happy birthday Kwan! John that is very nice that you putting the avatars of the commentators. This might be one more way for more people to visit the blog. Also post the good food pictures. they always look so good

[...] bloggers have reported that their PR has bounced back from the initial plunge and are quite happy about it, even though [...]

damn, i was just about to get the “sofa”! (only Chinese could understand this one)

You invented custom blog designs? Quite an accomplishment…

PR is changing again for a number of sites. Seems google realised a screw up somewhere by leaking that bad boy code

Happy Birthday Michael Kwan! At 25 you are only half way to 50 so have plenty of fun for the next few years

Yay Zac must have attempted to upgrade his WP, hope he fixes everything really soon.

And yeah I LOVE Tyler’s header and the cartoon/logo it is so unique and clean, as for eMonetize and BCM it was not hard to figure who has designed it since the header loaded after all, they all have beautiful new designs.

todays one of the happiest day of my life , my blog’s 6 months old and i have the SAME PAGE RANK AS JOHN CHOW , i am totally lovin the new PR Algorithm

Is it me or are all the Unique Blog Designed blogs, ummm, not unique!!! John’s looks a little different than the rest, but they are look very similar. The grayish headers, the same misaligned rows/columns, and the three column headers, it’s all the same!!

I think I may be hating on Unique Blog Designs next.

I liked when the avatars linked to MyBlogLog instead. That way I could add the people more easily.

Loved the new algorithm. I needed that laugh today.

Yeah, I completely agree with the new algorithm, it seems like 20 of my blogs now have just random PageRank.

My blog is a year old and I got a PR5….I’m thrilled….hey John, need a link?

I wonder how many people think that code is actually serious…

eeeh this “algorithm” you have looks very very fake. First of all why would it be written in php?

Secondly, why does it create a new random pagerank? rand() is a function to generate a random integer.

$newpagerank=rand(0, 10);
} else {
$newpagerank=rand(0, $pagerank);
}

this in plain english would be.
new pagerank = random number between 0 and 10.
else
new pagerank = random number between 0 and your current one.

So if a domain isn’t in that spammer list, you basically could get any given pagerank between 0 and 10.
This just looks fishy, I strongly doubt that this is the algorithm, and instead some kid through together and fooled a bunch of people that it’s a part of the almighty algorithm.

Chow, you’re making a total fool of yourself. “Looking at the codes, things become a lot clearer”.

Krillz, so true.

Blogs for Money is not even a year old and it got a Page Rank of 5. I think that quite good.

google maintenance my page rank

John,

I enjoy reading your blog; that tactics, strategies, and opportunities you present are great. I was a little disappointed that you linked to a blog like bcm…this post explains how to pirate content and profit from it:

Everyone has different morals, true, but I’m hoping you’ll remain one of the “good guys”, and not help to support this kind of sketchiness…
Still a loyal reader

lol, I honestly can’t believe people take such digs seriously! The funniest incident I remember is that of Adsense Tracker starting the furore about PageRate - it was all over the WWW, now comes this!

Guys, take a break - its just for fun!

Very confused now. Do we take this seriously or not??

Sheesh….some of your readers are awfully slow… apparently their train of thought has yet to dock at the station.
The code was a joke people.
-Raymond

i say john,please don’t get too emotional.we know that you are good..very good.pagerank is simply just secondary compared to the elusive one.Traffic!

Hmmm don’t know if that’s the algo..But this new algo, give my blog PR3 from PR 0 i only realize about it when my reader tell me that.

at the same time my photography also get PR2 thou hardly to update that blog weird but Hmmmmmmm

haha….I tot is [current PR] - 2

Oh, the video is funny because they talk a lot of rubbish.

It took away my stress.

I think that the algorithm is kinda cool provides an insight on how it works

The most enjoyable part of the post is the video. I am now well prepared for any zombie!

Michael, happy birthday mister ReviewMe

I hope PR code is fake, because it is primitive. Google is too big to change algorithm just for few blogs.

google sucks

I still think Googles PR is getting better and better…
just backlinks from irrelevant sites should definitively not be a key factor to have a high PR.

If John had actually gotten realleaked code, he probably would have blogged/bragged about it.
On second thought, tried to monetize it.
He would not have inserted it in one of his ramblings.
Sometimes I despair for humanity.

I definitely prefer the eMonetized blog design. It looks more professional and engaging. The Tyler Cruz design was a little scary for me (I build corporate websites and am a huge neat layout freak) but I thought the caricature cool too. It would look great in the Subscribe to the blog box, just peeking out into the image of the money.

PS. Why are only American dollars represented

john just out of curiosity…i noticed that you still promote algoco. does it make you money? really?
