After two months of blog posting and waiting anxiously for Google pagerank update,Finally blogote got some value! Obviously we started with a zero pagerank but we all know things keep changing.As a fact,We earned ourselves a Pagerank 2 which brings a big smile on our face!
Most of the webmasters consider Google pagerank to have no value but when it comes to private adveritsement (head over to forums) people sell ads for $$ which mainly depends on the pagerank.For example a pagerank 4 blog can expect 10$-20$ per ad banner placed on there blog for one month.
Google toolbar is updated once in 3 months.Though pagerank 2 seems to be nothing for other Big bloggers but we are happy to have atleast something to brag about…
Let me know about your pagerank change and does it really effect your blog identity ?
Google are working on various new projects and are bringing the Internet to a newer heights.Google has become a source of knowledge for Internet savvy people.Consider in making money with adsense or affiliate program,keyword research tools or search engine,they have experimented and brought in some beneficial service to people.Yet again,here is another creation of Google called as Knol.
Google Knol can be considered as a Wikipedia,It is in public beta now and is has hundreds of articles written already.The content and articles are submitted by users,just like wikipedia.Google defines Knol as user generated content and consider it as a unit of knowledge.Google is hoping that the most popular Knol pages will rise naturally through the search results and hopefully their will be no Google manipulating results made especially for Knol.
Google have a tactics to promote knol by encouraging users to submit content and paying them money for writing the articles by using Google adsense placement alongside their contributed content.Knol also focuses on preserving ownership of articles and we have to wait and see how this promotion emerges out.
