore, it still contributes to rank. Therefore you
will see sites with a low PageRank value outranking other sites.
But this is due more to the site itself than the number of links
(Go figure – Google is trying to return relevant results
regardless of how many links you have).
In any case, the results you see on Google are better than they
once were and less susceptible to influence by aggressive search
engine optimizers. But that’s not to say that PageRank is dead.
Far from it.
To really know the effect of PageRank, one must know
how Google works.
Google has thousands of interlinked computers inside their data
centers. Each computer has a job. Some calculate PageRank, some
count links, some serve results when queries are performed.
When a site is indexed by Google, it goes into the database
where the algorithms are applied and principles assigned. When a
query is performed, the database is checked and all the sites
which match the query are shortlisted. Then each server is then
told to return only the top results (it may be top 3, it may be
top 10, we don’t know). And guess which factor determines which
top results are returned? You guessed it – PageRank. So if your
site is on a cluster which has a bunch of higher PageRank sites,
then there’s a pretty excellent chance that it won’t make it to that
next amount of processing.
It is at this next amount where PageRank is devalued – and the
pages are sorted based on other factors to ensure they better
match the query. They are then returned to the searcher in the
order Google deems more appropriate to the query. All this
happens in a split second.
A further place where PageRank is extremely helpful is link
building.
As any excellent search engine optimizer knows, links are still
vital. It should seem pretty obvious right through this article
that links are what drives your ranking. All engines use some
form of link popularity to determine rankings, not just Google.
So when you do link building, PageRank can be a fantastic indicator
of the value of a link. Remember, if you are doing link
building, you are first going to want to find useful links and
ones that are of a value to your website’s visitors. But you can
consider PageRank when searching out these links. Because a site
with a higher PageRank will contribute more to your link
popularity than one with a lower PageRank.
This comes with a caveat, but, and that is that no one
apart from Google knows how accurate the PageRank showed in the
Google Toolbar is. It is only updated occasionally, so the right
PageRank can be different than what you see.
That’s why I mentioned above to use the PageRank as an indicator
of the links value, and not the sole criteria when evaluating
what sites you want links from. But as you can probably guess
from the tone of this article – while the PageRank value you see
may be flawed, it is most certainly in use by Google
How Much Does Your Domain Name Really Cost You?
Monday, November 9th, 2009It may surprise you to know that one of the most standard questions I get questioned by newcomers to internet marketing is related to buying a domain name.
Now I know if you’ve been around a small while you’re probably thinking “Buying a domain name! How hard is that? Just choose your name, click and buy!” But really, on reflection, it can be a bit of a minefield out there…
From the minute you arrive at your preferred domain seller you’re bombarded with choices, processes and options that are designed to get you spend a deal more than, say, the $4.99 you Originally thought your shiny new domain name was going to cost you.
I chose to pop along to my local domain shop (read click on a bookmark and login) and take a look at exactly what’s on place forward and whether all these add-ons and extras are perfectly elemental.
1) OK, so the first thing I see previous to I even type in the domain name I want to buy is that there’s a “Sale” on certain suffixes like .com .net .org
2) I type in my domain name – domain-name-confusion.com – and click the ‘next’ button and ‘fantastic’, it’s available, but hang on… I can also buy domain-name-confusion.US .NAME .BIZ etc and many more. I can also choose from MYdomain-name-confusion, EASYdomain-name-confusion, domain-name-confusionONLINE, domain-name-confusionSTORE and myriad other combinations
3) I choose that no, I’m just going to stick to my original choice of domain-name-confusion.com and so I don’t check any of the other boxes. I proceed on to what I reckon is the checkout but OH NO… again I’m being questioned to STOP!
Why don’t I protect my brand and increase my traffic by buying the .org .net and .info – and I’m even offered a really incredible “special price” to buy the job lot! And what’s more there’s a special box with a list of compelling reasons why I really should do this
4) No thanks, I still want to stick to my original domain-name-confusion.com so I click on the checkout button, AGAIN!
Fantastic! We’re onto the summary page where I’m told what I’m ordering.
But WAIT! Do I want my domain name certified for an extra $2.99? Do I want email count to my domain for an extra $1.99? Is that Complete or Deluxe, Madam? How about Hosting, Sitebuilder, a blog or even some traffic driving software? Is that Standard, Deluxe or Protected, Madam?
