Brad, you've just confused us all, that's the problem. LOL. At the start of the thread you were quite happy to sit there clicking everyone's links (you did, didn't you?) and then later you say that it will not help.

I think Mr Hyde summed it up quite nicely. Strategy 1 target search results, click on them. Strategy 2 focus on building links both in and out. Focus on links to people who have high Page Ranks (Higher than say PR2. LOL ) Both strategies can be done cooperatively with small groups helping each other and the Café is a good place to form such groups.

Lets go for it :-D

Hi, not being a professional I don't have a website. I click on everyones site and had a great time looking at them. This was fun, interesting and informative. I think it was great just to see everyones websites.

Thanks Craig. We started this some time back and I have checked my website ranking and have not moved a bit. However, like you, I had a good time looking at everyones site. It was a fun to see how it would work or if it would work.

While everyone is clicking, try this one:

Guys I have clicked all these sites. My fingers hurt but I know I have helped some brothers out.

Done my clicking....keep it coming!

Probably because of what several of us have mentioned several times throughout this thread:

** Clicks and pageviews don't affect page rank. **

Hope everyone has at least been enjoying all the clicks, though!

Scott,

Click on searches do improve rankings in google, but a direct url click through I doubt it does...

Well enjoy some of my new sites:

Thnaks all.

Not quite true, but probably relevant for this group. Simple websites that get a few more clicks via the magic Café will most likely not see an increase in their page rank. However, that doesn't mean it's not possible, and/or doesn't happen. People think Google has just a few simple algorithms that determine a page rank. So not true! According to one google employee, there are thousands of algorithms that determine page rank for types, levels, and other classifications of domains. Clicks and page views DO affect page ranking, but only for certain types of pages that Google monitors. Trust me, if a site gets 15 million pageviews and clicks through something googles monitoring, and they "deem it worthy or of interest," page rank can change in a matter of hours.

Matt Cutts has said some very interesting things about how google monitors internet search activity for viral behaviors, and how they can track them almost in real time. Some of the viral rises have lead to page rank increases overnight for some popular websites that seem to dominate the news and related search terms.

Isn't it amazing (and maybe a little scary!) the power Google has when it comes to the internet?

Page rank means nothing if you're not getting a sale. Thousands of clicks per month doesn't guarantee bookings. Your time is better spent working on content and copywriting skills to convert views to sales.
