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.

Web Tools and Tips and Me

December 18, 2007

Did you notice? At the very beginning of this blog I wrote this article: Basic Windows Tweaks for Better Computing Experience. Well, I still have plenty of similar articles up in my sleeves and haven't publish them yet. But I do have some interesting computer tips (old link) to share at Opentips.com written by various experts.

In Australia I spent most of my time working as a computer service technician. My job was to fix broken computer and maintain a network of around 20 computers for Internet cafe. It cost people up to $80 for a repair I done in few hours. Even when not at work, tweaking and maintaining a Windows PC is just my daily 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.

Special Days – PageRank for Google is 0

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:

  1. Check Page Rank
  2. Page Rank - whats my page rank
