Many people feel that PageRank is very important. In order to get PageRank, you need backlinks. In order to get backlinks, you need to write some amazing things so that other people who happen to stumble across your pages within, say the next 15 years, will feel compelled to provide a link to it. Needless to say, sometimes it doesn’t matter how amazing your blog post or web page is. Sometimes it just seems like no one will link to it.

So how do you get backlinks to your pages? Well, you can get on your hands and knees and ask your friends, “Hey Bob, can you plug this page for me?” Or, you can seriously go plug yourself!

What is plugging yourself? Well, first off, it isn’t anything like go FU&% yourself…. when I say go plug yourself, I mean just that. Instead of begging for backlinks from your friends, just give yourself the backlinks you want. By now, I am sure that you have multiple sites and blogs, start using them to fuel backlinks to things that are important to you.

Now, before you go adding your different newer blogs into the blogrolls of your existing blog, chill for a second and before you go getting yourself penalized in Google. First off, you need to determine the number of backlinks you need in order to reach to the top of the search results. If you go adding your link into a million blogrolls, Google doesn’t place a lot of value in that. Granted, I can’t prove this, so you’ll just have to take my word for it.

A backlink in a blog post or web page holds much more weight than a blogroll link. So don’t go nuts adding a million sites into your blogroll. Figure out how many backlinks you need to get to the top. You can do a simple search in Google to see how many backlinks the sites you are competing with have, from there you can set a goal on the number of backlinks you need.

From there, you need to gain backlinks from pages and posts from your other blogs that have their own internal PageRank. The value of a backlink on a page that has PageRank is much better than having a backlink on a page that doesn’t.

How do you know which pages and posts on your blog have PageRank? Well, here are a few sites that I found to offer what they call, an “Internal PageRank Checker”. Simply enter your domain name into the search field and click the submit button and below you will start to see a list of all your web pages with their individual PageRank score.

Here are two internal PageRank checker programs that I found after doing a quick Google Search. You may want to venture out and find other ones, but these two did the job for me fine:

Sorry, I am not hyperlinking to them. LOL

Once you determine the individual pages and posts on your blog or web site that have the highest PageRank across the board, simply edit these pages to carefully blend in your link. You need to work hard on making sure that you can blend in the link so that it can creatively be on topic. If you have a post about Mickey Mouse with a PR4 and you want to plug a link that points to your Vacuum Cleaner Niche Blog, then you might want to say something like, “I remember the episode where Mickey Mouse got his ears stuck in the vacuum cleaner. LOL does anyone remember that episode?” or something like that.

After a few days, Google will visit and reindex the posts and pages that have the newly added link, and backlink credits will be given to the site you have linked to. After a few months when Google does their PageRank update (you know the day that everyone freaks out) it will be very likely that the page you been feeding links to indeed increased its on PageRank due to the link building efforts you have done internally within many of your own web sites and blogs.
