High PR backlinks

[draelectricals]

Firstly, is it still necessary to have backlinks on a site? I have 2 sites; one with about a thousand links and one with hardly any yet they both rank really well.

I know it's good to get some high page rank links but how do you get them? Without paying a fortune

Thanks

hey richard

its not only backlink solely bases on which you can get rank ..

apart of backlink there exists almost 200 factors on bases of what you can get rank ..

seo based on 200 factors ..

yes generating backlink is important but wait .. are you working on tough keyword which has high competition .. if is it so than only generates it on high flow .. else if you have powerful and well content and has good quality site with good meta tagging than high flow backlink generation is not requires ..

important factor is how competitive is keyword for whom you wanted to target that keyword could decide you that what quantity of backlink you can generate ..

My keywords are competitive and that's part of the battle, you see what I do is "pat testing" and that in itself is very competitive. My sites rank well; generally in top 5 but the national companies tend to have the manopoly and I struggle to pass them.

My sites I think are well optimised; the content is good and so is the meta data which is why I am thinking I need some high PR backlinks. Perhaps you can have a look and let me know your thoughts? Main sites are www dot draelectricals dot co dot uk and www dot pattestnortheast dot com

Cheers

Do you do testing in cormwall? Will you drive to Brighton to check my fridge?

If not then 'PAT testing' are the wrong keywords to choose (apart from the fact that it means 'portable appliance testing testing'.

Try different keywords. 'Electrical safety checks' or 'mains safety inspections' and so on might be something to investigate.

Remember as well that it's not well published that the tests are not mandatory so perhaps people aren't looking for this service so much any more.

Backlinks are the base of website in order to get good ranking. So websites should have enough back links. On other hand excessive number of backlinks may also harm your website so you should have only high pr backlinks instead of having huge amount of backlinks

Wrong

A backlink is simply a link to your website. In general, the more links you have to your site, or, more specifically, the pages on your site, the more likely it is that those pages will show up at the top of the search results.

And wrong again

Not only back-links are the base of any website. As Andrew said, there are lots of other factors which help to rank your website. But if you wanna talk about base, then site navigation, content both are also playing vital role to be the base of any website to get top position in Google.

and here are all (or most) of the factors.
But before you get too carried away - above all, it's regularly updated, quality content that matters most.

That's a seriously out of date inforgraphic. It's also full of errors and there's a good number of factors missing.

I think it's brand new actually. Covers a lot of things but nobody knows the ranking factors.

It's just link bait anyway but they have got some good links from it so kudos to them.

It was from June 2013 - so yes really out of date (couldn't find any earlier instances of it) - unless it's the content you are saying is out of date?

Are you actually going to post something useful like which errors (presumably in your humble opinion) and what's missing which is kind of what a forum is for?

 

[fisicx]

OK, here's a few example:

• It says sitemaps are a ranking factor/signal, They aren't. In most caes they are superfluous.
• Breadcrumb Navigation. Internal linking is important. Breadcrumbs are not a ranking factor.
• Yahoo Directory Listing. Not a ranking signal. The inforgraphic even says so.
• Keyword frequency. It says keyword repetition 'likely acts as a relevancy signal'. This is a myth.

There is very little on the infographic about page and site structures, the use of JS other onpage code. There are lots of references to 2011 reports and documents which precedes a number of major Google updates.

Many of the entries are conjecture. The blurb on them says they are just guesses.

Many of the entries are conjecture. The blurb on them says they are just guesses.

But of course - last I looked Google hadn't provided a manual on how to rank your website #1. FWIW the errors you've pointed out are also your conjecture too but at least the infographic provides some supporting evidence for most of them.

I think it gives a reasonable picture of all the things that can potentially affect ranking and it does refer to structure under site architecture. Some bits are dated, true, but only by degree. Anyway, I' m not saying it's perfect but pretty comprehensive, insightful and useful.

But as I said originally, the main thing is writing something people want to read.

 

[fisicx]

Google has published an SEO guide and there is a whole raft of supporting documents in their blog and in the webmaster guidelines.

And (for example) if you read the google guide on sitemaps they tell you it isn't a ranking factor/signal. So my comments aren't conjecture, that are based on ducmented and tested evidence.

It's really tough to get High PR backlinks. i really tried hard but everything i went on vain. Any smooth method to create High PR backlinks for free? The content is also good but am not able to create goof PR backlinks..

What do you call high ? add your site to http://www.alternativestoebay.com free thats 4/10

Fine, but just writing a quick post saying something is all wrong doesn't really elevate the debate. Had you provided a list of things in the infographic you were taking issue with and links that seemed to show why then that would have been more useful. Give us the links, and quote from these documents so as to back up your points and then they move away from being conjecture.

By the way, in the Google SEO guide it says 'Put an HTML site map page on your site, and use an XML Sitemap file' so it could be argued that something which ensures a ranking is a ranking factor.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with your points but just saying bring a little bit more to the table to back up your views as the creators of that infographic did.
