What this means is making your website appear former to others in various search engines such as Google.

Billions of people use the internet, so having your product or website smartly marketed through the internet will be the key to bringing in clients.What SEO can do for you is maximize how a search engine will work for you.PageRankPageRank is the numerical value which google nominatea to websites and it represents the authority of the website in the eyes of Google. It is calculated from the PageRank of all backlinks that point to specific web page. More links means higher PageRank, and links on pages with higher PageRank are more important than others. Links can be pronounced with the nofollow attribute–such links do not devote to the PageRank calculation. While PageRank is a very convenient way to quickly determine relevancy or authority of the page, the number itself is not so important.

Often SEO experts and webmasters have different opinions on how to get a website ranked faster, or higher in search results (SERP). Site age, content, links, speed, quality, freshness and validation all come into play. One thing everyone agrees, though, is that generally speaking the more backlinks to one website the better positioning in Google and other search engines. How to obtain these backlinks, what kind, from where, how many backlinks and many other details is where we can find a plethora of opinions, software utilities, and different techniques. These go from traditional manual link building to the more sophisticated and controversial black hat and spamming techniques.

In this article I will try to explain how to use one of the most popular backlinks builder software on the market, ScrapeBox. At its core this utility is basically a spamming tool, but before you may think that for this reason you should avoid using it (or not), please read on, for ScrapeBox is a serious tool that can be used for many different things and not necessarily just spamming.

Two things I want to say about this software is first, that I am not in any way involved with the authors, and second, that ScrapeBox is very intelligent, very well made, constantly updated and well worth the little money it costs. It is actually a pleasure to use, unlike many SEO utilities on the market. Please do not try to get this software illegally, instead purchase it because it is definitely worth the investment if you are serious in building your own arsenal of SEO tools.

The interface is at first slightly intimidating, but in fact, it is quite easy to navigate. The design is graphically oriented to what the software does in a semi-hierarchical order, divided in panels. From top-left, these are: 1) Harvesting, where you find blogs of interests to your niche 2) Harvested URLS’s management 3) Further management. From the bottom-left we have 4) Search engines and proxies management 5) The ‘action’ panel, i.e. comments posting, pinging and relative management. So basically it is quite easy to understand what to do from the first time you run the program. In the following paragraphs I will be giving a basic walkthrough, so please make sure you are still with me so far and read on.

First you want to find proxies, these are necessary so search engines such as Google do not think that are receiving automated queries from the same IP and also, since ScrapeBox has an internal browser, to browse and post anonymously. Clicking on Manage Proxies opens the Proxies Harvester window which can quickly find and verify multiple proxies. Of course good quality proxies are also being offered for sale on the web, but the proxies that ScrapeBox finds are generally good enough, although they must be regenerated very often. Notice that we haven’t even started yet and already have proxies finder and anonymous browsing, see how different parts of ScrapeBox are worth the price of the software alone, and what I meant when I said that you can use this program for many different things? Once verified the proxies are transferred to the main window, where you can also select the search engines you want to use, and (very nice) the time span of returned results (days, weeks, months etc.). After this first operation, you go to the first panel, where keywords and an (optional) footprint search can be entered. For example imagine we want to post on WordPress blogs related to a particular product niche. We can right-click and paste our list of keywords in the panel (we can also scrape the keywords with a scraper or a wonder-wheel. In fact, ScrapeBox is also a great keywords utility), then we select WordPress and hit Start Harvesting. ScrapeBox will start looking for WordPress blogs related to this niche. ScrapeBox is fast and getting huge lists of URLs does not take long. The list automatically goes in the second panel, ready for some trimming. But let’s stay in the first window for a moment. As obvious, you can look for other kind of blogs (BlogEngine etc.) but more importantly, you can enter your own custom footprint (in combination with your keywords list). Clicking on the tiny down arrow reveals a selection of pre-built footprint, but you can also enter entirely new footprints in the empty field. These footprints basically follow the same Google advanced syntax, so if you enter for example: intext:”powered by wordpress”+”leave a comment”-”comments are closed” you will find WordPress blogs open to comment. Do not forget the keywords, which you can also type on the same line. For example a footprint like this one: inurl:blog “post a comment” +”leave a comment” +”add a comment” -”comments closed” -”you must be logged in” + “iphone” is perfectly acceptable and will find sites with the term blog in the url, where comments are not closed, for a keyword such as Iphone. Last thing before we move on to the commenting part: you can also get very good quality backlinks if you register in forums rather that posting/commenting, in fact even better because you can have a profile with a dofollow link to your website. For example, typing “I have read, understood and agree to these rules and conditions” + “Powered By IP.Board” will find all the Invision Power Board forums open for registration! Building profiles requires some manual work of course, but using macro utilities such as RoboForm greatly reduces the time. FIY the biggest forum and community platforms are:

