Google PR Still in Flux?

October 6th 2008 23:59


My Blog's PR Still Seems to Be Fluctuating

I recently reported that my Google page rank went from PR 3 to PR 2--a sure sign that a Google Update was in progress at the time. Well, earlier today, I logged in at Writer's Notes and discovered that my PR widget was once again reporting PR 3--and is in fact still reporting PR 3, as of this writing.


Time to Do a Bit of Investigating

The question then became, "Is Google still in the middle of updating/changing some websites' PRs?" In other words, are our sites' PRs still in a state of flux? Well, to be honest, I'm not entirely certain, though I will venture a tentative "yes." I am, after all, finding some indication that certain data centers are now reporting PR 3 for Writer's Notes. And while these sites are definitely in the minority--with most still reporting PR 2, many not reporting anything at all, and some even reporting PR 0--I have the distinct feeling that something is up.


Is This Seeming PR Increase Simply My Prior PR Resurfacing?

I could be wrong, of course. After all, one would expect that perhaps some data centers might be lagging behind in changing my prior PR3 to its newly lowered PR 2--and that would be a reasonable explanation for why some are currently reporting PR 3. This could in fact be the case, since I neglected to check a variety of data centers when my PR was first lowered to see whether some might have still been reporting my older page rank.

Still, the thing that causes me to question this bit of totally logical reasoning is the indisputable fact that my PR widget did register my initial drop in PR (from 3 to 2)--and now it's reporting a subsequent PR increase (back to 3). So I know that at least this one data center decreased and then subsequently increased my blog's PR--which makes it highly doubtful that the PR 3 it's reporting now could be my blog's old PR.


A Fascinating Phenomenon for Further Study

I'm planning to keep my eye on the situation to see what develops. I'll continue checking various data centers for further changes, and my guess would be that I'll find out fairly soon what's going on with Google. While I do realize that many don't regard PR as being extemely important, I find it quite fascinating to study the phenomenon!

What are your thoughts? Are you noticing any fluctuations in your own site's PR? What do you think is going on? Do you even care? Do you enjoy studying the phenomenon, as I do? Please feel free to share your thoughts with us in comments.

To your ever-increasing PR!
Jeanne


Update: I noticed yesterday, October 13th, that my PR has once again decreased to PR 2. So, apparently, the answer to my question of whether or not Google PR was still in flux when this post was written (not to mention days afterward) turns out to be a definite, but unfortunate yes. The folks at Google apparently have decided that their original decrease of my PR from 3 to 2, made earlier in the update, was the right move and have since reinstated it.


Did you enjoy this post? Have anything to add? Has your site's PR been fluctuating erratically lately, as mine has? If so, has it turned out to be higher or lower than it had been now that it's (likely) finished changing? What are your thoughts about this phenomenon of PR rankings that change two and three times during a single Google update?

Commenters or Commentators?

September 11th 2008 21:08


Which Term Do You Use?

While I realize this isn't an issue of earth-shattering importance, the question was brought home to me this morning when MS-Word unceremoniously informed me (via the dreaded squiggly red underline) that the word "commenters" was incorrect. (For those of you who may not yet know it, this is the form I use exclusively [and without apology]--at least with reference to the people who comment on blogs.)

Allow me to add here that my personal preference for the word "commenters" over "commentators" is in no way intended as a criticism of those who choose the latter term. However, my mention of this issue is intended to present the reasons for my preference, as well as the reasons why MS-Word--and anyone else who believes the word "commenters" to be second-rate English--is just plain wrong.


Dictionary Definitions

My (print) dictionary tells me that "commenter" is indeed a legitimate term for one who comments, since it happens to be listed as an accepted form of the word "comment." It also defines a "commentator" as either "one who writes commentaries" or "one who discusses or analyzes news events." Personally, I've always tended to view the term "commentator" in this more specialized and official manner.

I am aware, of course, that, because the word "commentaries," used in the first definition, can simply mean "comments," it's also perfectly legitimate to use "commentators" to describe those who comment on blogs. But, my intention in writing this post never was to dispute that fact in the first place, but rather to demonstrate that "commenters" is an equally valid alternative.

