Where does a Zero Page Rank
 

site start with linking? And, is it reciprocal linking that a newbie wants, or those one way links I've heard about but don't understand. Also, since I don't really want to ruin the asthetics of my front page, do I make a new page, specifially for link sharing, or do I have to add them to the front page?

Just made my own logo, wooHoo...whatcha think?

I think you're assuming that most people will only trade with those that are of the same or higher ranking which I don't think is ALWAYS true. Having said that, forging relationships with people on boards like GG&J is usually a good way to start.

You can build your page rank without doing any trades at all if you want. Here's a good article that explains pr. http://www.webworkshop.net/pagerank.html

Mister Stress? Thank you. However, I got lost on the first paragraph. I do not understand legaleze, nor mathematical lingo at all. 4 years of college, 4 years of tutors. Mayhaps you can tell me the jist of it all? :-)

Build lots of topic relevant pages on your domain and link them all back to the root index (which can lead to another page that links back to all those pages). There are other ways but that would be the most basic. :)

Btw, I meant math tutors. I'm not a bloomin' idiot, just mathematically retarded *S*

Hmmmm, my *root index* is basically my *landing* page (with the warning about my site being an adult site). The main page with all the info and links back to, is the second page, which seemed, from what I read, and all the sites I have seen, to be *the* formula for a free website.

So? For clarification sake, you're saying, basically, make sure the content relevant pages all link back to that main, *landing* page (and not the second, info-filled page)?

Do I have that correct?

Link them to whichever page(s) you wish to build the most internal PR on.

Cool...*salutes Mister Warrior*... Next question. Do you think I should *exchange links* with people on that second, most popular page, or make a completely new page just for linking?

Personally I don't care for "links" pages myself. They have little or no relevance. Just a personal preference, work the link trades into your pages to the site you are trading links with. That way any traffic you exchange with your link partners is on topic. :)

Nice, I don't often run into people savvy enough to use the term "internal PR."

WildHoney, if you're worried about home page TBPR (toolbar PageRank) because you want to run link trades, I would:

- submit a few free sites. Nofollow aff links so they don't leak any juice. Link the free sites back to your main domain root URL. That way, the free sites will leech juice off link lists, and your domain will start gaining some "play-dough."

- If you really only care about having a big green bar on your home page, keep the number of pages on your site to a minimum. Less pages = less link juice dilution (would not work in mainstream though - there you need linkbait)

- Like major stress said, link every page to the home page. Have as many internal links as possible per page (up to 100) if you have a ton of outbound links pointing to other sites. Again, nofollow aff links. This helps minimize PageRank "bleed."

- Buy a dozen domains. More domains means more link trade possibilities. For example, if you only own one mainstream domain you could only get one link from business.com. If you own 10 domains, theoretically you could get 10. Then you can moderately cross-link them or channel all the juice to one main site and then trade off of that site. I've seen real estate agents nail local rankings using this tactic - buying several templates and domains, one per area, then crosslinking into a main site using sitewide sidebar links. And unfortunately, it seems to work.

- If you want to get spammy, there are some social bookmark sites out there that are dofollow. I personally don't bother with stuff like that but its an option if no one is linking to you naturally.

Build more backlinks and your site will have PR>0 ;)

this is a pretty nice information you share about page rank i really need this link to know more about page rank.
