Page Rank Update: Google Give’s a New Years Present
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.
-
FranchiseBuzz.com.au (PR0-PR2)
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/)
-
SurveysForMoney.com.au (PR0-PR1)
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.
-
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?
All my sites that I don’t care about got PR updates between 1-4. None of my main earning sites got PR though…not sure if google is still working its stuff
Wow! Crazy that isn;t it. Why don’t you consider selling your PR4 ones? They would have some value.
Just curious, how would you know that ‘Google stopped by?’
I use a addon to my firefox browser which you can get at: http://www.quirk.biz/searchstatus/
And it tells you the Google page rank of your page. So each day I visit my blogs I saw that there was no page rank and when I visited today it was a PR2 – which means Google has updated page ranks on everyones blogs.
Mine’s still a page rank 3. well at least it didn’t go down. ;)
Liane – It is the same with StandOutBlogger.com. I have been a 3 for over a year now. Need to spend some time link building I think.
Congratulations Tom! Success Circuit is currently a 2, it used to be a 3 but I think it changed a few months ago (when I was quite inactive). Time to get that up to 4!
Hi Tom,
I didn’t know until I saw your post and I got a nice surprise for a new affiliate marketing blog of mine too. It got a PR1.
Shane – I know what you mean. I could get StandOutBlogger so much high if I only spent more time on it.
Pete- That is great to hear!
All of my blogs went up or remained static…better than the last update when most went down.
Paula from Affiliate Blog Online´s last blog ..Google Pagerank Update for January 2010 – How did you go?
That is great to hear :):)
Hi Thom, I just saw your blog
I am a little bit confused here… some people say the more important think to your site is the traffic rank from Alexa. So, what do you think? google PR or alexa rank? I need your opinion. thanks :)
Marikxon Manurung´s last blog ..Discount Hot Tub
Marikxon – Neither give you much more than a guide. I would focus on building both of them, because together they help sell advertising. But overall, I would keep working on building my real traffic which can be gauged through Google Analytics.
Ironically the blog I’m moving everything to lost the 1 it had. lol

Congratulations Tom, you’ve clearly been working hard on those sites. Teenius is still stuck at a PR3.
From what I hear, it’s much harder to break the PR 3-4 barrier than it is for any other number. I know when Blogussion went up to a 4 it’d taken them a good amount of time and link building. Still, I’m sure with some SEO’ing it’s achievable! ;)

Hey Congratulations for your PR update.. and lets hope in next PR update Standoutblogger will get some PR upliftment too. :)

Hi Tom,
I did get a surprise when my blog went from PR0 to PR3. It gave me some momentum to work harder in 2010. Moving to the WordPress platform and doing a lot of guest posting must’ve helped considerably. Good luck!
Best,
Bob

Nice one Tom. One of my blog just launched in November and it’s jumped from PR0 to PR2 now. Looks like a good start for me in 2010.

Congrats Tom! Some of my blogs which has a year old has never got pagerank even PR1, but they do receive traffic and earn some money too. In fact, I didn’t do any link building for them. lol!
Google didn’t give me any present this year, hope to get PR4 for my blog in 2010.
Cheers,
Lee
