There are lot of questions asked about how to improve Google Pagerank. Most people wondering how can suddenly their pagerank drop from PR4 to PR0, and how eventually the PR0 blog jump up to PR3. One of the blogger who facing the situation is Roseate, where you can read about it here.

Its weird to see how changes on Pagerank. A lot of speculations going through, while most blog owner digg the problem to see the major course this thing happen to their blog.

Roseate also have her own conclusion on what was actually happen when her blog PR suddenly drop drastically. Here is what she has to say...


Google Is Driving Me Crazy In It’s PageRank Strategy !!!

After my PageRank went to PR0 from PR3 at this blog, I realized it was because of the sponsored posts, then I knew that google is not against paid posts, but they want us to add “re=nofollow” to them and it’s ok …. So I did so, added nofollow to all my sponsored posts, as google said that it’s ok to pay for a post to get traffic or noticed, but not to build a PageRank! ….. Then my dear Google was kind enough and gave me a PR2 !!! … I was like “TWO!!! Mmmm ok … no prob …. the next update will be better” …. But guess what, as usual and expected from google “expected by me!” that was the last PR I got, the next update and the following ones “god know how many updates they were!!” I never got anything, a PR0 my blog is now and I think it will stay that way as I can’t guess what my dear Google saw wrong at my blog to do so!!!

P.S. Although my traffic is increasing, and my blog is doing well (not that much affected by PR) … but I would prefer to get a PR, as all of the bloggers and webmasters are going crazy about it, and everyone is being “proud” by having a PR this or PR that!!!

region.

The significant collection of American Indian art, as well as collections of glass and porcelain, and rare books and manuscripts can be found in the museum.

The museum is divided into several sections to give a better experience to a visitors.

Western Art

The Stark Museum of Art’s Western Art collection conveys the artistic interpretation of the western region over two centuries.

American Indian Art

The American Indian collection consists of objects created by members of the tribes of the Great Plains, Southwest, Eastern Woodlands and Northwest Coast. The collection includes excellent examples of Plains clothing, body ornaments, and beadwork, such as elaborately beaded moccasins.

Decorative Arts

The Decorative Arts collection features primarily glass and porcelain. It includes numerous items from Steuben Glass, including the only complete set of The United States in Crystal, a series of bowls engraved with scenes representing each of the 50 states as well as Puerto Rico and the Union….and more. The Stark Museum of Art collection holds the entire series as well as some duplicates, including unpainted versions. The collection also includes a series of porcelain birds by artist Edward Marshall Boehm.

Rare Books and Manuscripts

The Rare Books and Manuscripts collection includes The Birds of America by naturalist John James Audubon. These five double elephant folios, which depict the birds of North America, belonged to the artist. The groundbreaking publication is widely regarded as one of the finest illustrated books of all time. In addition to Audubon’s The Birds of America are letters and journals by Audubon and artist Paul Kane, seven Books of Hours manuscripts, and more rare treasures.

The Stark Museum of Art in Orange, Texas, began as a vision of H.J. Lutcher Stark and his mother, Miriam Lutcher Stark, an enthusiastic collector of art, furniture, and decorative items from around the world. Lutcher Stark developed a similar passion for collecting, with a particular interest in nature and art depicting the American West. Both Miriam and Lutcher Stark shared the desire that one day a museum in Orange, Texas, would display the works of art they collected.

The Stark Foundation carries on the philanthropic legacy of Nelda and Lutcher Stark. Stark Foundation has a mission to improve the quality of life in Southeast Texas by encouraging, promoting and assisting education, the arts, and health and human services. The Foundation carries out this mandate, in part, through the programs of the Stark Museum of Art, The W.H. Stark House, the Frances Ann Lutcher Theater for the Performing Arts, and Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center.

Nature is nice, and whenever someone thinks of having a vacation they normally think about going to an “out of city” region, where the nature and good view.

Well, for me I love the cities! the building, roads, bridges, cars, etc.. so when I think of visiting a new place I love new towns/cities with “the look of 2008!” … and when ever I have a chance for a vacation, I choose one of the places I haven’t been too, that have new buildings and cities…. (oh I love the art in those new buildings!).

According to that, New York City is one of the places I loved… tall buildings, the roads… so before I went to visit New York City I was thinking of the things to do in New York other than the view.

It’s not all about the buildings there, I also discovered the sea and yachts, and those are one of my favorite places to visit in any country (that have it!). It’s a nice relaxing view, and the sea is always the best, especially when having a nice trip on it with a yacht.

A friend described having nice time visiting Washington dc sightseeing, but I still think that New York City is the best! even after having a look at things to do in Las Vegas (I know most of you will think I am wrong!), but maybe that is because I had a nice time there?!

Trusted Tours & Attractions website have it all about the thinks you can do in many cities in the US, and you can also read there online travel guides. They also offers discounted tickets to the best sightseeing tours in 23 cities across America.

