People are always posting in forums and asking me when I think the next PageRank update will be. I am going to post this here in hopes some of you will read it and use what you read to be able to predict this stuff whenever you want. Basically, Google updates its pagerank roughly 4 times per year, on a 3 month basis. The previous Google PR update was right before New Years day. Therefor, my personal prediction on the next PR update will be around late March or at the latest, early April. If you haven’t been building links lately then now is the time to get busy. It’s already the middle of February and you will need to allow Google time to discover your new backlinks. Incase you want some ideas on places to submit your links for free check out these ideas:

Comment on DoFollow blogs – You can search for dofollow blog directories. Read their blog and leave a useful comment. It may get approved giving you a free dofollow backlink!
DoFollow Web Directories – Another simple way to get free backlinks. Search Google for “dofollow web directories” and start submitting!
Relevant Link Exchanges – It’s been said time and time again but these are about the best kinds of PR links you can get. Find relevant sites to your niche and email them asking for a simple link exchange. You give them a link from a resource or sub page of your website, and they do the same in return!

Get your backlink building done now and look for the next Pagerank update around late March or early April of 2010!

Article submissions can be a great way to gain backlinks to your site or blog. Blog post’s can be a great way to add more content and get more page’s indexed in the search engines, thus sending your more traffic. So what do both of these things have in common? They both deal with writing and and typing. Not only that though, the way a search engine such as Google treats both of these can have a huge impact on your site.

Many people fail to realize how important having unique content can really be for your website. What do I mean by unique content? I mean typing it out yourself and not copying what someone else has already shared and put on the web. When you copy someones content word for word often times search engines will flat out ignore this content. Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo actually announced earlier this year that they would be supporting a new tag that should be used anytime you are posting duplicate content to your website.

I don’t think I can stress enough how important it is to always write blog posts by hand yourself, rather than visiting someone elses blog and copying their post – or automatically downloading it via autoblogger scripts. Same with articles; if you are every writing articles to submit to article directories try and write one unique article for each directory rather than writing one article and submitting it to directories. By writing a completely unique article by hand and submitting it to only one directory it can rank higher in the SERPs, therefor getting you more traffic from it. Google and other search engines absolutely love uniquely written content.
