When will be the Change of Google PR this Quarter

Every SEO specialist understand that Google change the PR of all sites through the word every 3rd quarter. Last June Google changed the PR a week before the opening of the 2nd quarter of this year.

I still remember when my 3 sites got the PR 4 on that day simultaneously while i still retain one in PR 3. One of the blog rank PR 2 and giving good back links to other unlike the PR 1 site that i have.

Today, the day is already Sept 20, 0 days since the 3rd quarter begin and still i could not find any changes in Google Ranking. I also noticed that sites backlinks are not changing for more than 1 month only.

I am excited because i should get higher PR now since I have almost 300 back links in 1 site. I do believed, SEO specialist everywhere are excited too since Google is already delayed on changes. It seems there are new formula for Google Algol that it took them more than half of the month.

For anyone who noticed any changes of your sites property, you are welcome to comment here.
This is do follow blog so you will not regret it.

Directory Listing

I found another seo related sites that contains relevant article about SEO. First that i found new to this site is a new seo terminology called Microformats which is use by most search engine to organize the SERPs. This is good seo tools for localization of SERPs. According to this site, the microformat pick up the contact us information of your site, name of the peoples, organizations, companies, telephone number and email address.

For all we know, any website with contact us information gets search ranking points to Google because it is consider as legitimate company. According to this blog, using microformat in your site need some coding skills yet they offer a tools which can generate the code so you will not need to hire coders.

If you are interested more on this terms you can visit this site.


Now let me discuss some reason why i posted this article to credit this page or seo sites. The content is king regarding seo tips and they even offer some links to directories. And the most important part is that you can comment with do follows.

I copied the URL they consider as high ranking directory. Here are the list
YellowBook.com, Business.com and DexKnows.com. To give complement in their work, another recommended directory are offered below;

Yahoo, MSN/Live, and MerchantCircle and the title Link Building by Vertical Measures, our listing was #1 on Google for Phoenix link building.

Where to get free back links?

Google set up the blogs into nofollow in order to fight the spammers. Now through reading another SEO specialist blog about dofollow and how to get backlink i learn very important things about free link from Google and Digg. I also realized that commenting by a legitimate person based on the topic either the message is good or negative is not spam. What is spam message or comment the Google like to avoid are the spam message that you receive in your wordpress blog.

Luckily, Google's blogspot is not affected or ready to this spam messages unlike wordpress. Still there are spam message roaming around blogspot posted by real people but the message are similar with other blogs. They are simply doing cut and paste procudure with their comment.

Now how to get free link from Google? The process is simply and just follow instruction just the way you sign up with Gmail, Google analytic and webmaster. I will not post how to do it in details, i will just encourage you to visit and read the blog of the source information and follow his instruction.

Article Duplication

If you visit forum.digitalpoint.com, many will said duplicate content is just an SEO myth. It maybe correct because if you look at the news agency, you will notice that the news of one sites can be found in another sites. Maybe he correct maybe he is wrong but for sure Google is penalizing sites.

How did i know that. I tested my blog and I copy content from others. The blog is PR 1 then once i add post of these copied i found that i lost the PR and it is now NA.

One of our SEO specialist said, Google penalize only blog site but i do not believe that. I have found many domain that duplicate content and they are already penalized.

Penalization matrix is still unknown, what i am sure is that if you have excessive duplication in your sites, you will be penalize for 2 weeks to more than 6 months.

Not take a look of this article that have submitted to various article submission sites.
