The PR Update, Announcements And More

by ·

Well well well, another busy weekend anew with all the studies and all the responsibilities being an officer of the computer organization of our university. But well at the end of the week I have pretty some great news for myself. Well the PR update who has long been speculating has already took place. This blog has now a page rank of 2 (though it deserves more of a pr 3) and my basketball blog who has been slapped before because of selling do follow links is also back with it’s pagerank. My rival Alkorani got a pr3 and most of us in the blog premiere got a pr2. Not bad for not promoting too much.

I always believe that the algo of page rank isn’t the same as before. Before it is so damn easy to get a pr. Link exchange there, reaching top commentators, commenting on dofollow blogs. I can say it’s now different. Although you can still get some value there, it isn’t like before. That’s why I don’t believe on what Tnx.net is saying about gaining pagerank points. As search engine marketers become smarter, so as Google. Google has distinguished valuable dofollow pr’s from not. The “in” thing for getting tons of backlinks and pr is try making a widget for your site and distribute it around your community.

Another announcement is that I am now putting entrecard back to where it is. Why? Because entrecard doesn’t really deserve the advertising sidebar. Although some bloggers like Flimjo puts a huge emphasis on it, the value of advertisers there aren’t really going to brand your blog. It’s hard to take a look at the advertisers and reject the unrelated ones so I am just surprised to see someone sporting porno on entrecard widget. Where is it before? It’s under everything. 😉

The last thing is that I am looking for a Chief financing officer. Well we are running a company based here on Philippines about freelancing and SEO. It has been planned since January and although looks like everything is set, we are still going to wait for next year to launch. We are preparing so hard for it and we do hope everything will work out fine. I also look for some coders but i think DP has a lot of that. You can directly contact me if you know one

  1. Heheh, it’s OK Melvin, now you have three months till you can improve your PageRank, and if we finally do have a contest, it can be included in deciding the winner! 🙂

  4. @germs, actually matt cutts said they are going to be removing penalty to penalized sites before… could they become more lenient?

  8. Slow down!

    You are too anxious.  Page rank is good for your blog but at the same, you want quality readership.  Work on the content and steady your promotion.  Then you wil get plenty of rewards later on.

  13. Seems we went to a page rank of 4 here @ blogengage, lost some page rank on the upcoming page but gain a pr 3 in the lbog links direrctory and the forums portal

    no complaints here!

  14. Well I never tried anything and ended up with PR 3 myself.  I guess it all evens out in the long run from what I have seen with most of my fellow bloggers and their blogs.
