The Archives On Other Blog Sites Can Be Your PR Treasure
- by Garry Conn
There are so many blog sites out here in the blogosphere. I am sure that you find it a challenge to get a spot light on your own blog site. I do too… and just like you, I want many people to find and read my articles. We all want this, and here is a little innovative tip that will help you. Please pass this article around to other people along the way. There isn’t much more we can do in effort to teach people how to use the search bar… but what can do is establish more daily traffic, raising not the percentage of people that view your archives but the number of people that view them. This is an article you will want to save and forward to a friend.
A blog article in an archived status typically is old, written months ago, and doesn’t draw a lot of human interest. However, it does catch the eye of Google and dealing with the latency PR updates, it seems that articles that are six months or older hit a second or even third PR update wave. The result is a page that has a PR as high as 5 or even 6. Everyone that knows the basics about PR, know that its great to have a link back from a higher PR page. Well, here is your opportunity. Start searching for relevant archived articles that interest you, as well as your viewers, and contribute towards these pages by adding information to the post. Add your comments and opinions, or offering helpful references or suggestions. By all means, don’t spam. Have an eager desire to publish content to these pages with the good intentions.
Next Question: How Do I Find Relevant Archived Blog Articles? Answer: Google… search for things that interest you as well as your viewers, and keep an eye out for pages that are blogs. URL’s from blog sites are very easy to recognize, here is an example:
Take note of the /2006/02/25/ and /2006/03/10/ URL. It is important to become familiar with this format because when viewing the Google results page, this is what you will need to look for when searching for archived blog articles that are relevant to the search terms you inquired on.

Yeah, I’ve alway seen SEO folks saying these kinda stuff… and it works to some extent

Works to some extent? please share your ideas with me on how this wouldn’t work? I would love to learn because I don’t want to waste time doing things that aren’t helpful for the BTI. You don’t buy into this at all… I am more less focusing on the helping the PR ratings of individual pages compared to just a publisher’s home page. On that note… it would be great for you to share some ideas that You think would work or be better than the one in this article? I look foward to hearing your responses.

Thilak’s PR is 6. The tool seoquake for firefox will help with judging the page ranks of older pages.

Hey Jason,
Thilak’s home page may be PR6, but I am more less paying attention to individual pages within a site itself. Thilak worded his comment making it seem like the concept of doing this doesn’t work, I believe spending the extra time researching which articles to provide a link to are very important. I am just one that better trusts knowing what I have linked to manually compared to the sites a software program will link up for me. I appreciate the reference I can see how that would help. But you and I both know that I don’t use Firefox too much, so that might not be all that helpful to me. But, I am sure there are many PR tools that rock which aren’t extension based. I might look into that… thanks for the tip!

no problem. The only reason I suggest SEOquake is because when I use google like in your above example, the PR info, google index, and alexa rank show up right underneath the search listing for each result. It is a great way to find out what the pr of a post is in terms of reference

Now thats cool! I like that… can you take a screenshot? You are really trying to get me to use Firefox again, aren’t you! LOL!!
Ok… I will atleast load it up and try it out. But really, there isn’t anything like this for IE? Come on now, don’t hold back on me…
So yes, what you have described does sound pretty cool… and sounds like a tool that would aid in finding excellent articles to comment on.
Talk to you soon,
Garry
