What is the Pagerank and what is it for


Pagerank is another web terminology that you sure have heard about.

If you look in the web for the description of Pagerank you will find the description that Google gives to Pagerank:

"PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important".
To understand it better, Google assigns a numeric consideration from 0-10 for each webpage on the Internet, the highest the number the more important that page is in the internet and the better position that page will have in Google.
The PageRank technology that Google uses performs an objective measurement of the importance of web pages. To do this, solves an equation that contains more than 500 million variables and 2,000 million terms. Instead of counting direct links, PageRank interprets a link from Page A to Page B as a vote received by the Page B by Page A. PageRank evaluates, thus the importance of a page to count the number of votes it receives.
Hope this information is usefull for all of you and can work better to have a good position in Google.

What are Backlinks and Trackbacks

I´m sure you have heard about backlinks and trackbacks a lot while looking for information about how to get more traffic to your site, but not everyone knows the exact meaning of this terms that are very important for your blog. I´ll try to explain what Backlinks and trackbacks are and what are they for.

Backlinks are incoming links to a website or blog. In the search engine optimization (SEO) world, the number of backlinks is one indication of the popularity or importance of that website or blog . In basic link terminology, a backlink is any link received by a web node (web page, directory, website, or top level domain) from another web node.

Trackbacks are methods for Web or blog authors to request notification when somebody links to one of their documents. This enables authors to keep track of who is linking, and so referring, to their articles. Trackbacks are used primarily to facilitate communication between blogs; if a blogger writes a new entry commenting on, or referring to, an entry found at another blog, and both blogging tools support the TrackBack protocol, then the commenting blogger can notify the other blog with a "TrackBack ping"; the receiving blog will typically display summaries of, and links to, all the commenting entries below the original entry. This allows for conversations spanning several blogs that readers can easily follow.

Knowing this may help you to understand how the internet works and how make more accurate strategies for attracting traffic.

Love to Blog

It’s quite a short time that I began blogging, I started about a year ago just out of curiosity, and the truth is that it is something that caught me immediately.

I have several blogs to which I dedicate some time every day, I blog especially on topics which I’m passionate about, I'm a fan of cars, trips, I love everything related to technology and I like the movies.

So when I went deeper into a fantastic world that allows me to develop my creativity in the things I like, I look for information about places I would love to visit, I look for the cars I like, the premieres of films, and everything I like and I comment them on my blogs.

I tell you this because it is really important that the topic for which you decide to blog about is something that you are passionate. Some experts believe that bloggers got to find a niche for them to develop and generate large revenues, I believe that while this is true, is not for everyone, I think the important thing is that you can connect with your readers and your relationships on topics you love or topics in which you are an expert so your blog will generate the necessary interest to the readers re-read every post placed.

So remember that the most important thing for being a good blogger is to love what you’re doing and be passionate about your topics.

The three things that you have to take care about

There are 3 things that must take care to make your blog a success. These three things are what I will list now:

- Quality Posts

- Attract Traffic

- Monetize your blog

I think the ideal is in that order, first of all decide on what topic you will write on the blog. It can be anything, although the ideal would be to seek a niche, but if you're a fan of something or write something you are passionate about it or you are an expertise, what matters is the quality of post and desire and passion that you put in each post.
Second, attract traffic to your blog, this is more difficult, there are many strategies to generate traffic that I will be describing in future posts, but still attracting traffic is one of the most difficult tasks for a blogger, takes time, work and effort, but it is not an impossible task.
Last but not least you need to monetize your blog, this means, choose carefully which are the systems to make money you're going to use, it can be AdSense ads, affiliate programs or can also be sell e-books for example, the issue is to analyze carefully which will be one or more methods that best suit your blog and allow you to maximize revenue.

Have a plan

In my last post I told you that you have to consider what the topic of your blog will be about. Well this can be defined in a Plan; I think one of the most important things you must have to succeed with a blog is to make a plan.

In this plan you'll choose the strategy with which you will handle your blog to make money. As I said choose the topic your blog will be about, choose the platform that you will use, Blogger or Wordpress, inform you with the different monetization system that are available, handle the template you will use, the style that you want to give your blog , etc ...

I think this important because it is always best to be clear what you want to do from the very beginning, a plan allows you to see things more clearly.

To give you an example, I made mistakes when I started with my blogs that made me lose many followers, I started with an issue that I passionate, like cars, but I had no plan nor the name of the blog, not the template to use, or the domain or anything and I was already working with it for a few months and had an interesting traffic that I decided to make changes that made me give several steps back
, I bought a domain (which should have done from the beginning), change design without advice; I lost position in search engines because that data was lost in the other template and wasted time. But not everything was bad, because it allowed me to learn that we must first develop a plan to avoid committing the same errors and also to take things more clear.

So you know first of all make a plan of what you want to do with your blog and then start giving it content.

Start blogging

Hello, this is my first post in Possitive Blogger, first of all I would like to tell you that here you would find information about blogging and making money in the internet. But you have to know that to make money online requires time and strategy and most of all requires you to give important information to others so they would visit your blog more often.
I started blogging by fun and realized that I could make money when I started to use some money making method to support my blogs. I’m going to give you information little by little so you can realize how to make money online your own way. In the internet there are a lot of sites that give you information about making money online, and it is important for you to have different opinions or ways to make money online, I’m going to give you the information that was useful for me and how I started making money online.
First of all I would like to talk about the content of what you’re blogging about. Blogging is about telling experiences, giving information and interacting with your readers.To have a good blog you have to give quality content, you can make money with a lot of blogs with little content, but the best way to make real money in the internet is writing your own quality content.
So the first thing you need to know to start blogging is on what topic will be your blog.
This is important because you can’t have quality content if you don’t have an idea of what you’re talking about. Try to choose a topic that you are an expertise or that you know very well. Why I tell you this? because in the Internet there are lots of blogs and sites that are similar and you must be different to attract traffic to your blog.

Hope you start in this fascinating world of blogging.