Other dictionaries I've consulted (online), however, tend to reinforce my interpretation of the term "commentator" as an expert who writes and/or broadcasts analysis of the news, sports, weather, and the like, most of these websites making no mention of the simple, casual act of "commenting." But, apparently, as in most questions which involve the continuous evolution of the language, there's a great deal of room for interpretation on this issue. So, dear readers, I would contend that the choice is entirely ours.


Judge Not

Nevertheless, I've always been--and I suspect will always remain--partial to the term "commenter" when referring to those who offer feedback on our blog posts. I also suspect that I'll continue to reserve the term "commentator" for more specialized use. You, on the other hand, may choose to do otherwise, and that's certainly your prerogative. I promise not to judge you if you won't judge me.


What's Your Take?

Which term do you prefer and why? Does it bother you to read or hear the alternate term (when used to refer to those who comment on blogs)? If so, why do you think that is? Does one or the other term seem less appropriate or somehow less grammatically correct? I'd sure love to hear your take on the topic!


Question for Those With More Recent Versions of Word

If you have a version of MS-Word that's more recent than 2003, does Spell-Check indicate that the word "commenters" is incorrect? I'm quite curious whether Word has caught up with the times and corrected this anomaly.


For the love of Words!
Jeanne

Blogging to Please Our Technorati Taskmaster: Is It Worth It?

Lately, I've noticed an interesting phenomenon with Technorati authority and ranking: If you don't happen to be getting enough backlinks to your blog quickly enough--or if the Technorati search bot just doesn't happen to be finding them for some reason--the more often you update, the faster your blog authority and ranking decrease! Isn't that strange? Wouldn't you expect your authority and ranking to increase the more often you update? I would--and it certainly used to--before I hit the 50 K mark, that is. (But, more on that later.) My authority has dropped, of late, from a high of 135 to its present 127--and my ranking has taken a similar dive--despite the fact that I've been updating more frequently than ever.

Well, apparently frequent updates aren't enough to keep the Technorati taskmaster happy. Along with those updates, you need a steady influx of new links to appease the powers that be at the Big T! The funny thing is that I've been visiting quite a few blogs and leaving a lot of comments lately, but most aren't found by the Technorati search bot and those that are, don't seem to count for much, if anything!

I've come to the (perhaps obvious) conclusion that comment links don't carry as much "authority" (or "link juice") as links that are organically integrated into blog posts. This makes sense, of course, since having your link written into a blog post is much more a vote of confidence from the blogger than is the fact that you decided to leave a comment on someone's blog along with the link that's always included. However, you would expect these comment links to count for something, since they are listed among our Technorati Blog Reactions (aka backlinks to our blogs). And you would also expect Technorati to find more of them.


Disillusioned With Technorati: The 50 K Hurdle

I must admit, though, that I'm becoming more than a little disillusioned with Technorati these days. My ranking has lost its luster! My blog authority has left me flat! Twice I have broken the Technorati 50,000 ranking, and when this post goes live, I'll no doubt end up above 50 K once again. I'm seriously considering removing the Technorati authority widget from my blog, because it's so depressing--not to mention embarrassing--to watch my authority steadily declining rather than improving each time I update!

Up to--or rather down to the 50 K point in my Technorati ranking, things went quite smoothly. Whenever I updated, both my authority and my ranking improved. But something happened at about the 50 K point (which I didn't even realize was happening until I'd gotten as low as 43 K + and didn't update for about five days: my ranking shot up (which isn't good) to over 54 K in a single day, requiring me to break 50 K all over again--a slow and painstaking process! (During that period, the same busy-ness that had caused me not to update for five days had also kept me from visiting and leaving many comments on other blogs, so of course my backlink growth-rate stagnated, as well, which contributed to the problem.)


Irony: When Blog Traffic Belies Technorati's Valuation

All this is very ironic, because, during this period, my blog's traffic had been steadily growing--and still is. Though by no means huge, it's basically doubled over the past several months. But, I suppose it only goes to show that no algorithm is perfect. It's virtually impossible to create an algorithm that addresses all components of a blog's value--or at least, no one's doing it.

