There are other factors that are used to determine exactly how you rank for a keyword - content, the number of time the keyword or related terms are in the page, the metatags, your url, the title of the page, etc, etc. There are many resources out there that can help you to understand this, both online and offline, including an "SEO for Dummies" book that you can pick up at your local bookstore.

I used similar techniques on first 3 blogs and got PR 4 on all 3 in less than 90 days. Might work. I used similar techniques on first 3 blogs and got PR 4 on all 3 in less than 90 days.

For some reason your post got caught in the spam catcher. Anyway, I agree with you about much of what you said but I have experienced page rank increase from cross blog promotion. I have had a few sites that have had nothing to do with each other but have been linked to other blogs with higher page rank. Since no one really knows how the Google Algorithms work I have never had enough solid information that would suggest that my links from my horse blog on my budget blog won't have value. So I don't think I agree with you about page rank only matters if they have the same theme. What I have observed is that it seems it is much hard to pass PR 4. I have had no problem with getting a PR 3 with one of my sites that had virtually no links to it. The only real links it had was that of a website that had a theme that was not similar. I understand that many people are of the same view as you are in regards to PR but I have seen PR increase using different techniques. I of course do not have it all figured out and am always willing to learn. Thanks again for the input and the link. Thanks Nathania for your input.

I never thought of that, so thanks! So if I understand this correctly, I should add a link statement to the end of my posts on my PR4 blog, linking to either of my PR0 blogs?

However, that is a nice idea for others to follow. I only own one blog, so I don’t think that technique is possible for me. However, that is a nice idea for others to follow.

I agree with you that cross blog promotion is helpful and strategic in getting one's pagerank improved through time. I've experienced this with 4 sites of mine where I got pagerank 4 in one update period (1 month to 3 months depending on time of creation) through RSS syndication with my other blogs. Planning the right tags for every post also impacts a lot in increasing one's PR although it will take a lot of constant keyword research work. Thank you for sharing this very helpful strategy.

Perhaps I can elaborate later. PageRank only matters if the link from another blog has a similar theme to your blog. Crosslinking is a bigger deal in yahoo than google, but don't underestimate Google either. Google would prefer your inbound links to be relevant to the theme of your site. If your site is about pizza and you're getting links from a site about underwear - those aren't going to be quality links. So if you have a network of blogs - and they're about different things - the links may not help in search engine rankings. They could still drive traffic if one blog is very popular. You might get away with everything if you have sites hosted on different IPs with the domain name registered under different names and different addresses. That's more of a hassle than natural link building. I briefly skimmed some headlines yesterday that suggested Yahoo will stop updating its keyword search tool. I recommend Keyword Discovery's free tool instead - http://www.keyworddiscovery.com/search.html I have to get back to a meeting in a second, but I wanted to leave a comment.
