Google ranking

Hi guys,
I’ve been working on my Google ranking and adding from my site to others and they (hopefully) add links to mine, since the Google ranking is influenced now by links to our sites I wondered if the many ZC users could help each other create something like a link pool.
What do you think?

Re: Google ranking

I’m in the process of getting on townsontheweb.co.uk which hopefully will keep me around 10 more in that out.

Re: Google ranking

you must remember that having unrelated links can make your rating worse. It is not about quantity it is about quality. a handful of good related links is far better than a gazillian unrelated linkfarms.

Re: Google ranking

One way to get a bad ranking is to add meta tags everywhere. Zen cart automatically adds a description and keywords to each page (I think) so I'd ONLY use a few keywords and a short description on the index page, nothing else.

Do not use more than 15 keywords and don't have a description more than 150-200 characters long.

One of my most popular pages doesn't have any links inbound or outbound, nor does it have any meta data or even a single link contained on it. Yet this page is relatively popular on google.

Re: Google ranking

As far as I can tell every link is worth something so if anyone is interested in linking with my site I would be happy to link back.

Re: Google ranking

Links from related sites have more weight than unrelated sites. Example you would have more "points" to have a link from a Snooker forum than one from a doctor's site.

BTW- How do you figure: Powered by Cue power ? If you are not going to give Zen Cart credit, at least don't take it yourself. Thanks.