Alexa addresses the issue of traffic--but only among the users of its own toolbar, which couldn't be much of a reflection of overall blog traffic from all sources and which thus makes the value of Alexa ranking questionable, in my view. Alexa, of course, totally ignores backlinks and frequency of updates, which isn't a problem in itself, but becomes more important because its traffic stats are already skewed by the fact that only one segment of the reading public is involved in compiling them.

As far as I know, Technorati ignores traffic altogether, focusing on backlinks and frequency of updates--though often not even handling these in ways that seem fair or equitable. For example, each time we update, we still (presumably) have the same number of backlinks that we had before updating, and these backlinks had a certain value before we updated. Why do they now lose some of that value simply because we now have one more post on our blogs? Shouldn't our latest post simply add value to our already-existing links since we haven't actually lost any links and have gained a post? That, in my view, would be equitable.


Which Is It, Technorati? Is It Good to Update Often or Isn't It?

Personally, I tend to question the value of a blog ranking service that makes a blogger afraid to update for fear of losing hard-won ranking--thereby effectively providing a disincentive to update frequently. Is it better to update frequently or not? If so, Technorati needs to reassess its algorithm to stop penalizing bloggers who update frequently without amassing huge numbers of backlinks at the same time.


Reassessment: Are Blog Ranking Services Really Relevant?

Many are reevaluating Google in the wake of the current PR fiasco whereby bloggers have had their PR lowered--to as little as 0 (or no PR) in many cases--for so-called link-selling, causing a widespread questioning of the relevance of Google. In the same way, this writer is beginning to reassess the relevance of Technorati. While there's little doubt that many will continue evaluating bloggers based both on Google PR and Technorati ranking--and many by Alexa ranking, as well--which will certainly impact quite a few areas of blogging; I seriously wonder what any of these ranking methods can really mean when they reflect little more than the bias of the particular service whose ranking we happen to be checking.


What Do You Think? Should We Care About Technorati or Other Rankings?

Is Technorati relevant? What about Google? And Alexa? What do you think? If our Technorati ranking or authority drop, should we care? Should we be concerned if Google decides to "steal"--or has already "stolen"--our hard-earned page rank? (I know it's theirs to give and take away, since they gave it in the first place; but we did, after all, work hard for it.) Should we care that our Alexa ranking is based only on one segment of traffic to our sites?

If you have any insight or comments on any of these ranking services, we'd be very interested to hear your thoughts. If you have more to say on the issue than can be conveniently addressed in a comment and would rather write a post about it on your blog, please let us know in a comment and leave us a link to your post. We'd love to read it!

Looking forward to hearing your views,
Jeanne

Google Cleans House: Makes Unprecedented PR Cuts

Much has been written lately about the recent dramatic decrease in the Google page rank of a number of blogs--many of which are quite influential members of the blogosphere which have long enjoyed high PR. There's been a great deal of speculation as to why these blogs have fallen out of favor--or at least have been somewhat devalued--in the estimation of Google; and many believe that they are being penalized for so-called link-selling.


The Heart of the Issue: Is Google Right to Lower Blog PR for Sponsored Posts?

The question of whether Google has in fact lowered the PR of these blogs because of paid posting, and if so, what should be done about it is an incredibly intriguing one; and, were it not so critical to the success of the affected bloggers, it would be a fascinating intellectual exercise to ponder and speculate about the issue. But, I personally would much rather get to the heart of the matter. As I see it, the point isn't whether or not we bloggers need to stop writing sponsored content containing links to the sponsors' websites or begin hiding the fact that we do write such content in order to protect ourselves from the wrath of Google (as many are advising us to do), but whether or not Google is right in the first place to lower a blog's PR for writing sponsored content (if this is indeed the reason for the recent PR penalties).


The Real Question: Does Sponsored Content Equal Link-Selling?

The real question is, "Does sponsored content constitute link-selling?" I would submit to you that it doesn't. Writing ad copy--and being paid to do so--has always been a legitimate and respected way for a writer to earn income; and today it's no different, despite the fact that links have now become a natural part of that ad copy. With the advent of the internet and the resultant necessity for the modern business to develop a web presence, company websites have simply become the norm. It naturally follows, then, that any ad copy written today--whether online or off, whether posted to a website or a blog--would contain a link to the company's website. That's a given. It goes without saying--or at least it should.


