Hockey, Google PageRank and Everything in Between

So I was just thinking about how I have yet to write anything about development… well, since I started this blog really.  I planned to come and write about how development has been non-existent, etc, etc.

Looking at my Alexa stats for puckwise.com, I thought… “hmm… I have a few other domains laying around, i wonder how they’re doing?”.  So i scurried on over to one of my previous projects which was put on hold and/or turned into the PuckWise project – NHL Fantasy Guide (myfantasyguide.com).

Much to my surprise, what was once a 1/10 Google PR, is now a 3/10!  What is PR? PageRank! Google uses PR to determine how high you show up in a search result.  So basically when someone now types in “NHL Fantasy Guide”, they get MyFantasyGuide.com as the second hit!  Neat huh?

So what else can you get from PR?  Well now you become valuable!  So anyone who is familiar with SEO will know that incoming links from higher ranking PR sights will increase your own PR, so partaking in link exchanges, advertising revenue, etc, now become a possibility!

What does this all mean?  Probably nothing major at the moment.  But having a 3/10 hockey site is certainly a good start if I plan to continue down this road.  At the worst, this provides some leverage and hopefully some organic traffic once the site (now possibly SITES) are complete, or close to it.

Now I can sit back and wait for the dollars to roll in… just sit… and wait… for the dollars… yup…
