I’d expect nothing more Curmudgeon….

The whole PR thing can get wearing at times, and I just began to think – ‘Am I supposed to be blogging or chasing PR?’

There’s a commercial that runs for a bank in Chicago about a guy who is sooooo stupid he keeps asking what FICA means on his pay stub — and then the office manager tries to straighten him out on what a mortgage is. So, he asks, “do I want a loan with lots of points or only a few?”

I’m like that with Page Ranks. I guess bigger is better here — but some of the rankings must go on a golf score system (lower the better).

And I know I’ve complained about this before, but sometimes when I access my own blog on my work machine it’s a Page Rank 4 — but when I sign on at home the same blog is a Page Rank 0. Which confuses me endlessly.

But — I’d rather have a low page rank than a rank page….

Gosh, that was a long way round for such a weak punchline, wasn’t it?

Cheers guys, I’m glad it’s not just me.

This post was prompted around the time I was reading yet more advice about never linking to anyone because of your page rank, and I just thought ‘This doesn’t sound like much fun’.

I may end up a Page Rank 10, it may be more like a PR1, but I intend to get there by being me, and linking to who I feel like, and writing about what I want.

Should I add ‘So there!’ ?

Excellent post!

There are certain things that the SEO people tell you that you need to do to make this a career. But by far the majority of us are quite obviously doing this for fun.

A quick tour around wordpress.com or Blogger will demonstrate this to anyone who doesn’t believe it.

And if a blogger is in a quandary on what to blog then ask a friend to provide an article. It doesn’t hurt to ask for help.

Thanks for the nod, Chris, my sentiments exactly. You noticed when I threw away some advice I didn’t agree with. I’m getting ready to throw away some more advice that I don’t agree with. My page rank went down for Google by following advice that should have helped it go up. Would it go back up? I don’t know and I don’t care. Consider the experiment over.