You may sign up for the Trusted Travels eNewsletter too, to get ideas on what to do in your next vacation, that will also enter you to win a handheld GPS Offer (ends June 30th, 2008).

SEO, formally known as Search Engine Optimization, is a way of developing or reconstructing the volume and quality of traffic to a website from search engines via the usual and normal search result. It involves putting up and designing a website so that search engines will find the pages and index them in no time.

Most of the time, when someone surfs the internet and look for a certain topic on a search engine, the ones that are on the first page of the search results list are more visited. Through SEO, it will definitely target various kinds of search like image search, local search and industry-specific vertical search engines.

Do you want to put your website in the high ranking? Here are some tips you have to consider:

Website Optimization = Content + Links = High Ranking


1. How Google Measures Link Popularity

Higher link popularity scores = Higher search engine ranking
Link popularity is by far the most important factor for determining your search engine ranking. You need to know what link popularity is, why it is so important, and how Google measures your link popularity (over 50% of all search engine traffic comes from Google, and if you can get to the top of Google, you will raise to the top of the others search engines as well).

Link popularity - the number of links (votes) that SE have for your site.
Here is a link for a good tool that measures the link popularity from SE’s. It shows you the link popularity from Google Yahoo and MSN and lets you to see the history report so you to figure out the rise of your site.

2. Articles

Consistency is the key. It is a fact that as more and more articles are added to article directories, your article will go lower in the listings, but if you constantly and consistently submit new articles, then you will continue to reap the benefits. Making articles is a great way to build up the link popularity of your website. It gives you life-time links.

Always close your articles off with a link to your site which is relevant to the copy of the article. Hyperlink the keyword with your url. For example:

Author Bio:
“Johnny Brown is an expert in affiliate marketing. Visit his site for more online marketing tips.”

3. Control Your Words<

"Not everything that counts can be counted and not everything that can be counted counts".

This does not apply to our situation. In the Meta Tags, you must count every word and every keyword. Use a tool like this one to count the characters from your Meta tags.

4. Optimize the Title Tag

Include 1-2 of your most important keyword phrases in the title tag, but don’t just list keywords.

If you just list keywords, you risk being viewed as spamming the search engines which can ultimately lead to you being blacklisted and not included at all.

Your title tag should include your keyword phrases within a readable sentence to avoid this problem.

Make your title appealing to humans!

Don’t forget that even if you get that top listing in the search engines, our listing still needs to say something that makes the surfer want to click your link and visit your site.

Since the length of your title tag could cause some engines to crop it, we suggest place the keywords at the beginning of the tag when possible to decrease the risk of having them cut off.

Each page of your site should have its own title tag with its own keywords that relate to the page that it appears on.

5. Optimize the Meta Description Tag

Give appropriate descriptions (as some search engines display this description in the search result), make it more appropriate to your site. Put only targeted keywords in description. Do not stuff the description with more keywords. Restrict the number of words in this tag to 10 to 15 words.

Place the most important phrases at the start of the description, so, even if any search engine omits some part of the description, the important phrases will be displayed.

6. Optimize the Meta Keywords Tag

The importance of Meta Tags is debated these days. So this is an optional extra.

Include only the keywords that appear in the body text, and no more than 5-7 keywords. Add alternate spelling of words (including typos) and synonyms of those keywords.

A fun and profitable way to build your business could be affiliate marketing. However, it is very important to be sure that you are choosing the right programs. There are a lot of good programs, but there are an equal number of companies that are outright scams and will never even pay you for your hard efforts. And still the worse is the company suddenly close while still owe you your commission.

How to avoid these scams: Doing you research well is the best way to avoid these scams. Check out these points before joining:

1. Does the company have good support? Do they answer emails and have valid contact information?
2. Do they have a valid offline address?
3. What % of commission do they pay; 30%-50% is the best.
4. Tracking system - this should be in real time and accurate.
5. Products, should be well targeted for your market and of good quality

Where to research:

1. Forums, related to your industry. There are many savvy people who use the forums, and you may be sure they will tell it like it is. There are few programs out there that at least somebody has heard of and can give educated advice on.
2. The Discussion lists
3. Look into the program carefully yourself.
4. Put the company name, plus the word scam, into the search engines and see what comes up. Use your own judgment, as sometimes these reviews may not be 100% unbiased.

Lokking before you join is the golden rule to avoid being scammed, and do not be afraid to ask other people’s opinions. If it looks too good to be true it very likely is, so do not get involved with a company that needs to hype up its opportunity or program. When you are alert and use caution before rushing into something you will be able to choose good reliable programs that will help you in reaping profit for many years to come.

Many websites provide easy means to create a Blog (eg: blogger.com). The only drawback that you come across is that you won’t have your personal domain name, as an alternative your blog address would be something like: yourblogname.blogspot.com and so on. As long as you write attractive posts, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a domain name. The only significant element is the quality of your content.