Please notice the number of results that you can get, literally billions of sites waiting for you to add your links! You can easily understand how with ScrapeBox things can get really interesting and how powerful this software is.

It is clear that the harvesting panel is where most of the magic happens, you should spend some time playing with it, and above all, being creative and intelligent. For example, you could check your own site(s) to see the amount of backlinks (or indexed pages, with the site:youdomain operator). Also, what about spying your competitors backlinks? You could enter link:competitorsite.com and find the sites that links to it, then you could get the same backlinks yourself from the same sites to give you an edge. Sadly Google’s link: operator does not give all the links (Matt Cutts of Google explains why on YouTube) but it is still very useful. (ScrapeBox however helps us once again with a useful add-on called Backlink checker which finds all the links to a site from Yahoo Site Explorer. You can then export and add these to the links from the link: operator, then using the Blog Analyzer you can post on your competitors links and get their same rank!). As said be creative as much as you can.

We are now looking at the second panel (URL’s Harvested) where automatically ScrapeBox saves our results. Also automatically (if you want to) duplicate URLs are deleted. After spending much time and attention harvesting and testing different footprints, these URLs are obviously precious to us, and ScrapeBox offers a large number of functions to manage them. We can save and export (txt, Excel etc.) the list, compare them with previous lists (to delete already used sites for example), and most importantly, we can check the quality of the sites, i.e. Google/Bing/Yahoo indexed and PageRank. We can for example only keep sites within a certain PageRank range. (The PageRank checker is incredibly fast). Notice that in the footprint we can also use the site: operator, for example to find.edu and.org sites only. This and the PageRank checker allow us to harvest really excellent quality links. There is also a function to grab emails addresses from the sites. We can also right-click and visit the URL via our default browser or the internal (proxied) one. For example imagine that you have found some high rank.edu or.org sites open for comments, you definitely do not want to automatically post generic content on these, you may therefore decide to manual post using the internal browser. In fact, for many users, ScrapeBox ends here, i.e. most people do not use the automatic commenter at all. I indeed do agree with this technique, for a single PR7 backlink with a good anchor text is better than hundreds of generic links in my mind. Then again, as said in the beginning, there are many opinions on this. ScrapeBox does offer the option to build thousands of automatic backlinks overnight. Is this effective? To me, not much. Is ScrapeBox bad because of this? No, because it also offers you the capability of much more creative backlinking (and SEO in general, and research) work. I would like to open a parenthesis on this. First the much debated Google “sandbox” mode, meaning the rumour that if you build 3,000 links on a site overnight Google will put the website out of search results because of suspected “spamming”. This is in my opinion obviously not true, for one could do the same for a competitor and ruin them. Second thing, programs like ScrapeBox keep selling thousands of copies and the number of blogs open for un-moderated commenting are limited and heavily targeted, especially for competitive niches. This means that blind commenting is basically useless. You can see that yourself just browsing, there are thousands of worthless blogs with pages and pages of fake comments such as “thank you for this”, “this has been helpful” and so on and so forth. Having said that, the commenting panel is an important function in ScrapeBox, useful for other things too, so let’s see how it works.

