PageRank, Search Engines, Technorati, Alexa… if there’s a ranking system that’s gotten popular bloggers and webmasters alike are looking for better ranks.
I’m no exception to that statement.
Because of my desire to understand what drives better rankings, more visitors, and stronger relationships with other bloggers I have started my Race to Rank series.
Unlike many series that have a clearly defined start and ending date with a specific number of posts, there is no visible end to this series. Increasing rank with any of these sites are vital to a someone who wants to become a successful blogger (me).
Additionally, I believe that ranking secrets are meant to be shared. It’s better for all of us. So why would I not want to share what I am learning with all of you, my readers?
This page will be continually updated when a post for Race for Rank is made. You’re welcome to share your advice, tips, tricks, or any information you believe would be useful. I’m looking forward to the conversation that we can create with a series of posts such as these.
For progress reports, I’ll be documenting the following information:
