Few weeks ago I’ve decide that I have to start an experiment: to improve the page rank of my site on alexa.com.
I’ve started this experiment as a result of the SPAM comments that I receive, something like “affordable way to drive tons of traffic to your web page”.
So, I said: Let’s follow the advices and see what’s happen.
When I’ve started this experiment (21 May 2013) the alexa com rank of my site was around 21530000, there was not too much activity on my site (smaller number is better, mine was a huge one).
So, following the advices I’ve submitted my home page to sites which create mass backlinks, for free. After few days there results were visible: a disaster, my rank stared to decrease.
In a week the position number was increasing like hell.
Searching on the net I’ve noticed that if backlinks on low-quality sites, my page will get a kind of penality.
So, on 30 June 2013 I’ve started to change something:
- I’ve started to add some good content on my site (this is also what I’m doing right now)
- Add backlinks to my own site as comments on different blogs, comments manually added (no bots) and they have to really comment what is written on the article
- Start to create sitemap of my site and submit it to search engines
After two more days, when my page rank starts to improve.
See bellow the graph with the “rise and fall of my rank page” (or better: fall and rise… )
I’ll try on the future to keep track of the page rank, daily if it’s possible, eventually to add on this article some events: “when” I’ve did “what” to improve my position
So, the short story is:
- mass backlinks generation is a bad thing, it can only hurts
- write some useful content and share with the others
- submit your simemap for indexing to search engines