However, if you desire to be identified and kept in mind among loads of other blogs then it is better to have your own domain name rather than a sub-domain. But if you are planning to write on less popular subject such as your pets, then perhaps you won’t require your own domain name. In case you are a professional and desire to create a blog that would assist you in constructing your professional status then it is very essential for you to register your own domain name.

Many of the free blog hosts provide unlimited room for your text but not for videos and photographs and music that you wish to upload and share with your readers. It would have a big impact if you have huge amount of readers and if your posts are straightly aimed towards media interests. All good web hosting providers will give you huge space that is enough to post loads of images, music and videos. Owning a Domain Name might make you appear professional but it may not make you a Pro-blogger. A few ad networks don’t permit your site if it doesn’t have its own domain name. A few free blog services don’t let you add ads in your blog. Sometimes if you don’t have a domain name, you would be losing some profit. But if you succeed in drawing some visitors and RSS subscribers then your blog has the possibility of earning income. Blog can earn some additional income for small investment.

If you are looking forward to start a blog for the first time then here is a list of things that you could follow and make it work.

Decide on what you want your blog to stand for:

You should always know what you want your blog to be on. Because if you don’t know on what your blog is; then you won’t have any clue about your niche. If this is the case your blog will perish very soon. Therefore choose a niche and make sure that it is a wide one so that you can keep blogging on it for a long time.

Think of a title that is attractive, interesting and simple to keep in mind:

Once you have decided on what your blog is supposed to be on, and then post something that captures people’s attention. Keep your blog’s brand catchy so that people will click on it.

Purchase a Domain Name that is concerned to your title:

This is because it will be easy to remember. As there are loads of websites coming up, Domain name too counts these days. Try keeping it short so that people can easily remember. The shorter it is the better.

Select a blogging platform:

Consider your requirement and budget. There are a number of free blogging sites that you will find in which you can start and run a blog for free.

There are a number of questions regarding which blog platform to select. You cannot specifically say which blog platform is the best to select because it totally depends on the purpose of your blog. Here are some factors that you would want to consider in selecting a blog platform.

There are a huge number of blogs platforms available in the market. You could change your blog platform anytime later if you wish to, majority of them have methods of importing and exporting the matter later. Normally there are some costs attached with such transfers. It is wise not to hurry and select the first option you come across. Take some time to decide, research a little and you could come across a perfect platform that would last for a long time. Try to answer the questions given below and you might end up getting the perfect track.

The most fundamental thing to do while selecting a blog platform is to keep in mind what is your requirement and purpose of your blog. Beginners would find it a little tricky to make a decision. But considering the following questions would help you to decide easily.

• What is the key purpose of your blog?
• Would you like to continue blogging for a longer period?
• Are you thinking of adding ads on your blog?
• Are you planning to start the blog as a hobby or as a professional?

There would be many other doubts you would want to clear. It’s a good thing to clear these doubts with some research because there are a few platforms that are suitable for people who want to maintain a blog as a hobby and the ones who think of maintaining it professionally.

If you are planning to select Wordpress, then it’s a good choice. This blog is using WordPress. You may easily install it with one click at webhosts that support wordpress.

Blog platforms are available in a wide selection. You will come across the ones that are free of cost and also paid ones. But you really don’t need paid ones, as wordpress and blogger are great and free! (plus others too). There are three essential things that are worth paying for. They are:

• Domain Name
• Blog Hosting

Various blogging platforms provide diverse levels of service. A few of them like Wordpress and Blogger provide platform, domain name and free hosting as well. But it’s better to get your own host, and install the free platform on it.

The other expenses that you would want to consider in the initial stage are:

Design: each platform is available with free templates. However, if you wish to have a more personal look then you will have to know some design skills or take the help of someone who can design or get a design by paying.

Blog tools: There are huge amount of tools that are available if you pay for them, to help your blogging better. They contain stats packages, offline blog posting tools etc. If you are new to blogging you will not need these tools but as you get deep into it, you might need them.

If you are a newbie in the field of blogging and not too technologically minded then there are a few blog platforms that are better suited for you. The other alternative is to search for someone who could help you technically. The best part about blogging is that there are a wide range of information available as well as some devoted forums that help people to understand more about the platforms they have selected. While selecting a platform it would be good to find out what others are into. In the past few years a number of platforms have taken birth and later perished and it would continue to happen.

Once you are clear with the above questions then you will have to ask yourself if you want a hosted platform or a stand alone platform.

Hosted Blog Platforms:

Hosted blog platform is a kind which many bloggers select in the beginning just for the reason that they are easy to use and less expensive. The most popular hosted blog platform is blogger.com. However you will also find platforms such as MSN spaces and Wordpress.com. These platforms are hosted blog platforms as they host the blogs on their own domain. Once your blog is created, you will be given a web address that is normally a combination of the name of your blog and their own URL.

Stand Alone Blog Platforms:

The other type of blog platform is stand alone platform that is hosted under your personal domain. Textpattern, B2Evolution, are some of the stand alone blog platforms that you can make use of.