On the right part of the lower panel you can see a number of buttons, these allow to insert the details necessary to do the commenting. These are basically text files containing (from the top) fake names, fake emails addresses, your own (real!) website(s) URL, fake (spinnable) comments, and the last one contains the harvested URL’s (clicking on the List button above will pass the list here). ScrapeBox comes with a small number of fake names and email addresses and even comments. Of course, it is up to you to create more (they are chosen randomly), and also to write some meaningful comments which theoretically should make the comment look real. This is important if the blog is moderated, for the moderator should believe that the comment is pertinent. I personally can tell if a comment is real or fake, on my blogs, even if it’s half a page long. Many do not even bother, hence the Internet is full of the aforementioned “Thank you for this!” stupid comments. What to do here of course is entirely up to you. If you have the inclination, write quite a number of meaningful comments. If you don’t, go ahead with “Thank you for this!” and “Great pictures!”. Of course, there is no guarantee that these comments will stick. (By the way, you could, of course, even increase your own blog(s) popularity, posting fake comments to your site). After filling these text tabs, the last operation left is the actual commenting, this is easily done selecting the blog type previously chosen during the harvesting and then Start Posting. Depending on the blog type and the number of sites, this can take a while, especially if using the Slow Poster. A window will open with the results in real time. Unfortunately you will see many failures of course, for ScrapeBox diligently tries them all but there are so many reasons (comments closed, site down, bad proxy, syntax and many others) for a failure. You can, however, leave the program running overnight and see the results the day after. At the end of the “blast”, you will have several options, including exporting the successful sites URLs (and ping them), check if the links stick, and a few others. Speaking of pinging, this is another great feature possibly worth the price by itself, for you can artificially increase your traffic (using proxies of course) for affiliate programs or referrals, articles etc. There is also an RSS function which allows to send pings to multiple RSS services, useful if you have a number of blogs with RSS feed that you want to keep updated.

This covers the basic functions of the main interface. What’s left is the top row menus. From here, you can adjust many of the program defaults and features, such as saving/loading projects (so you don’t have to load comments, names, emails, websites lists etc. separately one by one), adjust timeouts, delays and connections, Slow Posting details, use/upgrade a blacklist and more. There is even a cool email and names generator, a text editor, and a captcha solver (you have to subscribe to a paid service separately though. Notice that captchas show up only when/if you browse, i.e. there is no annoying captcha solving during normal use and automatic posting). But an even more useful option is the add-ons manager, where (like if it wasn’t enough!) you can download quite a number of really useful extensions (all free and growing). Among them, the Backlink checker (already mentioned), the Blog Analyzer, which checks if a particular blog is postable from ScrapeBox (maybe one of your competitors, so you can get the same backlinks). Also a Rapid Indexer with a list of Indexer Service already provided. Plus some minor add-ons such as a DoFollow checker, Link extractor, WhoIs scraper and many others, even including Chess!

Backlinking is the most important part of search engine optimization, and ScrapeBox can consistently help with this difficult task, as well as many others. It is obvious that the author knows a big deal about backlinking and SEO, and how to make (and maintain) great software. ScrapeBox is a highly recommended purchase to anyone serious about search engine optimization. Despite being known as a semi-automated solution to “build thousands of backlinks overnight” it actually requires knowledge, planning and research, and it will perform better in the hands of creative and intelligent users.

This approach is also being used by SEO experts to obtain links and thus increase Google PageRank. SEO articles are nothing but informative articles on various topics related to the website you need to promote. For instance, if your websites sells CCTV cameras, you can write and SEO article on CCTV cameras buying guide or types of CCTV cameras. Similarly, if your website is about Real Estate, you can write SEO articles on Qualities of a Good Real Estate Agent or Home Buying or Selling Tips and so on.

