Position 10 for SEO Web Design
July 31, 2008
Now Binh.name is being positioned 10 on both main keywords:
- SEO Web Design, and
- SEO Web Designer.
In the past it used to have top position for my first name Binh. However, it may be due to Google updating the PR, my site is being listed at position #13 for that.
Mean while, for the same potential reason, my name Binh Nguyen normally placed my site on #3 position, now place it on top position.
If I build links well, I expect in the future my site also have site links like other high PR sites have. However, I'm not seriously doing it yet.

Improve PageRank By Buying High PR Domains
March 15, 2008
Did anyone successfully improve their site's PageRank using old domain names with higher PageRank? I am doing a case study and I bought a few domains with PR of 5. Hopefully that is white hat SEO and Google won't penalize me for that.
Those domains are not in Google index. So I would like to do a test and link to them from this post to see if within the next few days they will be in Google SERP.
The third domain is ModulinePro.com. I believe this to be Moduline Pro product site, which is now under my ownership.

Surprised PageRank Update in February 2008
March 1, 2008
Did you see the recent PageRank (PR) update? When did it happen? A few days ago my homepage was still at PR 2, now suddently jumped to PR 3 out of thin air without me building any massive amount of links. This is not good. I didn't prepare any new building.
I guess the update just happened because it's end of Febuary in the US, and it's already 1st of March here in Asia. I'm not sure about this, but I'm sure about one thing, my PR increased.

Binh.name Positioned 3rd for my Own Name
March 1, 2008
It's a very big surprise for me to see my blog is listed at third position for the following keywords:
So what's the secret behind all this? The answer will be given at the end of this post, for now, allow me to keep on bragging.
Of course those keywords mean nothing for money and keyword ranking, because who would ever search for binh or binh nguyen? But that was my experiment and I'm extremely happy with this result.
What sort of experiment? You may ask. For a while, my blog has been on first position for only the following keywords:

How to Leave Comments the Smart Way
November 28, 2007
When you leave comments on a blog post, do you ever concern the benefits beside satisfying your need to say out opinions? Most likely not, and this article may make you change your mind and teach you how to comment the smarter way.
Why comment smartly?
Search engine relies on links to calculate link popularity and hence prioritize pages on the search results. If you have a website or blog you would like to have the search engines to recognize it.
One method of building link popularity is to include your home page address in the comments that you leave on other blogs. However, most of those blogs block search engines from seeing your address.