My View: Irrelevant, Disembodied Links vs. Relevant Content-Rich Posts That Include Links

In my view, link-selling would be offering to post disembodied links to a website or blog--links which have nothing to do with their surrounding content--at a price-per-link. I do not consider carefully-placed links, which are seamlessly integrated into the body of a well-written review, opinion, or even outright advertisement about a company, website, product, or service, to be paid links. But, of course, that's just my view.

What do you think?

Eagerly awaiting your thoughts,
Jeanne

Note: I should add here that the views expressed above represent my opinion where blogs which have a main purpose other than advertising are concerned. These views do not extend to blogs which have been created for the sole purpose of earning money through advertising, but only to blogs which contain a significant amount of other helpful, quality content which is merely supplemented by sponsored posts.

Tagged for Amy's Meme: An Extra Hour a Day to Write

In honor of the end of Daylight Saving Time, Amy Derby at Write-from-home.com, has tagged me for her "If You Had An Extra Hour Each Day, What Would You Write?" meme. You'll find it on her Write-from-home Blog.


Writing Projects I Would Undertake With My Extra Hour

Though I'm a few days late for the actual end of Daylight Saving Time--since I didn't have an extra hour a day to get all my work done--I will list the 10 things I'd love to have an extra hour to write. Here goes!

1. I'd love to have more time to e-mail my sisters more often. I get so wrapped up in my work at times that I don't get around to answering their e-mails for days sometimes, which I always feel really bad about.

2. I would write an extra blog post or two so that, whenever I became super busy, I wouldn't have to worry about not being able to post or deal with the stress of knowing that my Technorati ranking could take another nose dive as a result. (See Preferred Posting Frequency and Technorati Ranking, if you haven't yet read about my experience.)

3. I'd answer more ads from writing job sites that I never seem to manage to get to because I'm always so busy writing and researching articles and blog posts.

4. I'd write more articles in response to public requests at Constant-Content.com, where I sell a lot of my work, knowing that, due to the quality of my writing, I have a good chance of having my article chosen among all the submissions (as just happened today).

5. I'd comment more on my favorite blogs, as well as on other great blogs I discover during my travels through the blogosphere but often don't have time to leave comments on.

6. I'd make a special effort to go through all the blog communities I've joined at MyBlogLog and leave messages for the blog owners and/or visit the ones I may have forgotten about and leave comments.

7. I'd visit the blogs in my RSS feed reader that are less-frequently visited by me and leave comments.

8. I'd write more Christian devotions and other inspirational pieces.

9. I'd try my hand at various different forms of writing that I haven't tried before but know I'd be able to master with a little research and practice.

10. I'd write one or more articles that encourage writers to value themselves and their talents highly enough to boldly ask what their work is worth, rather than always settling for the pittances that so many want to pay them, while remaining flexible and willing to negotiate to a reasonable extent when necessary. (At the same time, I would advise them to be generous with their talents and willing to donate them to worthy causes that they believe in when they feel called--as opposed to pressured--to do so.)


Do I Already Have an Extra Hour a Day to Write? Do You?

Well, there you have it! Those are the things I'd like to write during my extra hour were I lucky enough to have one each day. But, you know, this meme has just got me thinking: Maybe I can carve out an extra hour for myself each day by using my time wisely and not wasting so much of it on trifles, by prioritizing and organizing my tasks, and by refusing to engage in procrastination when I have a project to complete. If I were to do that, I'd be able to actually write the 10 things I've only speculated about in this post.

Hmmm...That definitely gives me some food for thought! (Thanks, Amy!)

How about you! What would you do with an extra hour each day to spend on your writing? And how could you go about creating that extra hour for yourself and your pet projects as often as possible?

Pensively,
Jeanne

Posting Frequency: A Timely Topic

I've been meaning to tackle the topic of posting frequency for quite some time. And since my posts have been spaced a bit farther apart of late than they had been previously, I think this would be the perfect time to broach the subject.

