In class, we spoke about how search engines like Google rank websites and how to make a webpage more popular than another.

Jon Regnerud, of Enterpreneur.com, has come up with some interesting ways to get your website indexed by google within 24 hours.  However, there are also a few steps that are needed to be followed so that the website is not subsequently banned by Google.

One is that Google reads your website from topleft to bottomright. Typical websites have the bar of links on the left and then text on the right. So the problem is that Google sees your links before your data. There are ways to work around that by creating another frame, etc.

Also it is important to not link your website to another which is part of a “Bad neighborhood”. Doing so might lead Google to ban your website from its search engine or hurt your search ranking. One very interesting way to get indexed by Google quicker is to create a link exchange with a popular site. The Google toolbar has a page rank feature which can be used to determine the popularity of a webpage.

Using these ways and more, one can increase their Google page rank. In many ways this is similar to our class discussion since nodes linked to other popular nodes were deemed more popular themselves.