5) No, honestly, you’re too kind, but I simply want to buy the domain name! Click on the checkout button, AGAIN!
Phew, the checkout at last! But wait, do I want to add protection to my domain name and make it ‘confidential’? Do I want to add a further domain name? Am I sure I don’t want the .NET OR .INFO?
Reasonably a marathon, huh? And, of course, when you are all wrapped up in the dream of having your own website and wanting to make it perfect from the outset, you are vulnerable to emotional suggestions. PROTECT, INCREASE, EXPAND, ATTRACT…
So let’s take a look to see if you need all these unfamiliar, but reasonable-sounding options?
Do You Need Extra Domain Suffixes?
You can register a .com domain name with several very sound registrars for, say, $6.99/yr to $9.99/yr. Fees for registering the other possibilities, .info, .co.uk, .net, .org, .biz, .tv can range from $0.99 per year to whatever the registering company wants to charge.
But is it going to be worth it? And where do you stop with the combinations? .com, .co.uk, .info and then there’s the ‘do I add a dash ( – ) just-to-be-on-the-safe-side.com, .org, .biz’ ? I would say, probably not. The .com brand is so usually known that most people will involuntarily type in a .com extension on any website they are trying to find.
Confidential Registration
This option will keep your confidential details, name, physical address and email address unavailable to anyone checking the ownership of your domain on “Whois”. Internet law requires that all information about domain registration be publicly available and “Whois” maintains the databases that hold this information.
If you buy a confidential registration, your details will not be available to just anyone who wants to check your domain for specific ownership. There are many domain owners who don’t reckon this is necessary but, on the other hand, confidential registration can help you avoid spam, crank emails and unwanted phone calls.
It is worth bearing in mind that any emails you send from the US that are commercial in nature, like:
i) Promoting a product or affiliation
ii) Suggesting that the reader stay your sales page
iii) Offering a discount for purchasing some product
are required, by the US Can-Spam Act, to have your right, physical mailing address visible to your email recipients and the right email address you sent the advertisement from, so this kind of defeats the object of confidential registration in some ways.
Protected Registration
This form of domain registration protects you from inadvertent expiration of your domain registration, including credit card expiration, disastrous billing or outdated contact information. It also makes it more hard to accomplish most malicious domain transfers by Internet predators. Effectively, your domain would be held for you until you renewed the registration.
It can cost more than $25 a year for this service, depending on who you are using for this protection. If you are a small marketing venture, selling a piece of software, an affiliate product or an ebook on a niche product, you may not need this upsell. But, if later your domain starts making lots of cash, and you choose that you do need it, you can easily add it.
Business Registration
This amount of domain registration keeps need-to-know information about your business in the Whois database. That information can include a map to your store, website photo, business description, phone number and links to vital pages of your website.
The vital information your customers might need to facilitate business deals with your business is visible to millions of searchers in the Whois domain name database.
Do you need it? That would depend on the nature and size of your business and your budget. This would be more of a marketing/budget choice. A small, start-up website selling one ebook would probably not need this bonus service.
How Many Years Do You Need?
Every time you register a domain name, regardless of the service you choose to use for the registration, you will be offered a multi-year registration at a discount. It is up to you whether you consider this place forward to be a excellent deal, but you might want to consider a touch previous to you do it.
Are you positive that you will still want to own the domain name after the first year? Will you still be in business in a year? Will you have graduated to a larger, much different online business or a further business completely?
If you take a multi-year package, the registrar will get all the cash up front and you will not get a refund if you exchange your business or drop out completely.
Hosting On The Domain Registry Site
This is a likely time-saving upsell you will be offered when you register your domain name. It seems like it would be an simple, time-saving option to buy. Your domain and website would be in the same place.
Most Internet Marketers, if questioned, would advise against doing this. Putting all your eggs in one basket means your entire business disappears if the domain registrar quits doing registrations or generally just goes out of business.
A better choice would be to find a further hosting company that provides the options you need to make your website what you want it to be.
Irrevocably…
The multitude of domain registrars on the internet will guarantee that there will be more offers to upgrade or to buy packages with various multiple options that sound fantastic on the surface. Since it’s your cash at stake, it might be wise to carefully consider what you really need right now…not a year down the line. By then your needs could be far different than anticipated originally.
