One thing you definitely need if you want your site's search engine rank to go up is high PR backlinks. The way sites are presently ranked, you really need quality inbound links to make any progress. Much of the information you can find online about backlinks is unreliable. Don't simply assume something is true, then, but do some research, especially if you're new to online marketing. Verify what we say as well.
We don't expect you to trust us, though the information we have is well researched. The following are some proven strategies for obtaining high PR backlinks.
Online marketers who have a site/blog and also engage in article marketing make a very common mistake with execution. The usual practice is to publish relevant and targeted articles to Goarticles, Ezinearticles and other top directories. They don't, however, publish the article on their own site first, which is the mistake. Rather than getting backlinks to an article on their own site, they get links for the directory where the article is published. It's easier, of course, to rank your article on a high PR directory than on your own site, but if you want to get links and improve your site's ranking, you should first publish to your own site and get links coming there. If you use it correctly, you can make good use of an often applied strategy to get high PR backlinks. There are various automated programs for creating profiles on forums and social bookmarking sites to get lots of backlinks. You can do the same, but instead take the time to create high quality profiles and treat it and the property with respect. You naturally want to use the right anchor text so you create a quality backlink to your site. This will give you the best of both worlds: high PR backlinks with the right anchor text. Also try to do this on sites with related themes as your money site.
Even sites with a nofollow link policy can be beneficial if they're widely used, such as Facebook and other social networks. Very often, sites originally use dofollow link attributes, but then lots of marketers take advantage of this, and Google persuades them to switch to nofollow. Don't assume, however, that there's no benefit to gaining nofollow links. Dofollow links, naturally, are more beneficial. They are still considered backlinks, and, more importantly, they are good for making an impression on Google. If all of your links are dofollow, and come from high PR sites, Google can figure out that you're pursuing an aggressive linking strategy. So never be turned off from high PR backlinks that are nofollow.
If you know what you are looking for and where to look it's not hard to find High Page Rank backlinks. The best idea is to have the money to outsource your backlinking. It's a fact that backlinking is dreadfully boring not to mention tedious work that takes a good amount of time, outsourcing can free up that time for you to concentrate on the more important task of generating more traffic to your site.

You may be tempted to tackle your own web site, but I suggest you consider these points before taking on the challenge. Many people armed with the basic knowledge of HTML and notepad , think they can develop their own websites. The internet allows free exchange of information, so with careful study you could build and maintain a web site yourself, and if you have financial constraints it might seem to be your best option, however. I say it 'seems' like your best option, because even though it may appear to be easy there are many factors and professional input which goes into making a good web site.
What is a web developer?
A web developer is a person who develops a web site from scratch and maintains the web site. Web developers need to have a knowledge of HTML, XML, JAVA, as well as tools such as Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Acrobat. A web developer also needs to have an understanding of how the internet works, what the latest internet trends are and content writing skills will also come in handy. Some web developers specialize in the back end of the site, such as the hardware infrastructure and data bases (what goes on behind the scenes), while others specialize on the front end, such as design, content and tools (what you see when you enter a site).
Why you will not get the same results.
As you can see the job of developing a website is not just about the layout and about colour. There are many aspects which goes into taking a blank site and making it a popular website. You may know about HTML, and you may be able to download a template, but do you know how to write design your web site with features which will make people want to come back to your site over and over again? Do you know how to manipulate text and write content in such a way that search engines pick your website over others?
Business support
Depending on what your business is, your website needs to have tools which support your business. Let me give you an example; some make-up companies have a make-over tool on their site which allows the visitor to load a picture of themselves onto the site and then give themselves a make- over. This software includes the latest color trends and products which can be found in the stores. Another way in which your web site needs to support your business is by giving you statistical feedback, as to how many people visit your site, what people's opinions are about the site, what people do on your site.
All this information can be used to support your business by using the information to make your website and business more efficient. Now you can see why developing a website is much more intricate than what it seems.

"Top 20 wordpress plugins that you don’t miss by honeytech, on Flickr">

WordPress has become the most popular platform for blogging and website creation and is used by millions to create and launch their sites. One of the many benefits of using WordPress is the huge assortment of plugins available to be installed, so many that, at times, it is impossible to know which plugins to use on your site.
Properly created WordPress plugins will provide a vital function for your site while running in the background and not using too much disk space and memory. Almost all of the top plugins run automatically, meaning you set them and leave them alone, although some of the plugins that post content or fix errors need attention. We are going to look at some of the better free plugins that should be a part of each WordPress site that you create.
1) Akismet. This free plugin is usually installed automatically when you install WP, but if not, be sure to add it to your site. Akismet will provide a valuable spam filter for your site, blocking the attempts by spammers to post worthless comments or reviews in an attempt to piggyback your site for back links. Make sure you have an Akismet API and install this on every site you own.
2) Google XML Sitemap. This handy plugin will notify the major search engines of new postings on your site and help get your site indexed and ranked. Simple to install and requires no maintainance.
3) W3 Total Cache. Recommended by most hosting services, this caching program will dramatically speed up the loading of you site when visited by a viewer. Google has said that it is factoring loading speed into its rankings, so make sure you install this plugin and use it properly.
4) SEO Friendly Images. Adding pictures to your posts and pages is important both visually and for ranking, and this plugin helps to make your images SEO and WordPress friendly. A great set-it-and-leave-it-alone add-on.
5) SEO Smart Links. While there is a premium (paid) version of this plugin, the free version works fine for almost every site. You put in a few keywords and website links (yours or others) and this program will automatically post the links in your articles or pages.
6) CBNET Ping Optimizer. Did you know that WordPress pings key RSS sites every time anything changes on your site? This can be good and bad. If you make a lot of changes on your site, creating a lot of pings, you may get tagged as a spammer. This plugin allows you to put a limit on how many pings per day can be made.
7) Cystats. Okay, this doesn't speed up your site or perform any repairs, but it does give you great information regarding who visits your site, where they came from and how many robot spiders have visited your site. This is a wonderful tool to have to find out how well your SEO efforts are doing to drive traffic to your site.
Are there more good free plugins? You bet, around 999,999 but we don't have the time or desire to review all of them. These six are a good starting point for building a WordPress site, are easy to install and use and, best of all, are free. Check them out, read more about them and decide if you should be using them on your website.
