Almost everyone on the internet today has a Facebook, Twitter or some other form of internet social networking web presence. However there can be a down side to sharing information with others.
Few realize that we are creating a presence that will likely be around long after we are gone. Carefully managing our personal information is important and how we brand ourselves is becoming an increasingly important component for both personal and professional success.
Being on a social networking site is like renting a home or apartment there is no long term ownership involved.
Creating a personal web brand, presence, or establishing an online celebrity with a personal website allows us full control over how we present ourselves to others and creates web authority that we own and can use how we like.

Creating Web Ranking and Website Authority:
Having high ranking and website authority does not guarantee large numbers of high quality website visitors.
Providing high quality solutions and answers for things that people are searching the web for will bring interested motivated visitors to your site.
Web page quality content is key for obtaining high rankings along with good internal and external search engine optimization and careful site submissions.
It’s also true that zero page ranked web pages can be indexed higher on page one than other higher ranked pages in some search engine keyword categories. This because Google ranks fresh content highly and because the on page SEO optimization is better than the other competing pages.
Gaining top rankings in similar smaller category niches enhances a websites authority more quickly and improves its ability to rank higher in the more competitive categories.
Google is not the only free provider of high quality visitors and there are a lot of different ways to get significant amounts of high quality traffic.
For example a large portion of visitors coming to this website use its RSS feeds, blogging links and social network sites.
