John Chow dot Com – PageRank 6

Build Your Online Business Now

Google started their PageRank update yesterday and it looks like this blog is jumping two spots – from PR4 to PR6! A check of 72 Google data centers shows John Chow dot Com at PR6 with 19 of them. Updates to the remaining data centers should be complete in the next few days.

The higher PageRank just made this blog a lot more valuable for me and a lot more expensive for advertisers. It will be interesting to see what Text Link Ads will price me at. It already cost $200 a month for a link on this blog. There is one link spot available at the current price. If you hurry, you may get it before TLA increases the price ($100 coupon here). I can also see competition heat up for the Top Commentators spot. Getting a site wide back link from a PR6 blog just for commenting will be worth the effort for many webmasters.

My ReviewMe price will be going to $400 next month. If you want a review at the current price of $300, make sure you get your order in before the end of this month. Speaking of reviews, blogs that reviewed my blog a long time ago might consider doing a new one. Your review will be linked like always, but this time it’ll be a PR6 link. :)

What is your new PageRank? Was Google good to you or did they slapped you? I imagine many sites will be applying to Text Link Ads in the next few days.

I am still at a zero, but my site is ready to shoot right on up! :mrgreen:

Congrats on a 6!

I too got a PR of 4, and my blog is less than 3 months old! :smile:

And the best part is I still did not review this blog! :twisted:

Dang dude... Your site is going to get quite expensive in the next few weeks. Good Luck in your endeavors, and I'll expect you to be making over $150,000 a year very soon. :twisted:

Big day for me: My Cincinnati Photography blog went from a PR0 to a PR3 today, with a few of the individual article pages going to a PR4! Thanks for the great articles, John! :cool:

Pagerank updated Finally check your final pagerank now..i got PR 5 :cool:

wow, congratulation. I get 4 .... but looking forward for 5 or 6 in the next update :grin:

like I've said some time ago in another blog, earning 100 links from other sites to your blog is hard work.

But when the links are already more than a thousand... 10,000 or even more and a PR6 rank is inevitable.

PR isnt everything...

for people who wants to earn from advertisements and publishing them, PR is everything. It determines how many people look into your page.

If you don't think so, you shouldn't even be here in this post and in this site in the first place.

now my site PR5, last was 4, I wish my pr will jump like yours... but 5 is ok i think..! next google update must be pr6 just same like your blog.. :)

My blog went from a pr1 to a pr4 and my traffic is up up and away...nothing like yours but I get about 100-120 more visitors per hour now!

My site is PR5 :lol:

I wonder who would pay the first $400 for a ReviewMe review...can you let us know, John? :twisted:

you are getting richer and richer.... :evil:

Well I think my PR is still 0 :cry:

I really must try and fix this!

I am waiting for a pagerank on my site, I am sure it will take a few months since I have just started this little venture. :twisted:

congrats on your pr6. my site in now pr 4 :D

Absolute winner John! My blog also went from PR2 to PR3..This is good news since it was only set up 4 months ago and only have less than 20 postings.. wee haa :lol:

Congrats John ... i'm shocked you are moving so fast up the ladder ... that Linking Promotion is really paying off now!

Congrats on your new PR John! My blog didn't change, still PR7. (PR8 would be great though :smile: )

The more link you get, the higher you, believe me, grab more pr 5 or pr6 links, you will show will get pr 5 too!

One of my sites is jumping from PR0 to PR6.

me got PR 3 :roll: let's c how much I can improve it :twisted:

I am finally free of 'having' to be a top commentator! Now that the update has given me a PR4 I can wait till next time :mrgreen:

Why? Now you could aim for a PR6!

he he
me too getting a Page rank 5 this google PR update... http://www.johnchow.com/wp-includes/images/smilies...
:smile:

Great article my website blog at www.GatherSuccess.com just got PR3 to PR4 today! Cant wait for the reviewme price to increase too =)

Hi to all

I was waiting for this update eagerly and I knew it would be taking place soon.
I just built a blog on Feburary 27th and three months later , I have got a pagerank of 3 :lol:
Not bad :!:
What you say ?

Well this is fun.... The domain I used to use www.tingram.ca has now a PR of 5 where as my current domain www.tyleringram.com is still at a PR of 0 ;)

tingram.ca went from PR 1 to PR 5, thats a nice little job for something I haven't played with in more than a month.

After this pagerank update my article directory went from pagerank 0 to 4 ;) A good start I'd say!

Good going John, congrats on PR jump.
This is not a pleasent update for me. not many of sites moved up..but still none of them went down either :lol:

So many of you guys are splitting your page rank up between the www.domain.com and domain.com as well as /index.html if you 301 redirect your domains and pages to the one point it concentrates the pagerank at 1 spot rather than spread it out over 4 different pages.

If your not sure what I mean check www.johnchow.com/index.php you will see that it doesn't have any pr yet www.johnchow.com does on some sites you will see the index.php has a page rank different to the main domain. At the moment what ever pr is going to index.php on johns site isn't being concentrated onto the main domain.

Yes, It takes a while to sort this out! But splitting it isn't a good idea. I fixed mine ages ago, but I noted a couple of websites with split prs and the less used one had a better ranking!

Go figure.

Yeah Investorblogger I used to have www.domain.com a pr4 domain.com a pr3 and www.domain.com/index.php a pr1 and domain.com/index.php a pr0 once I 301 all of them to www.domain.com my pr at the next update went to a pr6 traffic trippled and profits went up. Not bad for 4 lines of code.

Thanks. I 301 the non WWW into the WWW domain but haven't thought about doing the index.php. I figure no one ever links to me using johnchow.com/index.php. It would always be johnchow.com or www.johnchow.com

John, I know other people have probably told you this but one of the main flaws with wordpress is they don't allow for each page to have a unique meta description. I now it would be a lot of hard work but using a plugin that allows you to add unique meta descriptions to your blog would also increase the traffic flow from your pages. I have used Add-Meta-Tags on a few blogs and with each install after a small period of time usually 6 or 7 days I have noticed large increases into the old archives of the blogs.

I meant to say large increases of traffic to my blogs.

We sell SKINS!! wheres our page rank? Time to get to work. Thank you
