As well as having relevant content and keywords, another way that Google determines the PageRank of a web site is by the number of links to it (incoming links or BackLinks). It will look at how many other pages on the internet think that the web page is important. If the web page is linked to by many pages with a high PageRank it may also receive a high rank. It’s also important that the links coming from other web pages are relevant. ie: The web page providing the link should be in a similar niche. If there are no links to a web page then Google will see there is no support for that page and it will not receive a high PageRank.

We also talked about the highest PageRank sites on the web at present. There are only around 13 websites that receive a PageRank of 10 (as of April 2010).

I also released a new website that Julie and I have been building which we think you will find to be a useful tool, called MyMarketingLinks.com. My Marketing Links is a collection of thumbnail website images that link to that website.

I setup one of these pages for my last Internet Marketing Retreat and everyone found it very useful to use as their home page. It makes it easier to find the website you’re looking for when building your internet marketing/affiliate websites without trying to remember each and every domain name for all of the websites that you use. You may find it useful to set as your home page – then you’ll never have to search for that website domain again!

If you feel there’s a website that has been missed, that you use often, let me know and we can add it for you. Enjoy!

Google Analytics Goal and Conversion Tracking can tell us exactly what your users are doing (or not doing) on your site. Tonights webinar will show you how to setup a Goal, and create a Sales Funnel towards that goal.

Also discussed are the tools available in the Google Webmaster Tools. A warning though, my theme didn’t change the Header to allow me to verify the site, and I haven’t figured out yet what was going on, but I’m sure you’ll get the idea!!

It’s about 150MB, so download it now and learn how to track your conversions!

In this webinar I show how to setup Conversion Tracking in your own websites, and also in a Clickbank order form. This allows us to see exactly which keyword and ad combination are responsible for the conversion/sale.

When you do turn the Conversion Tracking on, you will see some new columns in the Adwords editor interface:

With the new Google Similar Images Search that has been added to Google Labs they are hoping that image search will now improve.  

When searching for an image, “Similar Images” will appear as a link underneath the thumbnail images of your search results.  By clicking on “similar images” below the image you like, it will return all images that look visually similar to the one you selected.  Using visual similarity, you don’t have to refine the text/keyword of your search, instead, you can just click on the similar images link of an image you like.

A very cool tool for finding many images in a particular category with a similar look, it will narrow down the results to exactly what your trying to find!

To try it for yourself go to: Google Similar Images Search

Happy Searching!
