Page Rank or Traffic, which do you prefer?

For most website owners, several “rankings” are important depending on their objective and target audience. Sites that primarily get paid for advertisements or sponsored posts and reviews may give more importance to their Page Rank because some advertisers prefer to work with sites that have a high page rank for backlinking purposes. If more sites with high Page rank link to their site, it somehow shows authority to their site in the eyes of search engines.

Other site owners give more importance to traffic, especially if they are earning through advertisements which are based on number of impressions or clicks. High traffic increases the opportunity for sale or the exposure of the products advertised on your site. Placing well in Search Engine Result Pages (SERP) also help to increase traffic.

One way to succeed in landing the top results on SERPs is through Search Engine Optimization. Some sites hire a professional search engine optimizing company to help find the best keywords for their products. By knowing what most people search for, they can work around it to make your site land on the first page of search engine results. Being on the first page or the top 10 links of search engine results page have a big impact on being clicked by web surfers.

There are other factors that may be important for other websites aside from Page Rank and Traffic of course. Ranking priorities are also different for blogs and websites. It’s just a matter of knowing which one is more important for you and start working on it.

Revenge – my newest online past time

It has never been easy to take a break from the online world. My day starts with reading a couple of articles from various news sites then I check my emails for work items. Once I start working on my tasks, I get so absorbed with it that I end up working for long hours without even realizing it.

A couple of weeks back, it was Holy Week here and I tried to make time and spend most of it with my family since the hubby is off from work. It was then that we found out about a series called Revenge starring Madeleine Stowe, Emily VanCamp and Gabriel Mann among others. The story got us so intrigued that we tried to look online for the streaming of the next few episodes.

One episode caught my eye. It was when Jack offered to repair and move the swing on Emily’s porch. I’ve always wanted to have swings whenever I have my own house, one on the porch and another in the backyard where it’s more private. Actually, Emily’s house is somewhat how I’ve always imagined a house on the beach. I really do hope that later in life we can make that dream into a reality.

For now, we’re very content in admiring the houses at the Hamptons from the show. I’m glad we found this new past time. Those videos online have never been more inviting for me until now. I still hope to get it on Bluray though just so I can keep it for future viewing (when I want to look back at that dream house again).
