Is PageRank Decay A Hamster Wheel For Webmasters?

Is Google using a “Pagerank Decay” mechanism to make it hard for websites that don’t get natural links to get free traffic?

A recent Pagerank jiggle seemed to indicate that something interesting was happening. Could Google be using its Pagerank system to prevent low-quality sites getting free traffic?

Several of my own observations indicated that low-value Pagerank links may decay over time.

One webmaster reported a jump from Pagerank zero to Pagerank five, purely from a recent link-building campaign. During his link building efforts, he got a few links from a Pagerank 6 blog, and he expected those links “to fade as new posts come out”.

How To Get More Backlinks To Your Website

Backlinks are a great way to get more traffic and exposure to your website. They increase your page’s presence on the web and allow search engines to find and rank your page better in search results, so obviously, the more backlinks you have, the better off you will be.

So what exactly are backlinks?
Well backlinks are references to your website that are found on other sites. For example. If I author a post on someone else’s blog that has good readership and a lot of traffic, someone who is reading their blog might be interested and click on the link back to my website. I have created another very targeted traffic stream to my website. This is an example of just how important backlinks are and also how beneficial they can be.

It takes money to maintain an income generating site, and the saying is true, it takes money to make money. BUT, it doesn’t have to take a whole lot of cash to generate website traffic to your site.
