FREE Google Pagerank Check & Webmaster Tools

Check Your Google Pagerank
Google assigns a Pagerank value for every website it indexes. Google Pagerank is assigned on a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 indicates the highest (best) possible Pagerank. A Google Pagerank of 0 generally indicates a new website or a website with little content and few inbound links. The higher your Google Pagerank, the more likely your website will be found on the internet. You can check your Google Pagerank with the webmaster tool below.

Submit your website to the 4 core search engine submit links. These 4 site submit links control over 95% of all search engine traffic and include Google, Yahoo, Bing (MSN) and the Open Directory Project (ODP). Please follow the instructions provided by the search engines when clicking the submit site link. For Google, Bing and Yahoo, you will have to create a user account if you do not already have one. We strongly recommend that you do create an account with each of these search engines, as they provide many other resources useful for webmasters and SEO service providers.

Once your site starts receiving listings on the search engines and other directories, periodically check Google Pagerank to see if progress is being made. It may take up to 6 months for a brand-new site to reach a Google Pagerank of 1 without a sincere effort at SEO, or hiring an SEO professional.

Generate HTML, XML or Google Sitemaps
It's hard for a search engine to rank a web page if it can't find it. New web pages, or hard-to-follow links such as Flash, certain JavaScript links, or other dynamic links, are not always easily found by the search engine robots. Search engine robots are responsible for discovering new web pages and website content. If the search engine robots cannot find a new web page, then it will not be indexed on the search engines. The more indexed content and web pages that your web site has, the better your chances are at improving Google Pagerank. Building a sitemap is a good way to help maximize the amount of content indexed by the search engines, and improving your Google Pagerank.

SharpNET recommends the sitemap generation resources found at XML-Sitemaps.com. Sitemaps are highly recommended for all websites, even websites that are easy for a search engine robot to crawl. They are simply so easy to implement, that there is no reason not to.
