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.

- SEO web design: #58+ down to #54

- SEO web designer: #39+ down to #37

- Binh: #3+ down to #1

New Webmaster Resources Page
May 4, 2008
I got bored with my own blog. So I believe people also get bored. I decided to make a new page called Resources which include links to many resources for webmasters. At the moment the page is only limited to having:
- Search Enging Optimization Resources
- Google Webmaster Resources
- Self SEO Tools
In the future I will include more links as I find out relevant to my site.
I want to name this page like "Webmaster Resources". Unfortunately with the current limitation with the theme, I can't name the page any longer than "Resource". Anything goes in Page title will goes in the menu, which will make it look rediculous.

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.

Some SEO Tweaks on 8 Mar 2008
March 8, 2008
I've made a few more changes. This times it's especially for SEO purpose.
Blog Title
I change my blog name from 'Webmaster Binh Nguyen's Blog | Binh.name' to 'SEO Web Designer Binh Nguyen'.This title more accurately describes my position. Firstly 'webmaster' doesn't need to have strong programming skills. Secondly, although I'm more a web developer (more coding) than a web designer (more designing) but people don't use the term web developer as often as web designer.
Another point to be noticed is that I practice more SEO design than Graphic design. That's why now I choose SEO Web Designer.

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.

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.

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.
