Quality Webmaster Blog

It’s more important that you are ranking high with certain keywords than what your PR is. There are many websites that have lower PR and still are listing number one for certain keywords.

But if you are really worried and want high Page Rank, try the following:

1) fresh content like no other page out there on the internet. More you have, the better.
2) link other sites to that page(s), the more the better, they can be inbound or external links from other sites.
3) use a blog for faster indexing of those pages when a link is placed on your blog to your new content.
4) submit to article directories and place the link of the pages you want a higher PR on.
5) once your other pages have higher PR, strategically place other PR pages that link up to the new PR pages and force the PR ranking by using the term of revelance given from Page A to page B.

Website templates are very affordable and they save you a lot of effort and time when you want to create a new layout for your website. However, a lot of people make mistakes in the process of choosing and using a web template and end up with something that was unlike the image they had in mind. Here are some guidelines to help you avoid those mistakes.

The first obvious mistake you should be aware of is using a template that is very popular. If many people use the same template, your website will not appear unique at all and your credibility as a solid, different website will be tarnished. In other words, you will appear generic just like your next-door neighbours.

To whole point of using a web template is to save time and effort. You just change the title and appropriate details and you’re done. The biggest mistake one makes is to customize the template beyond recognisation. While that may be good in the sense that you’re creating a unique graphic, you’re defying the very purpose of using a web template — saving time and effort.

However, on the opposite side, if a template you purchase is suitable but some changes must be made to suit your site’s theme, then you will have to take some time to make the changes. For example, you can find a very nice template that suits your hobby site except the original designer has put an image of stamps in the header. You can find images of garden plants and spades to replace the stamps for your gardening hobby site. However, do only make the necessary changes and don’t redesign the whole template.

In some circumstances, some people simply make the wrong choice of templates. This is a very subjective issue but you have to be careful in selecting templates to suit your audience. Do not choose templates just because they are pretty, choose them because they serve your purpose.
