Anyone well-versed with the operation of the worldwide web is aware that Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the bread and butter of most websites. Search engine ranking determines a website’s ability to earn money. The higher the rank, the higher the rate on advertising, not to mention the seeming endless opportunities that will keep coming to the website.

For most of us vying for recognition in the web, I am certain we have tried to learn as much as we can on SEO — getting tips from webmasters and pros in the industry. Major drivers in SEO is content and incoming links. Search engines such as Google and Yahoo place value on the relevant content of the website and the authority of incoming links. And when it comes to authority, search engines provide higher value to edu links and gov links rather than the traditional links. The rationale for this stems from the fact that there are fewer EDU and gov sites in the web and these sites should be registered educational institutions or government agencies. Even SEO experts agree that one link from an EDU domain will exponential increase the value of a website over numerous links from traditional sites.

If you are looking to get linked to an EDU site, you can buy links at Edutextlink.com. Edutextlink has a network of EDU websites with PRs ranging from 6-9. They will guarantee that your links (up to 10 links per page) will be professionally written, strategically placed on pages with relevant content, and uploading of your links will be implemented at regular time intervals to show a natural improvement rather than a one-time flooding of EDU links over a short period of time. Edutextlink will charge a one-time price which ensures that your links will be properly indexed by search engines and will remain that way for one year.

So, if you’re scrambling around trying to get as much links as you can, maybe it’s time to take a breather and analyze your position. Remember that quantity of links is not the name of the game. Getting links to substandard websites can even harm your current rank. Contact Edutextlink and get value for your money.

Since I established my blog, I have been scrambling around trying to ask friends and even strangers to include my blog in their blogroll. My blog’s chance of increasing its page rank depends on how many sites are linked to it. It’s frustrating to think that most bloggers now try to get more links rather than improving the content of their blog. It’s not the ideal way the blogosphere should work. With the way Google and Alexa has created their ranking system, number of readers which determine the quality of a blog has not been appropriately measured.

Thus, IZEA engineered RealRank which highlights exclusively on determining the traffic of individual blogs within the worldwide web. RealRank has become the tool that provides advertisers the means to analyze the network and influence of blogs. This assists them in determining which blogs will produce better results for ads. On the other hand, RealRank informs bloggers and even researchers or readers which blogs publish quality posts and provide essential information on the web.

RealRank measures blogs at 70% daily unique visitors, 20% daily active inbound links, and 10% through daily page views as reported by the IZEA Toolkit. In contrast, Google PageRank determines its ranking based on a combination of number of links and vague manual overrides. As such, it is not based on actual traffic — just how many people you are able to bargain with to make a link to your site. Upgrades and downgrades are so arbitrary that it can even hit you when you least expect it. Meanwhile, Alexa Rank utilizes the Alexa toolbar users’ activities to get an estimate of a site’s actual traffic and an approximate percentage of surfers who will likely visit it. Since the calculation is based on a sample, it is hardly accurate.

IZEA’s RealRank is not based on a sample nor on estimates. It is a more accurate monitor since it measures actual traffic. A blog with a high RealRank actually has bragging rights on the extent of its readers or followers. People don’t just include your site in their blogroll or provide links to your site. They actually go there to check out what you have to say.

So, if you really want to get a blog rank that is accurate and reliable, there is no need to bribe site owners or pull anyone’s leg to get linked. Visit IZEARanks and use RealRank.
