What are backlinks and PageRank, and why do I want them?
A backlink, sometimes called an inlink, is a link that's on a site outside yours. This backlink goes directly to your website.
Buying Backlinks has become a very popular method for any size website to get Gold Stars from Google™.
The reason why backlinks are popular is because Google™ loves sites with backlinks pointing to your website.
Google™ grants websites with lots of backlinks with a high PageRank. Each time another site links to yours, you get gold stars from Google™.
A back link from a PR3 site is worth stars, a backlink from a PR6 site is worth 12 stars because the higher the rank, the number of gold stars increase.
For example, Google is a PR10, Microsoft a PR10, eBay was a PR9 it's now a PR8. The Twitter phenomenon almost overnight, became a PR9. My client A-1 Plumbing and Heating is a healthy PR3, the domain is 2 years old.
A new client with a website only 7 weeks on the net Deep Sky Glass is a PR0. Their competitor with a #1 listing for Dichroic Jewelry has a PR2. Deep Sky Glass will overtake her very soon and be firmly seated as #1 with my
service.
PageRank is like a person that graduates
Summa Cum Laude versus a graduate with a 3.5 grade point average. A new client, Deep Sky Glass Dichroic Jewelry is a PR0, the site is only 1 month old. After this service, they will be a PR4 in 12 months allowing them to easily overtake their #1 competitor who only has a PR2.
The average 1 year old site that has decent listings but only a few backlinks is a PR1
