Website Link-Building Campaigns - Should You Get Links From Sites With Zero Google PageRank PR0 ?
Most new webmasters and website owners embark on link building campaigns when they launch a brand new website. It is well known that link-building is a big part of search engine optimization as sites with more links pointing to it, all other things being equal, tend to rank better in search engine results. So a lot of time is spent on it.
Somewhere, somehow, a paranoia was created where people started to believe that links from websites with zero Google PageRank (PR0) were harmful to your own website if they linked to it. If you believe that, consider this:
- Lifehacker.com was PR0 the day that it launched
- Myspace.com was PR0 the day that it launched
- Techcrunch.com was PR0 the day that it launched
If you"re paranoid about sites with 0 PageRank, you wouldn"t have tried to get a link from these sites on the day that they launched. Now, they are all among the most popular websites on the internet. Would you like a link now? Fat chance you"ll get one now, but you might have in these sites" early days.
A website without PageRank on your Google toolbar may be the best place to get a link from, as long as the website is good. Today"s PR0 site is tomorrow"s potential authoritative PR8 site. Too many website owners and webmasters cannot see past the present day and it unknowingly hurts them.
The more PR0 sites that link to you today, the better. With each link, the odds of a high PR authority site linking to you in the future increases.
Trade-Pals.com has a Google PageRank of 5 today. But that doesn't matter because tomorrow it will be different. Why not get a link from TradePals' Pro Advice section where you could submit a business tip on a variety of topics, like internet marketing for example, in exchange for a link to your website?
