Congrats!

I agree with you – I don’t follow PR that much at all. I’ve seen low PR sites rank high in SERPs…and if you spend too much time analyzing it, you just end up a wee bit…ahem….batty.

Enjoy, Barbara

Hey that’s cool. Yeah I noticed my blog went from 3 to 4. It’s nice to see when you don’t really concentrate on something but yet you’re still having a positive effect.

Nice work and it’s been my pleasure coming here chatting.

Nice work, Pen Men. I can see the googlebots cruising through every blog on the web going “Oh yeah, there’s that James guy again.” Too bad links on blog comments are generally no-follow. Otherwise, the Pen Men would break the system. The google gods would have to sit around and think up a special number (like pi) for James.

Well, the algorithms and calculations involve a little more than that, but yeah, inbound links are part of the math that Google uses. It’s not a linear process by any means.

And I suck in math. I’m just happy people like me a little

Congratulations!!! A PR 5 is AWESOME!!!

As for what PR is, PR is a numerical way for Google to express how “important” they think a site is.

A blog earns a PR ranking by achieving incoming links from other websites. Links from sites with a PR 5 are “worth” more in the calculations than incoming links from PR 1 sites.

The fact that this blog has moved up to a PR 5 is totally AWESOME and a sign of the hard work that James does day in and day out!!! (I swear, I see him commenting EVERYWHERE I go!)

James Brown may be the hardest working man in showbiz, but James Chartrand may well be the hardest working blogger on the internet!!! Again, congrats!!!!

I don’t pay much attention to SEO either, but it still leaves a warm fuzzy feeling inside when you see that bit of green go up

Congratulations! It’s definitely well deserved.
