Mother’s Got A Dot Com

Links, Links

I believe this blogs Technorati authority must have been on a serious regime of very potent diet pills lately. It went up like a rocket with the Big Bang meme, but for a month now, it’s been going down steadily.
I think I know why. My links are “outdated” in Technorati terms - they only count links that are less than 6 months old. So, when the effects of the Big Bang wear off, I’ll be back to scratch, unless someone comes up with another meme equally as effective. (I’m in, by the way, you creative bloggers out there!)
As for Page Rank - this blog is now back on 0, after a stint in the N/A category… I guess that’s an improvement, at least I choose to see it that way. As long as my other blog (where you’ll find that every post has a contextual paid link in it, and loads of weird comments that I can’t be bothered to delete) has a PR of 2, I refuse to take it seriously.
I guess I could be creative and come up with a meme too. I could also get better at commenting on blogs - I know I lurk a lot - and at replying to other peoples comments here. Social bookmarking sites are not my thing - I’m sure it’s wonderful to have 10 000 “friends”, but I prefer having a few that I ~~feel bad about not visiting~~ go and see.

So - I’ll just keep on blogging for my own enjoyment, and if it pays a bill or two per month, it’ll be a bonus. I’ve “met” some wonderful people, and I’m sure there are many more out there. If you catch me lurking on your blog, it’s because I like you…

I feel your pain. It seems that the big G has it in for me despite lots of backlinks and following all the SEO hints I can, I’m doomed to stay a zero. I don’t look at Technorati enough to know what that rank is, but I did notice that my Alexa is down to 90K which is surprising as it hovered at 120K for several months.

Not being a meme follower, I didn’t elect to do the big bang.

Good luck with your search for a higher page rank.

Mine is down about 500 less than it was. I don’t care anymore. I took all that stuff off my sidebar. I just don’t care. Have a great day.

After my page rank got busted back around January, then came back up this summer, I just ignored it. I haven’t checked my Technorati rating in months now either.
I read blogs via my reader and find that I tend to lurk more than ever now. Occasionally, I will comment but sometimes, I just read and absorb -happy to see my favorite bloggers writing whatever it is and I move on to the next poster. Whether I comment or not, to me, is immaterial. If I have you on my blogroll, you are on my reader and I follow you like the stalker I have now become.
Comments are nice, true enough. But I like to think that everyone else is like me, absorbing, busy, no words that come easily to comment sometimes either. Kind of like my neighbor down the street -my friend since early childhood, who I rarely see other than at church, rarely phone unless we need to share/inform each other of something important but still, she’s my bestest friend for all my life.
