Day 30: Achieving Google Page Rank

Wow, 30 days is really really short sometimes. It’s been an enlightening experience trying to build up a traffic flow using just comments, but one that was definitely worth the time and trouble. I have made some great new friends, read a lot of excellent information (and some not so great) and learned more about Google and how they rank...

Day 21: Achieving Google Page Rank

If you really want to crank up your skills, try a case study! There is something about being held accountable, publishing results and a sort of peer review that forces you to look deeper, probe the inner workings and find real results. I highly recommend it.

Link Building With Comments?

If you have been following along on the Google Page Rank case study, you know that I have been seeking and commenting on popular blogs, especially those that have a higher Google PR than mine.

Which means, I might not "see" the results to my Page Rank until sometime after October. So,...

Day 7: Achieving Google Page Rank

Day 3: Achieving Google Page Rank

As it happens, real life can sometimes be a b$#@h. Just after completing the Day 1 entry, I started experiencing some serious computer problems. Surf for blog to post on? No way, I can’t even open two windows at the same time without everything grinding to a halt. I struggled all day, all night and into the next day and have been unable to...

Case Study: Achieving Google Page Rank

Once you get serious about blogging, there is nothing more frustrating than feeling like you are shouting in an empty room or driving alone down a long empty road. Hello? Anyone out there? I have been blogging now for a bit over a year. My first blog was on Blogger.com and I slowly built up my traffic and “readership”. I started with...
