Page rank is important to site statistics. Especially for the beginner, it may take time to climb up the ranks. Work on some immediate more attainable goals. SEO (search engine optimization) should be an immediate focus.
While working on and waiting for page rank, focus on what page your site is showing up when searched. For traffic to grow, you need to be easy to find! Getting your site up as soon as possible will help with the site age factor in SEO.
Invest time and effort researching how to get Google, MSN, Yahoo, and other search engines to list your site on the first pages of a search. Once your site is set up and ready, move on to the next site and wait. You can always go back and update as your skill and knowledge increases. Keyword tweaking may also be need.
Don’t wait till the site is perfect…….it may never be! There is a balance between good quality and holding yourself back with perfectionism.
