The Google PR Update
It has been quiet some time that I have not really logged into those webmaster and SEO forums, so I missed all the excitement and discussions of those long threads regarding “Predict your Google PR” and how everyone used to keep a count on days..while Google used to enjuoy all the attention it gets during those days.
Yesterday, while updating one of my new sites, I saw a faint glimpse of that green bar on my toolbar and I was like.. Oh, so this one got a PR now, it was just 1 so as I said, it was not really visible 
And then I went onto check all my other sites and see what is the outcome of the recent update. As predicted most of the had lost its earlier high PR and lost 1 or 2 rank. It ddin’t really bother me also as I am seeing so much increase in my traffic and earnings. So the PR update was not really something I was looking forward to and was not too keen about getting high values.
I do agree, having a high PR certainly helps when you are selling ad space and trying to sell your website, but as we all know, PR is most importantly dependent on web page linking and with website owners buying links on high PR sites and making sure that they have links from all corners, the real authenticity and the importance of GOOGLE PR (as it used to be) is somewhat compromised these days. If you have money to spend on buying links, you certainly can get high PR. So my main aim is to work on the rankings of my keywords rather than getting high PR. I hope it does not become like the Alexa Rank, which you can increase double fold in just 1-2 days

One of my resolutions for 2008 was to do regular posting on my blog and make it more popular. So here I am thinking what to write today. Today there is no post, just figures to look at and I am happy to look at these figures. My SEO knowledge and work on the site is paying now and with the start of 2008, I am seeing an increased traffic on my site and also an increase in the earnings. Check out the image which shows my baby site’s keyword activity for 3 hours. Most of my traffic is from organic search and returning visitors or visitors recommended by the parents who frequent the site so often. It seems the site is doing really really well in mos of the keywords I aimed for and they are all ranked on first page and most of them on 1st and 2nd position.
