The most simple way to increase your Google page ranking is by commenting on other people’s blogs.

I go to blogs and comment on them as much as possible.  Why does this matter?

When you go to leave a comment on a blog it asks you for a few things:

Name

Email

Website

Comment

ALWAYS enter in your website.  ALWAYS.

If you don’t have a website, get one, install Word Press to it, and use it as I’m using this site.

By entering your site it’ll create a link from that site to your site. ¬†You’ll notice that when your post appears your site is linked to your name.

If you click on your name, it’ll take you to your site.

Google views this link as another notch in your popularity.

It’s like having a lot of friends. ¬†When you have a lot of friends, other people want to be your friend. ¬†They view you as cool, and figure they’d be cool if they hung out with you.

This is the same way Google views it.

The more sites you have linking back to yours, the better Google views your site and the higher Google will rank your site.

I’m only using Google here since it has about 65% market share, but the same applies for Bing, Yahoo, and every other search site.

Start by commenting on this post.  I welcome you to comment on every post I have.  I want you to benefit from having the back links to your site and I want my site to have more discussion on each post.

Since I already told you that I continually comment on other blogs, you know that my site already has many back links and will be getting more and more back links each month and each year.

This means that by you having a back link from me, it’ll help your site as well.

Do this with every major blog in your field.

A guy named Guy Kawasaki runs a site called http://alltop.com/

He links to all the major blogs.

Here are also 30 other major blogs:  http://www.problogger.net/archives/2010/01/07/30-bloggers-to-watch-in-2010/

I alternate from commenting on major blogs to commenting on more niche blogs in my market.

On the major blogs it’s good because it gets me a back link.

However what it doesn’t do is give me a good chance of having someone click through to my site when they click on my name.

I want the traffic that comes when people see my post on another blog, get curious as to who I am, and click on my name. ¬†That’s powerful traffic.

The other important factor in commenting is that you’ll get to know the site owners.

If you comment on my site, I’ll appreciate that, thank you, and end up going to your site and seeing what you have.

We’ll get to know each other that way.

So alternate from commenting on the huge blogs to also commenting on the niche blogs that may not get many viewers (YET) but will allow you to network with people.

I always make sure that I have something valuable to say.

Don’t just read the headline and guess what a decent comment would say.

That makes you look foolish.

Read the post and if you have something positive to contribute, then contribute.

Back links will mean nothing if you lose credibility by posting worthless comments.
