And That’s….the Truth

If you’ve been blogging for any length of time, then you are definitely aware of the term Google page rank and what it means. But, if your just starting out in the blogging world, then this term may not be familiar to you. In a nutshell what Google page rank is SUPPOSE (notice the capital letters? I’ll explain further) to be an indication by Google on how popular your site is in the Internet market place. The ranking system goes from 0 to 10. With 0 being the lowest page rank that a person can have. But, this ranking system is completely outdated and honestly doesn’t give you any indication of your true rank in the blogging or Internet industry.

This is where Izea Ranks come into play. One of the companies that I do paid posting for designed and created Izea Ranks just for bloggers. Basically what Izea ranks stand for is your true ranking compared to other blogs on the Internet. They take a lot of factors into consideration when determining what your “real rank” is. They take into account the number of visitors you get each day, the amount of page veiws you get in the run of a day, and other factors come into play as well.

Because of the fickleness of Google, you could have a really good site with lots of traffic, but still rank 0 because you do some things that Google doesn’t approve of. But with Izea ranks, your rank is determined by the traffic to your site so you know it’s a true number. One of the things that I like about the Izea ranks is the fact that you don’t have to work for this company to find out what your real rank is. As long as you register your blog it will be compared against other blogs and you will be given a true number.

So, if you were hit by the “Google smack” that so many of us were (myself included) then I strongly urge you to drop by Izea and find out what your “real rank” is.
