Page Rank 3

My site recently got upgraded to Google PageRank 3. I got a PR 2 a few months after I started blogging. It took about 9 months to get to PR 3. I think the largest inbound links have come from Social Bookmarking site such Stumbleupon, Digg, Reddit, del.icio.us, Mixx, Technorati, and Propeller.

When I write a new article worthy of sharing, I submitted the article to the Social Bookmarking site and share it with my contacts that particular social bookmarking site. It helps generate traffic and promote readership for my blog. My advise is to build a relationship with other bloggers with similar interest. Not only you will make new friends, you will also build readership to your blog and supporter for your articles on the social bookmarking site.

Although Page Rank is calculated based on the inbound links to your site, building traffic is ultimately the key success. After all, before someone can link to your site, they need to know that your site exist.

My traffic has also come from Social Networking site such as Facebook, Friendster, and Twitter. I use the note feature on facebook to import my feed. When I write a new article, the note will import my latest article and display it on my Mini Feed; and subsequently being displayed on my friend’s News Feed.

As for friendster, I use the shout feature to promote my new article. When I update the shout with my new article, my profile will be tagged as recently updated on my friend’s list and it shows what is updated.
