Cool one

This unnecessary debate has been blown way out of proportion and Mr. Andrew Symonds will now have to live with the “monkey” tag forever!

The update comes close on the heels of the one that took many a big site/blog by surprise when they were penalized for selling text links to advertisers without a proper declaration in the form of a “nofollw” tag.

This new update is extremely interesting as even I have found that one of my sites showing 100+ backlinks in Google where earlier the number was stuck at less than 40 for over 7-8 months.

I hope that the PR of this site of mine will also register some improvement.

What say you, guys? Seen anything yet? Check your PR and let me know

There are a lot of people out there professing their frustration on the uselessness of Google PR Updates and I have this to say to them:

Whether or not you admit, it is a pleasure to see that green bar tick on to a greater number and no matter how much you say that it doesn’t matter, I bet you’d be disappointed to see your Google PR go down!

I know that I am not gonna see any improvement in my PR in this update as I have lost quite a few backlinks lately. Maybe I’d lose a spot! But it wouldn’t stop me from trying and getting it better in the next Google PageRank update!

Here’s to the latest pagerank update in Google!

I believe that every search engine optimizer must be deriving an evil pleasure seeing his website rising up on the Google ranking scale and beating others in their niche. And when the money starts rolling in… ahhhhh… the pleasure peaks to a new high and we get back to our computers to try and get our site rank even higher!

Ok, so I have spent over 4 years learning the ropes and still I am far from being a true expert. Still, I have managed some good rankings in various search engines for the few clients I have but only through white-hat seo techniques. It takes longer and involves a lot of effort and brings in both visibility and exposure as well as revenues for sites but unfortunately people do not want to pay the fair price for the same.

Representing an Indian SEO Company is not an easy job as there exist a large number of rogue SEOs in the market that offer their SEO services for peanuts and then deploy unethical and shady techniques to get their clients’ website zoom amongst the Top 10.

If only we could convince ourselves to do that, but no! How can we? We love our clients and are proud that we get repeat business from all of them. It is because of the trust they have on us and the way we reciprocate their trust with good results achieved through ethical seo techniques and hard work!

We will soon begin a series of SEO Tutorials featuring SEO Tips and SEO Tricks to help newbies understand the concept of effective search engine optimization using ethical white-hat techniques and get their website rank well on Google, Yahoo and MSN.

It is believed that there exists a link between the forthcoming Google PageRank update and the service outage that many Google Analytics users reported late last week.

It has been observed that no updates have a negative effect on a blog’s PageRank and this has me scared! I have been very lazy and not updated this blog of mine for months! Hope I don’t lose the PR5 I currently have!

Till now the DigPageRank tool doesn’t show any change or fluctuations for my site on different Google datacenters. I guess that the actual PageRank export will take another week or so.

I have also heard that the Google will be adjusting its ranking algorithm and shedding off the supplemental results from its index. let’s see how it affects some of my sites. I just can’t wait for the update and find out if I have lost some Google Love! I definitely am going to post regularly now and ensure that I get some favour in the next Google update.

Wordpress 2.2

Wow… and wow, yet again!

Do check out the goodies with the new Wordpress 2.2:

• Now you have the WordPress Widgets embedded in the Wordpress 2.2 distribution, and has apparently been significantly cleaned up, and enabled for the default themes.
• Wordpress 2.2 provides full Atom support, including updating our Atom feeds to use the 1.0 standard spec and including an implementation of the Atom Publishing API to complement our XML-RPC interface.
• Wordpress 2.2 also unveils a new Blogger importer that will enable users to handle imports from the latest version of Google’s Blogger. All one needs to do is to provide the login details of their Google Account and sip… zap… zoom… your posts and comments at your Blogger blog appear in your Wordpress Blog!
• I swear that I have always been bugged by not only the number of SPAM comments I receive on my blogs but also having to edit/delete them and then click on the next page and then the next page and so on… the new Wordpress 2.2 relieves one of such trouble with featuring infinite comment stream, meaning that when I got to my Edit Comments page and delete or spam a comment, I will always have 20 items on the page as the page will update itself with the next record in line while it deletes/spam the comment chosen by me… nifty, eh… Thanks to AJAX…
• Wordpres 2.2 will also prevent people from breaking up their blog by preventing them from activating a plugin or editing a file that might do so.
• And lots more…

Whoa… some load of features…

The guys at Wordpress never do let up, do they?

