Google Pagerank Update

Apparently my personal blog is 4/10. I get the impression I should feel quite pleased with that... now, if only I knew how I did it and could prepare to do the same with my business site.

i get an average hit of 90 a day through the month with a PR of 1, so damn right you should be chuffed! Good stuff Mary!

This is actually really interesting stuff... according to SiteMeter I average about 40-50 hits per day, which isn't that many, but I have about 20 long-term subscribers through Google friend connect which probably helps. It also looks like being linked to by the BBC helps.

It's made it that much more tempting to link personal and business, though. :s

Oh dear, I managed a mighty 2 out of 10...par for the course right now.

Remember when it comes to the crunch, what really counts is visits, and for a business site, unique visits. If its egg sucking time, then tell me to wind me neck in but lots of people get blown away with hits (unless they classing hits as visits).

Worse offenders are server logs, as they include spider traffic, so can really distort the picture. Analytic packages like Googles and similar give a much realistic picture, as well as a wealth of marketing info.

On average for us, each unique visit is made up of approx 8 hits (as different components of the page load). Unfortunatley a lot of our competitors quote hits instead of visits as it's a much sexier number, and gives the illusion of high traffic

PR4 for a blog is great, and you are prob getting link juice passed on from high PR sites linking to you. But now I'm starting to sound like a PR lemming, so will shut up!

No egg-sucking here, not even the chocolate ones... I only got sitemeter when my trolls progressed from ignorable insults to scary threats and I needed to see where they were coming from, I've never actually done any analysis of my blog.

I hadn't realised that there was a difference between visits and hits, but you're quite right - the 40-50 per day is visits, the number of page views is just under double that.

Sorry. I'm on a huge "learning is fun!" kick at the moment and you guys are just feeding it.

I get average 50 hits a day, and consdiring im in what i would call a minority product im happy with that and a page rank of 1/10.

I must admit like alot here im new to this and i would guess that 99% of the great guys on this forum are here because the made and prepared there own sites, and hopefully picking up business along the way.

So we competing against the big boys in our chosen proffesions who have the big cheque book and can get the pro's do it all for them.

So i have to say a big well done to all you guys, for the sites you created, the time and effort you have put in. We all know how many hours its takes.

I dropped down from page one of google to top of page 2, now i have moved up to 3 from bottom of page one. Im chuffed to bits. I know its the help of you guys, the forum. My competitor with the big cheque book is no where to be seen

I ranked 1/10 but in all honesty I don't know what that means!
