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.

BONTB Deserves to be Mentioned
February 29, 2008
It's perhaps too long since I last posted any article on the web design or blogging topic. Today I decide to break the ice by mentioning a blog that I think deserve to be mentioned. It's Blog or Not to Blog (BONTB.com). I haven't visited BONTB for a while and I notice the blog is still active and with more great tips. I just made a few comments on that blog and so I decide to write a review about it here.

New Look for My WordPress Blog for 2008
December 28, 2007
Christmas is getting over and New Year is coming. The seasonal theme is getting out-dated soon in a week or so. Also, my blog Binh dot Name is growing from few unique visitors to average 50 per day. I really need a brand new unique look for a professional image.
So far I've been holding back writing and promoting my blog and asked myself Should I Migrate to WordPress MU?. Since then I made the decision to Migrate to WordPress MU and then finally Successfully Migrated to WordPress MU.

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.

Special Days – PageRank for Google is 0
November 13, 2007
I was checking my PageRank and bump into this mysterious number, 0/10. At first I feel terrified.
"What? How come my PageRanks are all 0? Did Google penalize me for something?"
Popular Tools Cause Surprise
It came to a calm-down when I check the PageRank for www.google.com, which also returned 0/10. Then I check PageRank for yahoo.com, johnchow.com, etc, all returned 0/10. The same results came from the following PageRank checkers:
