Use ClaimID to bump up your search ranking
Posted in Identity and branding on the August 8th, 2006
Back in March I heard about ClaimID , an online identity manager. The idea is that you create your profile and start linking any website, article, meta site or blog comment that has anything to do with you or your work. It’s a great tool if you want to show people what you’re up to professionally or around the web community. It also has a cool side effect - it can drastically increase your search engine ranking.
One of the things that Google and other search engines look for to determine a page rank is third party URL recognition. The more external links you have to your domain the better. Putting Brokentoy on ClaimID helped bring my page rank from #12 to #1.
Unfortunately for me a glass blower, a Bishop, and a handful of CEOs share my name so getting it on the first page is going to be difficult. I’ll take any help I can get.
If you have a website you want to promote then I highly recommend signing up for ClaimID. Here’s my ID if you want to see an example.
