WOW! It has been a long time since I did an seo / link building article on my blog. I hope to start doing more of them as search engine traffic is the best kind to have. Well today I was searching through my webmaster forum and I noticed that someone wanted to know how to get inner pageranking pages the fastest.

While I do not believe in selling pagerank links myself I know lots do and want to make money at it so I have to cover it in some way to ensure those readers stay happy as well.

To build an inner pagerank you first need to understand what a true inner pagerank is, then we can learn how to achieve inner pagerank quite easily.

Basically inner pagerank is a sub-page of your website that has a pagerank. Don’t ask me why I wanted to clarify that as you all would be laughing for days at some of the thoughts ive heard from clients and forum members but remember that inner pagerank is pagerank on a websites sub-page!

Now, the big question is how do we get inner pagerank without to much work? Well there are several techniques we can implement to our website to ensure we get inner pagerank. Here are a couple of the main ones and be sure to comment below if you have any other inner pagerank ideas!

1. Get a SiteMap- The sitemap is a file (usually .xml) that the search engines can read and index all your pages properly. When your pages are indexed correctly the search engines can automatically assign the proper pagerank to your inner pages.

2. Hyper Link Your Pages- One of the reasons blogs do so well in the serps is because they are nearly perfectly interlinked from page to page. If your not using a blog you need to link to the pages you want inner pagerank on. I find it best to link to these pages in the header, sidebar or lower right sidebar. This way when the search engines read your page they are directed to your sub-pages. Not only that but by cross-linking like this your homepage pagerank can and will be carried over to these inner pages.

3. Link To Them- One of the best ways to get inner pagerank is to simply link to the page you want to have pagerank. I have built several sites where I tested this and have had great results! In fact I had one site that had a pagerank 6 inner page and the rest of the site was all PR5. The same principle applies to homepages, if your homepage is a pr6 whatever you link off of it will generally be a pr5 to pr4. Again this is why blogs get such good rankings, its all about the links for the search engines!

Once you understand the above 3 techniques you should have no problem getting inner pagerank to your pages. What about you, do you have any other or deeper thoughts on inner pagerank and how to get it?

In a recent post I received a idea / question in a comment from David J. Parnell and he wanted to know my thoughts on blog carnivals.

My first reaction was “How Should I Know?” but after doing a little research on the term I believe I understand what it is.

Wiki explains it pretty well. A blog carnival is a type of blog event. It is similar to a magazine, in that it is dedicated to a particular topic, and is published on a regular schedule, often weekly or monthly. Each edition of a blog carnival is in the form of a blog article that contains permalinks to other blog articles on the particular topic.

What I gathered from the above statement may not be 100% accurate but I believe it is so here it is. I believe a blog carnival is either…

• A. Softback Magazine you can pickup in nearly any magazine / bookstore. 
• B. A post / website that has multiple articles which link out to deeper articles of different blogs. Much like my Link Loving Wednesday post.

Now which one of these is the right one? I won’t lie to you, am unsure which is correct or if I even hit the mark at all but whether I’m right or wrong the rest of this post is going to be helpful.

Basically I am going to show you how to create a decent looking Link Love post and I have a few tips to help you out! When I create my link loving wednesday post I like to use this format…

• Title
• Short Info Story
• Link Love Posts With Basic Descriptions
• End Post With A Thank You

I believe by doing this I grab the readers attention through the whole post. I believe keeping the reader within the post is important not only for their sake but also for my advertisers / sponsors. The longer a reader is on my page the better chance an ad has of getting clicked.

I believe that was pretty self explanatory but I want to break it down and kind of explain what should be in each section so all of you understand where I am coming from.

Title- This is where you should create the title of your link love posts, for instance I am calling mine “Link Loving Wednesday” its not the normal Link Love name but I believe it is catchy and so I recommend you come up with something catchy, for instance perhaps “Sunday Sink Your Teeth In Links Post” just keep it short, sweet and to the point!

Short Info Story- Right here is where I may explain what went on this last week and maybe a little info about why I chose to skip a day of posting… Whatever little news snippet I may want to cover, its not exactly relevant to the link love posts but I use my link loving wednesday as an update day as well!

Link Love Posts With Basic Descriptions- When I link out to other blogs I like to give a small description as to why I believe this certain post is helpful to my readers. If you lead your readers in the right direction they will still take your opinion as important.

End Post With A Thank You- I like to end my link loving posts with a thank you to the above bloggers for creating such awesome content that I can share with my readers. I also like to use this section to pitch my RSS feed or news about upcoming posts in the next week!

PS: Later this week for those of you who don’t care for the design currently on IBB I have a post coming out all about it and why I will be sticking with this theme for a while, trust me this one is worth reading!
