Influencing the Ranking of your Web site

Google Webmaster Trends Analyst Susan Moskwa said that people "shouldn't focus on PageRank so much; many site owners seem to think it's the most important metric for them to track, which is simply not true." The leading search engines like Google, begin indexing new Web pages from the Open Directory Project listing (DMOZ) at dmoz.org. Submit your site to Suggest URL at the DMOZ site.

Your Web site's link popularity is crucial for higher search engine rankings. Note that having a few high-quality sites linking back to your site is far better than many irrelevant links to your site. The best way to achieve top 10 positions in a search engine is to have very competitive keywords with good link popularity.

Part of your Web site maintenance should be to acquire new links of high quality that adhere to your business's thematic niche. Try to interest those sites that are highly ranked for your keywords so that they link to your site. All sites linking together will benefit with higher search engine rankings.

The theme of your website is important, and influences your page rankings. It is recommended that keywords should be present in at least 30% of the titles of pages on your site.

Remember that good Web development and high page ranking begins with great content. Higher page ranking on the search engines starts with optimized content.
