Thanks.
I'm a perfect example. I have never had this 'link to us' on my site before. I'm completely re-doing every aspect of my site to increase page rank, traffic and sales. I had to ask you if I did it correctly... I have to start somewhere. Does that mean people shouldn't link to my site because I had to ask for confirmation with this code? :)
It has always bugged me that linking to sites that don't have a very good page rank for whatever reason is not a good idea. Who makes that rule and what is it's purpose?
Those who follow those rules are generally people who want to:
...increase page rank, traffic and sales.
I personally don't care for links from a webmaster who cares about PageRank etc. The best links are from sites created by people who have no such concerns. So don't let it bother you.
I've searched through many of the 'widget' websites that are in my field. It's hard to find sites that will link to my site or they are my direct competitor. Many individual 'widget' web sites don't even have any external links.
I need to expand my link search deeper into the subject of my widgets and not just the widgets them selves. I may be ble to connect with others who have that interest. Is that something the search engines will approve of?
No, they don't. You must be looking in the wrong places if that's all you're finding.
Oh well, I'm not gonna stress over it. My webmaster knowledge is limited anyway, there's so much to learn. I just want to enjoy it and do the best I can.
High-PR sites TEND to rank better than low PR sites. But equally, lower PR sites easily outrank high-PR ones for specific keywords.
Your key metric should be traffic, and (if you are monetised) conversion rate.
Realistically tho...doesn't every webmaster have some concern for page rank. How could they not?
by thinking pr means 'public ridicule;' some webmasters don't know what is page rank, and don't need to know. google isn't the only place from which to drive traffic and sales. there are billions of sites from which to choose. you've just got to reach out and link some one.
Your key metric should be traffic, and (if you are monetised) conversion rate.
show me the moneeey!
hardly any people are going to take up your suggestion and put your link on their site (that's nothing to do with your site, it's just the way it is these days), but for those that do, you probably want to make it as easy as possible for them.
and also, having all these external links coming back at you with identical anchor text and identical title tag text isn't the best thing to do these days either, because search engines think they look unnatural. it's best to let the website owner pick their own text.
