Anyone that has a good understanding of SEO will tell you that Google is the most sought after search engine for obtaining good listings. If you're site wants traffic from targeted customers, Google sets the standards for what you as a webmaster, web designer or business site owner, want to follow.
With that being said some people think that PR is not as powerful as it used to be. Well, that is true. However, it's better than it used to be because as Google makes changes to how their search engine spiders and robots analyze your site, it becomes a better search experience for the users.
So, what about PR? Well, Page Rank is a small but still important part of SEO. I don't have time to go through a list of details today, but if your site has PR, it means other people are thinking well of it. If your site is new, you want to make sure it is gaining PR over time.
Reddingseo.com now has a PR of 1. It is a small but important start. Over time this PR will grow to a higher number. My goal is a 4. Obtaining a higher PR is possible, but it requires more time and effort. Let's see how things go and just how long it will take to get that PR4.
Until next time,

The Key to SEO
The Key to SEO is .... well, you'll have to read this blog...
Every now and then I check on my page position or as some ranking as some refer to it. My position for the keyword search term, "Redding SEO" has remained unchallenged for the number one spot in Google. The other term, "Redding search engine optimization" is constantly changing. The highest it's been is #7 and today it's #10 or #13, depending on which browser you are using.
The most work I am doing for this site is checking my stats. I really am far too busy to work on anything more than that. However, it is good to note that my on site work that I have done before uploading my site online is what has helped me to rank rather well for the three keyword search terms that people will use if they live in my area.
On site SEO is very important and in some cases it can be the only thing you ever have to do for obtaining a good position in Google. Yahoo and MSN are very lazy about how they position "related" content. In fact they are pretty far behind Google in how they manage linking. Hackers and people who use bad SEO technique can still manipulate their page position rather easily using technique that provide a very bad experience for the users.
It is not hard to understand why Google is the number one choice for searching online. Once you use Google, you won't be going back to Yahoo or another other search engine unless you're someone like me doing SEO type research.
My offline work is taking about 4 to 5 days of my time. And I'm not too excited about working where I am not needed. So, I'll let my Reddingseo.com take a life of it's own for now.
Oh... BTW... my article that I submitted is ranked at number ONE for the keyword search term, Redding Search Engine Optimization. ;) My article also drives people to my site. So, either way you look at it, just a little off site effort have helped me acheive the top page position for the two main search terms I have targeted.
The key is patience really. A site needs to be built with SEO, it needs to age and prove itself, and there are off site methods that require a lot of patience and maintenance, especially for the harder more competitive search terms.
