I’m a newbie to SEO. How can I increase popularity of my site for search engines?

Actual toolbar PageRank is not live, so pages with a PR0 that are well linked from a sites homepage do In-Fact have and pass PageRank. So never rule out a PR 0 unless the site itself looks spammy or the pagfe is disconnected from the home page..

There are many factors involved in deciding on links and link quality and whether the PR 0 will have any value, that will be in an upcoming post here as it will take some time to write accurately.

Dr. Vikas Sharma
Most comments use a nofollow tag, so they are preventing Google from passing PageRank (PR). Some SEOs believe that Google does still in fact pass PR from nofollowed links as they are reported in Google backlinks, other believe there is no value reported or not.

Its very unclear whether there is any indicator of comment links helping rankings. If you did a campaign solely using this approach and noticed PageRank increases and better rankings then you could determine that to be a solution. I cannot give you a definitive answer as we do NOT use that as a method. Comments do however pass good traffic from high trafficked websites. They can also help you establish yourself as a reputable source on blogs where half of what goes on happens in the comments. So view them from that perspective rather than PR.

Jess Ba-ad:
Glad you found it useful! It takes 1 link for Google to find and Pass PageRank to your site. Of course in today’s world, the more the merrier! The better the site that links to you, the better the link, no matter what the PR is. I would rather have a PR 0 link from Google.com, then a PR 5 link from we-make-web-spam.com

This article can help me a lot with my promotion to be noticed by search engines. I wonder how many incoming links before google considers increasing the page rank.

Sorry you feel that way, you should have at lease read it before commenting so we could respect your opinion based on other statements made in the post about the popularity theory.

This post is based on Popularity Types and NOT to dispute whether links or content is king.

I will consider that discussion for a future post, its surely not an original debate to say the least.

“on-page content is treated secondary, if not even tertiary.”

That is absolutely ridiculous and completely without any basis in fact or documentation. I stopped reading this post at this point.
