Ideas for Blog Posts When You Are Stuck
I’ve frequently suggested on this blog that blogging can be a great way to not only help your site’s search engine rankings, but also brand yourself as an expert in your field. The problem is, what do you do when you run out of ideas of what to post? It’s tough, and it happens to everyone. Fortunately, I found some suggestions. Manoj Jasra from Search Engine Guide posted 9 Ideas for Blog Posts When You Are Stuck. Some of the suggestions include forming relationships with PR firms to get their news releases, using Google Hot Trends, and writing updates to previous posts that were popular. Good advice!
Google Pagerank Updated – Better Late Than Never
If you visit here frequently, you’ll know I’ve been wondering out loud when the Google pagerank update we expected back in July would finally happen. Well, it appears it finally has. I saw a few notes a few days ago about some sites’ PR changing, and then I got busy. I just noticed tonight that the PR for all of my sites has gone up. Here’s a look:
EndGame Public Relations: Increased from PR3 to PR5
Media Relations and SEO PR Blog: Increased from PR0 to PR5
Startup BizCast Podcast: Increased from PR0 to PR5
GeekLogos Graphics: Increased from PR3 to PR4
So, all in all … I’m obviously pretty happy. I still wonder what the heck took so long with the update. Maybe Google will let us know once it’s done. If your site hasn’t updated yet, it may still happen. The updates usually take a couple of weeks before they’re complete.
