For me who monetizing my web and blog with selling links and blogposts, PR update is really important since it will affected my next earning. However, a lot of question will arise regarding how important your website PageRank is.

On the other hand, Some of webmasters think that traffic is more important than PR. I believe they are webmasters who gain their earning from particular programs such as Adsense, CPM-based advertising, affiliates, etc. So for them, Google PR update is just ordinary occassion.

For you who still confuse with which one should you fighting for, my list of advantages in having a high PR. I hope the list will give you brighter view about importances of PR.

2. Google bots will visit your site often and your site will get crawled easily because of its incoming links.

3. Attract other webmasters to pay you more for the links from your site.

5. Increasing your image as a webmaster. Assuming how good your site and your skill to manage your website and backlinks.

However, to get your site a PR, sometimes need luck and lot of hardworks. If your site’s PR doesn’t increase in the last update although you work hard on it, please be patient. Keep on working and still do a link building. Wish you all the best.

For you who dont know yet how social bookmarking activity work for your site, let me give you explanation at a glance.

1. Backlinks are important for your site for many reasons.

First of all, they can become parameter how your site worth in the internet. Many backlinks with quality of course will bring your site into a better position. Better on search engine, better in Google PageRank, and better in value. Social bookmarking will give your site valuable backlink since many of them give dofollow backlink for each of entry.

In this case, additional backlinks from social bookmarking site will enhance your site and it’s proven to be strong enough and permanent.

2. Traffic generation.

Although this is not main target of social bookmarking activity, it can be very powerful source of traffic if you are lucky enough. Let us concentrate on one social bookmarking site Digg.com. There is one phenomena called the Digg effect.

Digg effect is the moment when you get tons of traffic, real and quality traffic, because your article is in the front page of Digg. just prepare your server to serve until 10000 visits a day so you not lost that moment. Of course your content should be outstanding enough to reach the top front page of Digg.

3. Introduce your site to the world.

By becoming a part of social bookmarking site, your site will become part of the world too. If your site is interesting enough, believe me, th world will love you more. Just send them quality content so you can touted as good webmaster.

4. Chance to have good posistion on search engine.

How many times you make a query on search engine for particular keyword and see the posted items from social bookmarking site such Digg, Mixx, Propeller, Folkd, Spurl, etc., are exist in first page of search engine result? I’m quite sure it is often enough.

In this case, because of main page of the social bookmarking site has a good rank. Your submission will have probability to earn good position too. Robots of Google visiting the site often and so to your submission.

5. Will be indexed fast for new site

This feature is for new site only. Submission to social bookmarking site is also useful for your newly built site to get indexed by search engine. The analogy is similar with number 4. After your site get indexed, there you go. you can start to fight against your competitors.

These advantages are only based on my experiences as someone who use this method by myself and for my client. Hope you get same with social bookmarking activities.

Flipping website will bring you a lot of money if you do it promptly. For example, the newly built content site with approximately 10 unique articles with 4oo words each, will bring you at least $50. Not bad since you only spend about $10 for domain, your time to make unique articles and cheap shared hosting.

Yes, it’s not a big amount of money, but consider if you can make at last 10 articles a day. You’ll get net income about $40 each day. You can calculate how much you can earn a day. Just idea can limit you.

The content-rich website is much more appreciated by webmaster and website flipper because they it also appreciated well by search engine robots. Especially the site with unique articles, articles which have no duplicate issue.

To build new rich content website, you don’t need to be the expert in design, coding, etc., although having such skills would be an advantage. I’ll give you hints about how to make it as easy as it says.

1. Search for the niche.
Niche content website will help you to get the buyer and also to narrowed your point of view. What niche you should choose? I encourage you to use tools.
First, use tools that detect trends of search engine activity on every keyword. Google trends is one of them, but tools such gtrend that provide you comparation between how many search in a time frame and amount of the sites competing for particular keyword would be more useful. You can browse and find that tool for free on several website.
Second, use keyword tool from google adwords to predict the competition of advertiser for targeted keyword. Tight competition is better because more advertiser interested in that keyword and spend more for each click.

2. Purchase the domain.
It’s better to purchase new domain and put your targeted keyword inside the new domain since it would be perfect for SEO. But actually, if you can search related domain with lower price from someone who have no interest in developing that domain, it would be awesome.

3. Install the new site with free template.
Some people say that Wordpress would be better for SEO, but some other say simple html also awesome. So, don’t be confuse. Please pick what you want, both of them is work based on my experiences.
One thing that I notice is about the design. Premium theme design, no matter it is html or wordpress, is better to attract the customer. You can have the premium themes for cheap price if you are a member of such membership. Two of them I really recommend are eleganthemes for wordpress based site and dreamtemplate for any type of site.
Premium themes will attracted more webmaster to buy your site, more bid, and of course higher price. First impression rules here.

4. Write the content or hire someone to write it.
If you think you are capable enough for the chosen niche, just write it to keep the quality and originality of the articles. Also it will save you a lot since the most money for such a project is for the articles.
On the other hand, if you feel you are not capable enough, just search for quality content writer. You can find it in a forum such DigitalPoint with the price as low as $1 for each 100 words. Higher quality means higher price and finding the native english speaker would be much much better.
After the content ready, upload it and fulfill all the need for the website until final release before you offer it.

5. List your auction.
There are several site or forum to list your site. my favorite is DigitalPoint forum. You can also list it in Sitepoint, Ebay or another place.
Sales letter is very important in this case. Please refer to previous listing for complete example about good sales letter.
you know the price of your site based on money you spend and your work. just believ in yourself and your sales letter. Lower starting bid is usually helpful to start the bidding fast. you can also keep one price in mind as your reserve price.

6. Transfer domain and files.
After you get the winner, just becareful. Somtimes we find good people buat we can also find scammer. So it’s better to ask them to send the payment prior domain push.
After domain push you ccan send the files and keep contact the buyer to help them install the site. it wil help you if you list another site and the winner is impressed with your service. They can be your customer and order other thing to you

I hope the list ill help you to start your first flip since it’s quite easy and rather simple and less money to start. Other technique in flipping established website will be released soon. Just tune in here with me.
