Also available as part of cPanel Accelerated are two alternatives for DNS and IMAP.  The NSD nameserver can reduce memory usage for DNS functions by up to 40% over BIND.  On busy nameservers that can add up to a huge resource savings.  Also included in version 11.24 is Dovecot IMAP as an alternative to Courier IMAP.  Dovecot provides up to a 25% reduction in disk I/O as well as using between 10% to 70% less memory then Courier.  

Security has also been enhanced with the reworking of cPanel’s process monitoring daemon to include service specific verification which helps to improve the security of running processes.  Backups are faster too.  Pkgacct 8 has been reworked to become significantly faster then previous versions.  That means you can safely backup your data and restore it, both incrementally & non-incrementally much more quickly then previous versions.  This all adds up to increased performance, reduced resource usage and ultimately a more efficient web hosting operation for cPanel customers.

Where to start?

The first thing to do is to optimize the website itself. On page SEO is a way of making sure that your website is “search engine friendly”. This basically means making it easier for search engines to find and crawl.

1. The first thing to do is to ensure that every page on your website is visible to a search engine. Do this by checking that there is a link to that page somewhere on your website. If there is no link to that page it will be a lot harder to find, if at all.
2. You need to use heading tags. On pages of your website insert the <h1> tag etc for page titles and sub titles to suit.
3. On all pages of your website, check that there is unique content.
4. Use your meta tags on every page and ensure that you use them well. Take advantage of title, description and keyword meta data. Change them for every page of your website and try to keep the information in them to the point.
5. Help search engine visitors too by using a format they understand for your links. For example use URLs such as yoursite.com/your-product-name.php instead of its product ID in the address.
6. If you have links going to a page about a specific topic, then label the link respectively by putting “your page content” as the link the user will click.
7. Valid HTML is very important, so ensure that your code is. If you coding is really poor then this may result in your site not being indexed properly. You can check your sites code here.
8. Use the re=”nofollow” attribute for websites that you are unsure about. If you are skeptical about a site, then why help it rank higher in search engines? It could be a competitor of yours using your sites content that won’t be dissimilar to their websites and as a result helping their PR.

Images

1. Use images to your advantage as well. Name images appropriately such as iukhost-screenshot.jpg. This increases the chance of it being placed on sites such as Google Images.
2. Images can make a page look great, however if they are not working then you want an alternative to show, so use alt tags. These provide an alternative text instead of the image. Again make sure that this is relevant such as “iUKHost Screenshot”.

Back links

You can go out and get lots of irrelevant back links to your site, however this will not help you very much. You need to get back links to your website, from websites that have similar content and preferably from a page that has a high Page Rank.

You need to get links to your website from websites that are trusted and do not spam or have duplicate content. You need to check if the website has content that is of good quality and is relevant to your site. You should check what type of out-going links the page your link will be on has and ensure that these are of a good quality.

Different types of websites have different types of traffic. You don’t want visitors that are just visiting your site for a second and then leaving. You need quality visitors to your website who are looking for the type of content that your website offers.

You should look for sites that have the do follow attribute because these are the ones that will benefit you the most.

Make the most of alt tags if you are placing an image advert by including keywords relevant to your website. The same applies to a text advert so include keywords that are relevant to your website in the anchor text.

Before going any further you first need to know what your current PageRank is and to find this out you need to install the Google toolbar. This gives the official PageRank of your website. Download Here!

When does PageRank Change?

Google Update PageRank only a few times a year which gives you time to work on improving it. To key to getting a higher PageRank is to have back links to your website from other websites that have similar content that also receive high traffic.

There are tools on the web after working to increase your PageRank that you can use to roughly guess what your next PR will be. However these are not always accurate. Try one out here.

Comment on Blogs

If you have a blog and want to increase the PR, try commenting on other blogs that are similar to yours. This will create back links to your website from similar content.

Directories

Other steps are to submit your website to online directories. These are free and offer a range of link types so ensure that you choose regular link. Do not just put your links on a couple you need thousands however build these links over a period of time and do not get them all at the same time because this may harm your PageRank.

Articles

Submit articles on topics relating to your website and include links to your website within the article.

It becomes harder to get a higher rank as you move up through PageRank.

How does it Work?

PageRank works by deciding that pages with a higher number of links going to them are the more important. As a result they are listed further up search results. There is another factor to PageRank and this is that it is not only the amount of links that is taken into consideration.

PageRank also analyses the web page on which the link to the website is placed. This is why it is important to get back links to your website, from websites that have related content to you.

PageRank is ultimately designed to find websites that appear to be the best source of information to the user. By looking at the number of incoming links to a web page, PageRank states that this page is therefore useful.

Webmasters can manipulate PageRank in their favour by trying to force more links to their web pages. Too many incoming links from websites that are unrelated to your content may damage your websites PageRank.

How do I check my websites PageRank?

The most accurate way to check your websites PageRank is by using the Google Toolbar. A websites PageRank is measured between PR0 and PR10. There is a very small number of websites with PageRank 10. Each page on a website has a PageRank, not just the website as a whole.