The sparseness of my most recent posts was not entirely intentional, however. I've actually been fighting a very nasty cold, which has had me down for the count. Though I was unable to get out of my regular writing assignments and was thus forced to brave a few projects anyway, I've rarely found anything as tough to do and, at its worst stage, the battle left me with not an ounce of energy left for blogging.


Too Much of a Good Thing

It's funny the way things happen, sometimes. I'd just become convinced that it was better to post slightly less often, because posting daily--and particularly posting more than once a day--causes posts to move down the page and out of sight before many readers have had a chance to read them, only to disappear into the "archival abyss." Well, I no sooner decided to try posting every few days, to give my readers more time to "discover" my posts, than I ended up with these longer, unplanned posting delays which were much more than I'd bargained for. But I learned a great lesson from them that I probably wouldn't have learned any other way, and I'd like to share it with you.


Technorati Is Watching!

Even mildly protracted delays in posting can negatively impact Technorati ranking. (I hadn't expected this, though perhaps I should have, since it had been about five days since my last post.) When I checked my ranking, I was in for a shock; it had fallen by over 10,000 points in a single day!

Prior to that very discouraging day, I'd been quite happy with my steadily rising ranking. In fact, I was one proud blogger the day I broke the Technorati 50,000 (9/13/07) and, as I watched that number gradually decrease, my happiness gradually increased.

But, as a result of my five-day blogging "vacation," my ranking dropped from a beautiful 43,331, on 10/9, to an absolutely horrifying 54,000 +, on 10/10! (I didn't manage to copy down the exact number before it changed again on 10/12 [for the better this time, I'm happy to say]. I must have been too shocked and disappointed to write the entire number down, as I usually do.)

My ranking now stands at a dismal 53,658. (And, yes, sadly, I must now break 50,000 all over again. I wonder what it will feel like the second time around. Not quite as satisfying, I suspect.)


Lost Ground and a Lesson Learned

On that depressing day (10/10), I lost all the ground I'd so patiently and painstakingly gained. It had taken close to a month to move from a ranking of 50,867 to 43,331 (9/11-10/9), and I literally lost it all in one day.

The moral of this story is that, while you may, to some extent, be free to determine your preferred posting frequency, if you care at all about--and are in fact attempting to build--your Technorati ranking, Technorati definitely has a say in the matter. And, while I still tend to believe that posting one substantial post every few days may in fact be best (unless your blog is new and has little content), it probably isn't wise to go beyond one post every three days, if it can be avoided, and certainly not beyond one every four days, if you have a choice. It isn't worth the risk.


"Blog Reactions": Technorati's Other Ranking Criteria

Bear in mind, before you worry too much when you're too busy or otherwise unable to post as often as usual, that Technorati ranking is based on a combination of posting frequency and backlinks. It may very well be that my super busy schedule prior to my illness, which prevented me from visiting and commenting on as many blogs as I usually do, causing me to have fewer Technorati "Blog Reactions," was the sole reason that five days became the straw that broke the back of my Technorati ranking. Had I been consistently commenting on other blogs and drawing links back to my site, my ranking might not have dropped as much after a five-day break between posts. Only Technorati knows for sure.


What Are Your Views on Posting Frequency?

I'd be very interested to know the views of my readers on what you consider to be the optimal posting frequency. Do you think a blogger should post daily? More than once a day? Once every few days? (I hope I haven't unduly frightened anyone with Technorati's incredible power of persuasion to help us bloggers determine our posting schedules. But it's imperative that we take Technorati into consideration when making such decisions, as I learned the hard way.)


My View: Blogger Burnout and Too-Frequent Posting

I believe every blogger must decide for him/herself what works best, since there are so many variables. But I also believe that many bloggers feel tied to a daily posting schedule, whether they like it or not, because they feel that's the only way to be successful at blogging. This may be one reason why so many bloggers burn out so soon.

Blogging should be something we enjoy--and not a chore. And we really needn't worry that our success is dependent on daily blogging, because I've discovered that my readership is rising despite the fact that I'm no longer posting every day. I believe that if we post quality content, consistently giving our readers value, as our blogs mature and our store of content grows, our readership will grow with it.

What do you think?

Do You Suffer from Feed-Reader Overload?

