Click on an image to read more. With every design and every line of code you write you should have this “big picture” in mind.
To boost your page rankings the first step is to feed your TGP2 from other sites you own, especially when this sites are high ranked “trusted and valuable sites”. Note that the SE sees a link as a vote. A vote from a high ranked site counts more than
a link from a gallery page. Page ranking is a conglomerate of weight of content and weight of link popularity.
Content rich sites get higher rankings than poor sites. Content is everything a spider can see
(text, descriptive and categorized links, images with ALT tags ...). You don’t need thousands of pages to own a “content rich site”, read here how to give your TGP2 content (links and galleries) more importance.
Link popularity is the amount of weighted links (votes) to your site. Weighted votes consider source and target. Links from “poor sources” like recips on galleries or free sites do not count. Links from high ranked sources count a lot. Always try to get high quality votes, less is more in this case and (tons of) low quality votes are destructive.
You can check the ranking of a page with the Google Toolbar. Install it, then go to any URL and look at the slider. If the slider is disabled, the page is not (yet) ranked. That’s not a bad thing, usually it will be
ranked in the next monthly index (but in some cases the page/site is banned for cheating, that’s a bad thing and you should never ever link to it). If a mouseover displays a ranking of
zero Google considers the page as “poor”, don’t link to it. Galleries are mostly not or zero ranked, that’s not bad for the TGP owner as long as the domain of the gallery maker has at least one page ranked 1/10 or
better. A good ranking of an adult site is 4/10 - 6/10, there are not many adult sites ranked higher.
How to find out whether a site is banned by the SE? Just do a few searches for words you expect to find
on the target domain like “sex site:www.domain.com”, “home site:www.domain.com”, “next site:www.domain.com”, “xxx site:www.domain.com” etc. (syntax varies from SE to SE). If you get no results the domain is new and
not yet spidered or banned. A whois will tell you whether the domain is new, a few months old domain is still new for the engines and when a domain was parked or not used for a longer time it’s also “new”. At this
point check another search engine and use other informations you have about the site. There is no way to get this information for sure except asking the SE (don’t laugh, it works. Sometimes they need a while to
respond or will never reply, but you may be lucky.).
Don’t make the mistake to mix top ranked search results for particular keyword phrases with page ranking. You may have a #5 spot on the index for a keyword
phrase with a low or middle ranked page. That means only, that you have not so much competition on this keyword phrase. If you operate a high ranked site you will get top spots on the first index page for keywords
you’re dreaming of.
You can boost your page ranking when you trade votes (links) with other higher ranked sites. But be careful! Do not exchange links with everybody and his grandma! Incoming and outgoing links also may decrease your page ranking or get your site banned (read here why). Do not participate in link
circles, you should trade links/votes only with trusted webmasters. And you must not cheat with the engines. Be honest, if you think a vote could be valuable for the surfer then trade, in most cases the search
engine will follow your opinion. Never trade using invisible or tricky links. Link visible, that does not mean link prominent.
Also please understand that trading votes has nothing to do with trading traffic. Trading votes means
trading visible, static links which are never removed. A few surfers will find this links and produce a little traffic, your trading script will take care of it. Don’t whine and cancel the trade when you send
another site a few hits which are never returned, the traffic will be returned in the future - from the search engines and in a higher quality! Trading votes with a low traffic site can be more effective than
trading traffic (of low quality) with a high traffic site, as long as the low traffic site is a high ranked “trusted and valuable site” in the eyes of the search engines.
What you should do is trading votes
with other TGP2 webmasters and theme related web sites, you’ll see the best results when your trade partners site is in the same niche or at least dedicated to a relevant theme.
