Getting best out of Digg | AdKlicks

For better PR or for better traffic or ranking in search engine results, social networking sites are fast gaining prominence. Digg, deli.cio.us or stumble upon have fast emerged as the leading social networking sites. Does linking to these sites help? Today there are dozens of site that encourage swap digging each other’s post. As the system stands to day, digging is resorted to generating back links so that the site gets better PR, ranking and traffic.
1. Digg users have poor ad- click rate. Webmasters (pun intended) have a sort of ad-blindness and have low ad click rate.
2. Digg visitors would have tendency to comment on your site on Digg itself and not on your site.
3. Mostly tech geeks are known to visit digg and visitors for other commercial sites have low tendency to refer digg.
4. The digg link of the site normally appears before the actual link of the site, which the digg points.

I am not trying to discourage use of digg here, but this is a request to webmasters not to exploit the system by artificially creating fake “diggs”. A good content, a fresh news, or other tech savvy article does get good traffic. It may accompany a poor ad click rate, but nevertheless it increases the visibility rate of your site, if the content is good, it will add to returning visitors as well.

The myths and facts about Google Page Rank | AdKlicks

Higher page rank, which essentially is a result of number and quality of links that a page has, is any webmaster’s dream. Common experience is that higher page rank may not mean higher traffic too.

Google has not declared much about the algorithm that governs page rank. The chase for page rank is old school thinking. No doubt that Page Rank does not ensure website ranking and thus traffic, but as a web user what do we want; whether the results should come sorted in order of relevance of content or the page rank?

To the question, that page rank does not guarantee traffic, answer is should search engines rank the result by page rank or the relevancy of the page to your search query? For ranking in search results, apart from page rank, other factors as font size, title, headings, anchor text, word frequency, word proximity, file name, directory name, and domain name play important role.

Since we are unlikely to get a definitive answer from Google as to how its Page Rank affects the ranking of the results, can we afford to ignore the Page rank?

A site with high page rank is quite likely to get higher ranking where keywords match.