I'm wondering how many of my readers subscribe to RSS feeds and how well that actually works out for you (i.e., are you able to keep up with your feed reading or does the number of posts waiting to be read simply keep building and building until you wonder whether some terrible computer disaster might be imminent due to feed-reader overload)?

Personally, I find that the busier I get--and I've been quite busy of late--the less time I have to read my feeds (which I do feel bad about, because the blogs whose feeds I've subscribed to have lots of fantastic info that I definitely want to keep up with). Unfortunately, it appears that, with feed readers, as with anything else, good intentions aren't enough. As I watch the number of posts in my reader climb at an alarming rate, I begin to feel overwhelmed and wonder why I ever got myself into this position in the first place.


Reading Feeds vs. Visiting Blogs

What ever happened to the good "old-fashioned" practice of simply visiting the blogs we like to read--which we must ultimately do anyway should we decide we'd like to read, respond to, or leave our own original comments. Perhaps I'm less tech savvy than I should be; or perhaps it's simply that once you let the posts in your feed reader build up, you tend to procrastinate further because the job of reading, sorting, or even scanning just seems too formidable to tackle; or, it could just be that you should never sign up for RSS feeds in the first place unless you're prepared to keep up with your feed reading on a more-or-less daily basis.

One of the reasons I originally decided to try RSS feeds was to keep track of all the blogs I wanted to read regularly--rather than using bookmarks, because frankly I've got too many of those, too. I thought it would be easier to have these blogs all in one place--and in one way, it is. But, I must admit that I often find myself not even wanting to go to my feed reader, because there's so much there waiting to be read that I hardly know where to begin!


RSS Feed Management: There's Got to Be a Trick to It!

RSS feed management is proving to be a difficult proposition--at least to this feed reader. Perhaps there are some tricks/techniques I'm unaware of. (Let me reword that: No doubt there are some tricks/techniques I'm unaware of.) Nevertheless, the more full my writing schedule becomes, the less time I have for reading/commenting on other blogs--though I truly want to find an efficient way to fit this into my schedule because building and maintaining good relationships with other bloggers is very important to me. Theoretically, at least, a feed reader should make it easier for me to keep up on the latest happenings at my favorite blogs.

Perhaps I simply need to begin thinking of my feed reader as my servant rather than my master. It's there for my convenience--to make life easier for me--and not to command my loyalty or make me feel guilty every time I neglect to do its "bidding".

What experiences have you had with your feed reader? Have you mastered RSS feed management? Have any tricks or techniques that might make feed management easier for the rest of us? Any words of encouragement or commiseration with those of us who are drowning in RSS feed content?

Awaiting your feedback,
Jeanne

I'm taking a simple survey with only one question: Has any current Orble blogger ever received the Blogging Scholarship?

Several of you have answered already, in response to my post about MetaFilter.Com, but just thought that maybe a few others might want to respond, as well, and perhaps were simply unaware that the question had been asked.

Would love to hear from anyone who has any input on this subject--but especially anyone who may have actually received one of these scholarships at one time or another. (I must admit, I'm beginning to feel that they might just be a figment of someone's imagination!)

Please, someone, prove me wrong!

Hopefully yours,

While browsing the Web today, I happened across a discussion on MetaFilter.Com which questioned the legitimacy of Orble.Com as a blog hosting site. (Why not pop in over there and have a look?)

I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to set the record straight. However, when I attempted to sign up in order to leave my comments on that particular thread, I was informed that, due to the costs involved in keeping up the site, there would be a $5 fee to join.

Now, I am by no means cheap. In fact, most people who know me would say I'm quite the opposite. But, somehow it just didn't seem right to be required to pay for the privilege of simply leaving a comment. I therefore decided to send a message to the administrators of the site, via their "Contact Us" link, instead. In it, I addressed some of the specific points brought up in the discussion (originally posted sometime in March).

I thought it only fair to put in a good word for Orble. After all, I've had a great experience blogging at Orble.Com, and its gotten even better since they've given me my own domain (almost a week ago). I have no idea what will come of it. Perhaps they'll simply ignore me, since I didn't pay the signup fee. Perhaps they'll respond. This is something that only time will tell. But I do know one thing: They'd have a lot more trouble ignoring all of us--don't ya think?

'Nuff said!
