Thank you for your interest in IPWatchdog.com.
The pages of IPWatchdog have a large amount of original material
written by Gene Quinn. We are happy to
allow others to republish our original content provided that prior
permission is requested, and provided that suitable author credit is
provided together with a link back to the IPWatchdog.com homepage. We
will also require that at least two additional links to
IPWatchdog.com pages be included in the republished version on your
website. This can be done by way of providing several links to back
to other IPWatchdog.com pages at the end of a republished article,
such as under the heading "Additional Resources." The
reason we have these somewhat curious requirements is to get link
backs to our website, which will in turn help our Google Page
Ranking, and it will help your Google Page Ranking as well.
We do, of course, reserve the right to decline to allow republication
at our discretion, such as but not limited to situations where
inquiries come from those who publish adult content or otherwise
objectionable content. If you have a website that relates to
invention, intellectual property, patent law, entrepreneurship or any
other topic that relates to what is covered in the pages of
IPWatchdog.com, and you wish to republish one or more of our
articles, please send us an E-mail
and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
If you have an article that relates to the subject matter covered in
IPWatchdog.com, and you would like to have the article published or
republished on IPWatchdog.com, please send
us an E-mail and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
Why Republish IPWatchdog Articles & Information?
Republishing our content and providing links in the republished
article will help not only us, but it will help you as well. While
not much has historically been known about how Google.com
ranks, a patent application filed by Google in 2005 has shed some
light on the subject. Specifically, Google will look to see how many
sites link to your site, but merely having a huge number does not
necessarily help. If you have too many links that could be seen as
participation in an "unethical" link exchange that is
attempting to skew the Google rankings. So, you need to have quality
links, which means you need to have sites linking to you that are
considered quality sites. Google determines quality, at least in
part, based on Page Rank.
For an exhaustive explanation of how Page Rank (PR) works see Google
Page Rank Explained, and also see Wikipedia
Page Rank. To check the Page Rank of any web page you can go
to Page Checker Home.
IPWatchdog.com has
been online since October 1999, so we enjoy an extremely high
popularity in the intellectual property world. You will find that as
of December 2006 the IPWatchdog.com
home page is a PR of 6, and many of the deeper pages are a PR of 5.
Page Rank is graded on a scale of PR 0 to PR 10, with PR 0 being a
web page that has little or no popularity and a PR 10 being a web
page that is among the top 10 web pages on the Internet. While no one
can translate PR into popularity with great confidence (because
Google guards the secret), it is believed that a PR of 6 means the
particular page is one of the top 100,000 web pages on the Internet.
See: How do I get
traffic to my site? This means that the pages of IPWatchdog
are among the most popular intellectual property web pages on the Internet.
Similarly, Google also wants to see that you link to websites that
are popular, with popularity being defined by Page Rank. So, if you
want to build your own Page Rank and boost your free listings in
Google you need to have quality pages link to you, and you need to
link to quality pages. Quality links and link backs, however, is only
part of the equation. Merely linking to sites with a high PR is not
enough. You need to link to pages and you need back links from web
pages that are similar to the content of your site. Thus, if you have
a patent page, as many of the IPWatchdog.com pages are, it does not
really help to link to or have links from pages that promote dating
websites, for example. So, quality is related to links to and from
the most relevant web pages having the highest PR. This is where
linking to and getting a link from IPWatchdog can help both of us.
If you have a website that relates to invention, intellectual
property, patent law, entrepreneurship or any other topic that
relates to what is covered in the pages of IPWatchdog.com, and you
wish to republish one or more of our articles, please send
us an E-mail and someone will get back to you as soon as
possible. If you have an article that relates to the subject matter
covered in IPWatchdog.com, and you would like to have the article
published or republished on IPWatchdog.com, please send
us an E-mail and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
