2. It's been long overdue that I've been wanting to talk
about how owning a network of web sites, drastically
affects your page ranking within Google.
3. For some of you, you may closely watch what goes on
with Page Ranking Within Google with your trusty
toolbar, and some of you may not have a clue nor care
enough to watch your web site popularity and stay glued
to you se ranking like a hawk.
4. If you've ever considered owning a successful network
of web sites, you'll want to start paying close attention
as to how your network affects your search positions.
5. Page Ranking is like an ocean "tide", it comes and goes
and then comes back again, feeding a never ending sea
of web site owners and keeping them on the shore to
watch. What you want to notice is how owning a few
"title waves" coming in, will drastically kill your page
ranking but increase your search engine saturation.
6. If you haven't heard the term saturation before, it's
merely referred to as the amount of links within your
site that gets listed by search engines. So if you have 20
pages within your web site, you should have 20 pages
listed in search engines.
7. If you don't have 20 pages listed, your search engine
saturation is lower than it should be and you should
concentrate on promoting ALL your pages, not just the
main page of your site.
8. Personally owning a network of sites, and having
worked on a network of 180 sites for one client, I've
come to the conclusion that if you want to reach a 6/10
Google ranking, don't merely rely on your network to
get success.
9. Like I mention in all my articles, search engines are
getting smarter and can detect and sniff out a network
of web sites created to help one thing, profit.
10. What you want to do is like I mentioned in a previous
article, promote ALL your pages in as many web sites as
you can. Find all related material to what you do.
11. Please don't get me wrong, owning a network is in no
way harmful to have. The way a network will work
successfully is by at least having one of your web sites
already successful and the rest are tailing on it's success.
12. Trying to start an entire network from scratch is not only
ludicrous, it would take a really good chunk of
someone's budget just to make sure you would succeed
in keeping up with the demand.
13. All too many times, I see people promote their site for a
month or so, realize it's a lot of work and start
neglecting it completely. Never give up on your dream,
you only have one person to blame, yourself.
14. Start slow, start with one site. Expand it until you are
ready to move onto another on-going project. Always
remember that by starting another site within your
network will not only bring you more responsibilities but
it will be your responsibility to make sure this new web
site is successful and that the old one isn't forgotten
either.
