I was doing my regular visit of my blogs today, to check that everything was going well and received a very welcomed surprise.

Google had passed by and given my new blogs their first Page Ranks.

While StandOutBlogger continues to be a PR3 Blog, I received one new PR2 and two new PR1 blogs.

  1. FranchiseBuzz.com.au (PR0-PR2)

    logo Page Rank Update: Google Gives a New Years Present
    Launched in the middle of November, I have spent quite a lot of time working on this Franchise Business Opportunities blog. And While my posting has dropped off over the holidays, I am planning to jump straight back into things coming into the new year.

    The thing I am very excited about is that I also received a lot of internal PR2′s. In fact all of my individual posts, minus 4 of them are PR2. (You can check internal Page Ranks at: http://www.askmie.com/internal/)

  2. SurveysForMoney.com.au (PR0-PR1)

    surveys for money Page Rank Update: Google Gives a New Years Present
    I bought this domain for my birthday (My wife will let me buy two domains a year without selling my old ones – and that is my birthday and Christmas). Started in December, I have already made over $10 on affiliate commission through CheckMyStats, and another $5 or so with Adsense.

    Surveys For Money received quite a few PR1 internal pages, with my post on High Paid Surveys getting a PR2.

    My focus for 2010 for this blog is to start building a list off of this blog and continue to improve search engine rankings.

  3. SoftwareProducts.com.au (PR0-PR1)

    This one was of those spur of the moment domain purchases. I thought, ‘What a fantastic keyword domain!’, but forgot that even with a great domain, you still have to put effort into the blog.

    I did a little bit of work on SoftwareProducts.com.au and it still get’s me the odd click in Adsense, but I would like some extra time to make it a lot better than it currently is. That being said, I got quite a few PR1 internal links and one PR2 page for a post on Watch TV Online.

As you can probably see, that I have started to focus my attention of the Australian market with few .com.au domains. I think this has been one of my better blogging decisions and I look forward to seeing how these blogs perform over 2010.

So, was it just me, or did Google visit some of your blogs and give you a nice New Years present?
