My Blog is Almost 10 Months Old

Kent — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 10:40:45 +0000

It is hard for me to believe that around 10 months have elapsed since my first post on this blog. So many things changed since then. I welcomed some interesting people visiting my website. I visited many websites myself and learned a few valuable lessons. Am I tired of blogging? Did I run out of ideas? It is quite the opposite. I am more excited now than when I wrote my first post. Is there any particular reason for that? I think there is. For me blogging is similar to playing online RPG games. The more you play a game, the more interesting it becomes, the more involved you get, and the less likely you are to stop playing since you achieved so much. It is similar with blogging, because you work on it, get higher Page Rank, lower Alexa score, obtain more Technorati favorites, and make new friends. You might be wondering what my plans for the next weeks, months, or years are. My actions will definitely focus on marketing my website, making it more popular, as well as improving the quality of my posts. I am happy that it is my readers who visit my blog, read my posts, leave comments, and that ultimately motivate me to blog.

Google’s PR is Fluctuating

Google’s Page Rank provides the basis for all of Google’s web search tools. Very often people are noticing that their PR is fluctuating. Sometimes it is growing, while sometimes it is dropping. There have been many cases of famous blogs like, for example, ProBlogger.net having their Page Rank reduced but later increased again. Those can be quite sudden and drastic changes. There are also some bloggers reporting that some of their sites have a high PR even though they only have a few backlinks. It is hard to say what algorithm Google is really using for their calculations, and whether it is reasonable.
Of course, many people say that PR is not that important and one should not focus his attention on it, but on the other hand blogs with high PR might be more respected in the blogosphere. That is because most people care about Google’s opinion.

Targeted Advertising

BlogHerAds is an ad network which offers quite a lot of features:

• When ads are not available then headlines from blogs within the network are rotated .
• Bloggers can choose a number of ad sizes. This is a very useful feature for those who want to choose an ad which will fit with their template.
• Bloggers get around 60% of the revenue earned.
• You can use up to three ads per page.
BlogHerAds is an advertising network which only allows women to join. Fortunately, they do not have further limitations like age or race, as this would really limit the amount of bloggers that could join them and would seem even more awkward for some people. So basically if you join this network you won’t be able to invite your husband, son or any other friends or family members which are male. Seems quite confusing why they would choose gender as a prerequisite, especially when many men and women have similar interests, traffic and would be willing to display the same ads. However, the site claims you can be accepted even if you are not female, but you need to have a demonstrated female audience, which would be almost impossible to do, because no tracking tools record gender.