And here I am… stuck with one of the oldest versions of Wordpress on this blog as I am not too confident about upgrading… it being so old a version… All the other of my blogs are updated to Wordpress 2.1.3 but somehow, this one… I still have to get around to doing it… maybe now…

Let’s see…

Yes, the April 2007 Google PR Update is definitely underway and here’s the proof from one of the best Google PR Predictors - LivePR for this blog of mine.

As you will notice from the pic above, there are lots of Google datacenters showing PR0 for this site when I have gained quite a few backlinks since the last update in January 2007. It is generally believed that if a lot of Google’s datacenters show PR0 for an established site, it means that the site’s PR will change, for better.

I’m looking forward to some good news in April.

I really can’t wait to see it happen soon and I am not like the hypocrites who insist that it really doesn’t matters a great deal.

It is after all the proof of the success of all the hard work one puts into optimizing a site for search engines and actively goes after backlinks acquisition. It excites me to find out just to what extent my link building and seo strategies implemented on my sites have actually paid off.

So, has anyone else seen any change in their Google PR off late?

I just ran into an extremely useful tutorial that shows how to actually design your own Wordpress Template. Check it out here.

FAQs about Web Hosting

Why Do I Need Web Hosting?
If you want to reach out to a global audience, a web site is the most affordable option. And, to have a web site on the internet you will need web hosting. In simple words, web hosting provides a way for people to access your web site on the internet. Without it, there would be no way for people to see the page.

To understand web hosting, you need to know what a web page is. A web page is, simply put, a file. When you or your designer builds a web page, you or they save it as a file on a computer. In order to get the web page - a file - visible on the internet, you need to rent some space on a computer that specializes in serving files out across the internet to “host” your web page for you.

How Does a Web Site Get From My Computer to a Web Host?
There are several different tools you can use to get your web site files from your computer to a web host. The most commonly use is FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol. There is a very good free FTP program called FileZilla, which you can download at http://filezilla.sourceforge.net. Your web host will supply you with a server name, username and password which you input into the program to gain access. Once you’re set up, you can use the FTP program to “upload” files from your computer to the web host. Most FTP programs work with a simple drag-and-drop interface.

How Do I Find a Web Host?
There are several thousand web hosting companies out there to choose from. It’s best to chose a web hosting company based on a recommendation. There are several good hosting review web sites on the internet where you can do a little research. You can expect to pay from 8-10 dollars each month for a basic hosting service. Once you purchase a web hosting subscription, the host will supply you with login information to a control panel, where you can manage your e-mail and FTP accounts, or they will supply you with just the FTP information.

Well, I think it’d at least bust Google’s monopoly in the domain. Anyway, an interesting tool by Microsoft.

The tool named as Google Trends, aims to provide insights into broad search patterns.

“It is based upon just a portion of our searches, and several approximations are used when computing your results. Please keep this in mind when using it,” the Google web site says.

The best part is that it offers flexibility of studying the trends based on data spread over a long period of time if that’s what a user is looking for. For search engine optimizers like me, the last month’s traffic trends provide a lot of insight particularly when we have at our disposal also the regions where these searches originated.

What say you, guys?

Yahoo! has introduced its new home page design for its audiences to test and send feedback on. Personally, I like the new layouts, both the broad and the narrow one. The functionality and the possibilities of customisation are super.

The only thing that I miss, though, is the riot of colours that I had known Yahoo! for. They must introduce some colours to the design otherwise it looks a bit flat!

What say, you guys?

Creativatorz is very much alive and kicking.
