Hey folks,
all the webmaster forums have again been alive with the buzz thats created every time google does the dance and has a pagerank update.
Well, I am pleased to say that for once my personal blog hasnt been ignored - I have just got a PR3 for the homepage of this site and it did bring a wry smile to the mouth so for that I thank you google (I actually thank you more for that nice round $1,000 cheque this month from Adsense, but thats a different story for a different post!)
All this talk of PR updates though raises the point that its awfully early for the THIRD pagerank update of the year isn’t it? Surely this one wasn’t due out till August? Will Google be changing their PR policies, well - as always with the big G (not GOD, Google!!) its impossible to say but with the amount of PR bashing thats gone on in the last six months Id say its a near certainty that major changes are being made to the algo’s. My best guess is that current pagerank calculations will have a lot more to do with the ageing of the inbound links, than the pagerank of the page that they come from.
Anyway, off to muse and check the rest of my sites…

Hey folks,
Some of you may know this trick already, but for those that dont its a great way to build up your .edu backlinks quickly. This article isnt really a discussion on whether .edu links are worth more than normal links, I have discussed that topic ad infinitum on various forums in the past, its purely a look at how you can get edu links, and most importantly for free!
Google being the source of all information is ofcourse where you are going to find the best places to get edu links - and the most effective way of doing that is by posting context sensitive comments on related blogs. To do a search all you need to do is go to google and type this in:
site:.edu +”powered by wordpress” +”add your comment”
This will then give you a list of wordpress blogs, with open comments that are hosted on .edu domains.
The best thing to do then is to sort the results by pagerank which you do with the SEOQUAKE addon for firefox and hey presto! a great big list of places to get free high PR edu backlinks!
Cheers

Hey folks,
some of you may have seen some abusive comments left for me on various forums, including many of my own (well, about a half dozen out of 20+, so not a huge amount) and some of you may be wondering why!
Well, it boils down to one thing, jealousy…
…. its a sad indictment on the world today that people can not handle others successes. I myself run a medium sized web design agency, and have many profitable websites. When I created a forum which took a huge chunk of traffic from some spotty 14 year old american kids forum on the same subject, that person decided to start a hate campaign against ME across the internet!
Well, I am happy to say that I am more mature, and a bigger person than he is so it really does not bother me. Heck, if I was to cry every time someone called me a name I would be stuck in the third grade, which unfortunately seems to be where this guy IS stuck.
Anyway, my lawyer has about 10 examples now of whats been said, and he is contacing the local police in the county that the perpetrator lives, so hopefully a visit from the authorities will abate the idiot!
off for a coffee!
