<p><span id="more-148"></span></p>
<p>Countdown Clock offers just that. A countdown clock for your website where you can build your own customized timer and embed it on your website. Since New Years is coming up, I thought this would be a great time to run this test.</p>
<p>Google Adwords tool<br />
<img src="http://www.howtoseo.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Picture-2-500x289.png" alt="adwords tool" title="adwords tool" width="500" height="289" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-155" /><br />
It&#8217;s saying that google counts approx 201,000 searches for countdown clock per month with an average cost of $1 per <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_per_click">CPC</a>.</p>
<p>Here is an example of this flash countdown timer:<br />
<center><embed src="http://countdownclock.org/c/show.swf?clickURL=http://countdownclock.org/&#038;clickLABEL=COUNTDOWNCLOCK&#038;flashLABEL=COUNTDOWNCLOCK&#038;skin=http://countdownclock.org/c/skins/a27.swf&#038;text=NEW%20YEAR%202010%0D%0DGET%20YOUR%20COUNTDOWN%20TIMER%0DAT%20%0DCOUNTDOWNCLOCK%2EORG&#038;untilColor=10092543&#038;textColor=16777215&#038;datesColor=16750950&#038;year=2010&#038;month=0&#038;day=1&#038;hour=0&#038;minute=0&#038;second=0&#038;x=6&#038;y=77" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="300" height="200" name="countdown" align="middle" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed><br /><small><a href="http://countdownclock.org/" target="_blank">COUNTDOWNCLOCK</a></small></center><br />
<br/><br />
Everytime a clock is created, there is a backlink being made which helps incoming traffic. If this widget is posted on a quality trusted site then your rank can be raised as well.</p>
<p><strong>Currently the Google PageRank is 3</strong><br />

<p>Google Result &#8211; Page 1<br />
<img src="http://www.howtoseo.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Picture-4-500x277.png" alt="countdown clock result" title="countdown clock result" width="500" height="277" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-158" /></p>
<p>Yahoo has 251 inlinks:<br />
<img src="http://www.howtoseo.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Picture-3-499x289.png" alt="yahoo inlinks" title="yahoo inlinks" width="499" height="289" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-156" /></p>
<p>Overtime, users will start relying on your site for a countdown clock and more people will support it. As that continues the Google backlinks and Yahoo! inlinks should grow as well as the pagerank.</p>
<p>So offer a way to promote your blog or website to your readers. Sharing links with friends and other website can help you with your pagerank for search engine results. Offer a free embed feature to a cool banner or a widget where they can support on their site. It&#8217;s like a personal badge that says &#8220;HI MY NAME IS&#8221; and preview of your site. Try it out!</p>
