I just noticed when checking the site that Google has finally assigned PageRank for the site. We are now a PageRank 4, a very respectable number for a blog that has been running for less than a month.

If you don’t know what PageRank is, PageRank is a number between 1-10 assigned to your site which classes how authorative your site is. The higher the PageRank, the better. PageRank is actually assigned to every page on your website. Usually your home page will have the highest PageRank, as in our case where our homepage is a 4 but a lot of our internal pages have been assigned a PageRank of 2.

Given the fact we’ve been assigned PageRank and do offer “do follow”, it makes it a no brainer for somebody link building to participate in the comments on this site!!

During the week I made a change to the blog. Now we offer do follow links to the comments. Do follow links will pass PR to your link which will help you in search engine rankings.

Why did I make this change?

Well simply put I thought  the people that get involved in the blog and offer their opinions should be rewarded. Am I afraid of the increase in spam? No I moderate all the comments of this blog so spam won’t get through. If you have something you want to say and it’s relevant, even if its negative, it will be posted. The only thing I don’t want to see is keyword stuffed names!
