A couple of days ago, I completed my regular check of seeing where my web and blog sites were in the Google page-ranking, number of backlinks, and where they get listed in the Google search pages for particular keyword phrases.
For one of my sites, www.thedigitalarchices.com, I had to look twice!
Was I wearing my glasses? Something wrong with my eyesight!
There it was in plain daylight a Google page rank 3! But… but… but… the site is only 3 weeks old! My immediate thoughts: they have made a mistake. It’s not April Fools, it is?
Google wouldn’t do that would they after all who are we in Googleland?
I contacted my partner for this particular website. She couldn’t believe it, either!
“Wonder if it’s a record?” she said.
Just 4 weeks ago, a good friend of mine, Anja Merret (www.pinkblocks.com fame) got together and came up with an idea to combine our key skills.
You see, I am not a brilliant writer, whereas Anja is. And Anja is not at all Internet technical, where as I am.
We had worked together for a while before this though. I asked Anja to write some blog postings for me and in return I built and updated her blog sites.
It worked well.
It also meant that we were using our key strengths and I could concentrate and use my time on making my own products.
So, as I said, 4 weeks ago we came up with the idea of combining our skills and start offering an Article Writing Service for people like me! Using Skype messaging, we decided upon the game plan, the process, the products and the website name, www.thedigitalarchives.com.
Within a few days we were ready to knuckle down and start working. The design, the sales pages, the offers, the prices, the products, the traffic plan were brainstormed and put together in a short period.
Anja writing and writing and writing. And me, creating websites and backlinks.
And the results, 3 weeks later:
Google Page Rank 3
500 backlinks
Not bad, eh!
If you want to check your Google Page Rank, simply add the Goolge Task Bar or you can use the Google PageRank Lookup site.
Andrew has extensive knowledge about internet marketing, SEO and building web sites/blogs. His course explained everything in an easy to understand way and I now have a web site that is generating me new clients and producing income from internet product sales.

My blog had a PR of 3 after about a month, actually 2 blogs that I set up at the same time. Now one of those 2 is up to a 5 and the other down to a 0.
Never could figure how it got to a 0 from 3, but I suppose there is no rhyme or reason, from the eyes of a simple mortal like me, on how Google works.

PR5 – way to go!
Excellent stuff, Richard.
3 to 0 is a bit strange, though.
Who knows the strange workings of Google?

Cheers.
