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.

I'm very glad that my new site apmart.com has been indexed by Google since 1 June. Even though not all pages and posts are index, I am very happy for the result. You may read more about this even here: ApMart Indexed by Google
I have other sub domains created before buying this apmart.com domain, namely:
1. wp.binh.name - WordPress resources
2. webdesign.binh.name - Web Design
3. seo.binh.name - Search Engine Optimization
4. cntt.binh.name - CNTT (not worth mentioned).
None of those sub domains are indexed in Google. However, found out they are indexed by Yahoo!.

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:

The Future of Binh dot Name
January 23, 2008
I've been busy these few days and haven't post as many useful posts as I should. My apologies for that. I would like to restate a few reasons here and I hope to receive your suggestions. The reasons are:
- This blog is being redesigned.
- New sub domains or domains are coming up.
- The URL structure is not finalized.
If you are kind-hearted, knowledgeable and give me suggestions, I will have rewards for you too. Don't worry, the minimum I could give you are some good keyword back links to your site from my PR3 blog. I'm not rich now so my pocket money is limited. I can make some nice award if what you give change my life.