While writing SEO articles, you need to ensure that the article should be informative and interesting. There should be no direct marketing information about the product or service that you are offering.  Another key aspect is to use targeted keywords for Search Engine advantage. Keywords are those words that your searchers might use to find your product or service in the search engines. For instance, depending on what you are offering, you should make a keyword list. If you are selling CCTV cameras, the keyword could be “affordable CCTV cameras” and if you are a real estate agent in New York, the keyword could be “real estate in New York” and so on. Many Tools are available to help you find your potential keywords, such as Wordtracker.

If you don’t have the time to write SEO articles to enhance your website’s PageRank, you can hire a freelance SEO articles writer or a professional SEO article writing company. Hiring a company is a better option as they are experienced and might offer your affordable SEO articles. One such professional SEO writing company is SEO Content Lab.

www.SERoundtable.com – Google, Yahoo and Microsoft all reported pretty poor earnings this quarter, in fact, they all made history. I talked about how Google handles expired domains. Google’s Gray bar PageRank score, what does that mean? I show how you can verify your profile in Google. Use Google’s new Similar Image search feature. Microsoft is still faking their search referral data. Google began to push the new AdWords user interface on advertisers. Google also allows Google Base users to enhance their AdWords listings. SEOs are excited for the new Google Analytics API. Microsoft opens up ContentAds a bit more. Google AdSense beta tests category filters. Jeeves comes back in the UK. At the end of the show, I showed off the Earth Day logos from the industry. Thanks for listening and reading the Search Engine Roundtable.

www.SERoundtable.com – In this week’s recap I thank Rhea and the others who helped save the term “SEO” from being trademarked. Matt Cutts was interviewed by Eric Enge and he uncovered a nice amount of information, including PageRank information. A poll we published show only 13% felt Google PageRank was “very important.” Some are speculating that the Caffeine index is now live. Google has more pornography issues that they had to deal with. Google opened up the “Google certified ad network” to all AdSense publishers. Google asks publishers if they would show pharmacy and alcohol ads. Ask Sponsored Listings is now hiding referrers. Google and Viacom go it in court over YouTube. SES NY is next week, we will be covering 41 sessions. In our logo roundups, Google showed the wrong colors on Hungary National Day. I also showed you the logos from St. Patrick’s Day and Google’s Pi Day logo. That was this past week at the Search Engine Roundtable.

Yahoo was wrong about the meta keywords tag, they still use it. Yahoo dropped the controversial paid inclusion program. Microsoft Bing has major bugs preventing people from using their Webmaster Tools for over 3 days. Google launched a labs area for Webmaster Tools, adding Fetch as Googlebot and Malware Details. Did Google Suggest just get smarter and start figuring out abbreviations? Google Maps dropped Tele Atlas for their own data in the US Google now only shows 7 of 10 local results in the “ten pack” on web search. Beware of a Google AdSense “account disabled” phishing email that is going around. AVG has labeled some of the Google search results as a security threat. Google thinks Ireland is New Zealand. Google reported earnings, revenue up 7 percent, clicks up 14 percent and cost per click was down 6 percent. A person lost their unemployment check of $405 per week for earning a dollar a day with Google AdSense. A site is conning convicts into paying $50 to remove their name from their web site, which ranks high for their names in Google. That was this past week at the Search Engine Roundtable.

Most of my websites’ pagerank have increased, and the most surprise thing for me is a domain that has only registed for half  a month has been pagerank 3 now.

If  you do not check your sites pagerank yet, go and check it, and enjoy the google’s gift.

It’s a good news for me.

What is PageRank?

PageRank is a link analysis algorithm, named after Larry Page, used by the Google Internet search engine that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of “measuring” its relative importance within the set. The algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with reciprocal quotations and references. The numerical weight that it assigns to any given element E is also called the PageRank of E and denoted by PR(E).

The name “PageRank” is a trademark of Google, and the PageRank process has been patented (U.S. Patent 6,285,999). However, the patent is assigned to Stanford University and not to Google. Google has exclusive license rights on the patent from Stanford University. The university received 1.8 million shares of Google in exchange for use of the patent; the shares were sold in 2005 for $336 million.
