Google PageRank Explained For Modern Times

Comments Off

I imagine Rand had been getting quite sick of answering so many questions about PageRank and its (un)importance when it comes to SEO. So so so many people still think obtaining PageRank is the be all end all in this game, and that’s the last thing you should be worrying about. In this day and age, it’s all about great content and a well built website to make the rest follow. Rand does a really bloody good job of explaining the system for anyone else out there still wondering what to make of it all.

March 15 | Link Building Videos | Ryan Clark

It has been a while since I posted a Whiteboard Friday post from the fine folks at SEOmoz. So when I saw Rand rocking that snazzy sweater, I just new I had to do my part and share it here. I wish more people would watch this video because they have no idea the nightmare that is cleaning it all up. This video covers a whole spectrum of linking topics that will cause trouble, as well what to do to stay out of the black hole that Google can put you in at a moments notice. I highly recommend checking out their original post because they graciously provided a transcript.

I really enjoyed Rand’s talk for this episode of Whiteboard Friday which goes into detail into something called nudges. Most of you by now are asking yourself, “what the heck are nudges?”. While I won’t go into much detail, I’ll let Will Critchlow do that for you since he kicked it all off.
