Hold the Sneaky Punch, Do Blogger Blogs Have Continually Updating Page Ranks?

January 17, 2007 · 1 Comment

BloggerMost people know that the google update is coming in the next few weeks. We are patiently waiting for our site’s page rank to increase, and some of us are rushing to get some sites made. Which is why what I found yesterday on Blogger so interesting. It seems that blogs hosted on Googles blog platform, Blogger, are having the page rank updated continually. If this is true, well then, I might have to start making some feeder blogs with a blogspot.com attached to the domain name.

The other day i was on my friend’s blog, The Bangkok Gentlejerk Hideaway, as we are writing an ebook on Thailand Travel together, hoping to tap
this niche.  I lived there for two years and frequently go there.

Well I know that he just started his blog a month ago which means his page rank should be a 0, not a 2. The last google update was over two months ago and has yet to come, so this is very interesting.

It got this page rank in between google updates. I have a theory that Google is trying to make their platform more attractive and woo some bloggers from wordpress by allowing only their blogs to have continually updating page rank.

If it is possible and true, its a great tactic on google’s part.

Netfirms domain name: Cheapest (for now) but BEST domain name registration?

August 17, 2006 · 3 Comments

I am switching my domain name registrations to netfirms.com, based mostly on the 4.95 registration fee they offer, but because they have a good track record on webhostingreview.com I was using ipowerweb.com while they had their 1.95 fee, but they have moved that back up to 6.95. The ipowerweb sales guy keeps calling me to get a hosting plan with him, so its quite obvious they had a low price to get more hosting accounts.

At this time, netfirms seems to be best deal on the net for cheapest domain name registration. They are ICANN accreditted ofcourse, and their domain name page has Google Page Rank of 8/10. If the 800lb gorilla endorses them this much, you probably can’t go wrong.
Update: After using them for a couple months now, I am happy with their cpanel interface. Also, if you are going to be doing a wordpress blog with them, changing your permalink structure is very easy, no htaccess file editing.
