Blogger Buzz in a recent post, asked:
Why do you blog? I keep this blog to pass time and mainly because, next to reading, I love writing and playing about with words; and, as there is very little information in English on
Hadhramaut, why not write on whatever little I have on it? It is very encouraging knowing that, now, many visit this site. Being a self-learned computer user, I read much on Internet and Web resources; always trying to find out more on this most interesting and powerful of technologies. Once in a while, I have fun testing this site on the few testing tools available; considering my very limited resources on 'Web' and computer tech, I am very surprised, at times, when this blog does well; or better, on these tools, than some of the sites managed by those whom I believe are tech savvy. Try using these tools and testing your site; compare the scores with those of other sites, you too might have fun. And might be surprised.
Start by checking your sites Google Page Rank
here. Google analyses 'page ranks' on its site, every 3 months; your sites rank, might change every now and then. A site's popularity does not effect what 'rank' a site has. I have been surprised that - the more popular and more visited this blog gets, the lower the rank is. Three years ago, this blog scored 5/10, then it was lowered to 4/10; a few days ago with
Google's latest update - it was at 3/10. Now, it has gone up to 4/10 again. Did you know that, now, Facebook is at 10/10; higher than Google's 9/10? This is temporary: Google will get on top - after-all, it is
they who manage the '
algorithm' testing and ranking of sites. Yahoo is 9/10 and Bing is 8/10. Through testing blogs from varying platforms, I have realized, for some reason that I do not understand, that - Wordpress hosted sites always have higher rankings and scores. Still, I am very comfortable using Blogger.
