Every blogger loves when the plans comes to existence. We work so hard to know things better and the good part is sharing with others, so that we not only rise ourselves but our fellow bloggers too. Google Page Rank was once a mystery and still remains the same. And Link building is quite popular in the bloggers arena. But what if both are taken to weigh which weighs more? This is a question of reasoning, so as to why should your site need both or either one of them.

Google Page Rank - Improve it

Its been some days since Google last updated its page rank. The previous one was in feb and then may 2012.  Google page rank is a system that assigns a rank from 0-10 based on the novelty of the site and usability.

• Easy Navigable through out the site.
• Having breadcrumbs in posts and pages and not on homepage.
• Google custom search space for visitors.
• Separate file for stylesheet (CSS) to be implemented in the head tag of site, this not only improves performance of the site but also aids for easy code so that Google bots recognize your site as high quality.
• Similar separate file for javascripts, CSS, and other initialization files.
• Build high quality links to your site or rather just be still or don't build links at all. We don't recommend building links from low or poor quality sites, this will only demote your site's reputation and this doesn't interest Google.
• Its always about quality content and its always has been the content.

Link Building - Construct it 

Its observed that, once you get started with your site most of the blogger go for link building instead focusing on content.Yes, Link building should be there to an extent but not for newbie bloggers. I've also observed that newbie bloggers tend to look for easy ways to link building and download pirated link building softwares and waiting for an good Google page rank, well it might work the first time, but in the long run you will loose every other link juice eventually. So, if you are building backlinks to your site, first maintain standard for your site, keep your brand stand out among other bloggers. Once your earned some reputation, its on baby. You will fly like an eagle. Steps to do for link building:

• Focus on content, say atleast 25 posts of an average 500word each. Then start link building. Now why we say that you start with content is that is need some anchor keywords that drives traffic to your site, so that you can use that for further link building.
• The easy way to start is by visiting other niche sites and commenting about the wellness of the article.
• Start threads on forum like Digital Point and similar ones.
• Always build quality links.
• Start guest post, and use the anchor texts related to your site and link back.

Google Page Rank vs Link Building

Both Google page rank and link building go hand in hand. But if you consider on the whole, I vote for link building. Getting juices from high quality sites. Google page rank is just a repercussion of your site. Google PR is just a notion of your site reputation and ranking.

Tips to determine high quality links:

• See for alexa ranking, a well within half a million is pretty good. The important thing you need to look out for is the alexa links. 
• Watch out for alexa links, here's a view on that
  50 : Okay
  100-150 : Average
  150-250: Good
  250-400: Great
  >500 : Superb
  This is applicable for site whose alexa rank is >1000 and for ranks <1000 its a different scenario as the number of links are in thousands. Same table above multiple by 1000.
• Its not just commenting and posting on sites and forums, fetch you backlinks; but bloggers should foresee your content and provide a provenance to your site. So, when will a blogger does this only when they find your content to be awesome.
