My Blog Finally Get a Compete Rank!
by cheesy on Feb.08, 2009, under SEO
Oh, I am so happy that one of my blogs finally get a compete rank. 
I read that compete rank is more accurate than Alexa rank. I found that many websites or blogs do not have compete rank although their sites might even have good Google page rank or Alexa rank.
But I found that a website that does really have unique visitors traffic does have a compete rank. This is why I am so happy that one of my blogs finally get a compete rank.
How do you know your compete rank? Well, download the toolbar here if you do not have it on your Firefox browser.
It will appear like this
on the right side at bottom area of your browser page.
This status toolbar allows webmasters to view Google Pagerank, Alexa rank and backlinks from Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft Live Search.
This is another method for blogs to showoff their popularity in addition to PageRank, Alexa and Technorati Ranking. And finding many blogs are coming up because of the paid review things or links business, I guess the competition will be tight and it will only be a short time before companies like Text-Link-Ads and Sponsored Reviews include this in their calculation of a site’s popularity.
I guess thanks to entrecard that also has help me increasing traffics to my blogs.

Do you often do internet browsing? You may know about RSS. RSS or Rich Site Summary is a system that makes the web page content we visit change regularly. Usually RSS is used in news web site, blog, or music web site. RSS will make the content of the web site you visit change regularly, it means when you open a news web site and you read the news there, if there is a new news your page will automatically change and the new news will be shown in the news web site you visit.
Nowadays there are many web page apply this kind of system. You can know whether a web site apply this system or not by see the orange symbol in the address box in your browser. The way use RSS is also easy. You only need to have RSS feed reader installed in you computer. This application will run in the background and always search for new content for your web page. This application will always update your web page, so every time there is new update for your web page, this application will show to your internet browser.
So, every time you read news in the internet you do not need to worry, you will always get the new update about the news. But make sure that the web site you visit is RSS enable.
What is DoFollow and NoFollow?

What is backlinks?
Backlinks are also known by different names as inlinks or inbound links. A backlink is a link from another website to your website.
Why are backlinks important?
Having good quality backlinks coming into your website can increase your Google page rank. And having good page rank can put your website in top search list which can invite traffics to your website.
Unfortunately this process is open to webmasters to grab as many backlinks as they can get, including ones that aren’t relevant to their site and could even be considered as just spam. Google became aware of this problem and in 2005 introduced the nofollow tag. What this did was effectively stop search engines from giving any credit to a link which had the nofollow attribute.
So how the nofollow tag works?
Say for instance you were creating a link to my blog from your website. This is the code you would use:
<a href=”http://www.desktopbundle.com/”>Computer Blog</a>
It will create the following link: Computer Blog
With the nofollow tag the code will look like this:
<a href=”http://www.desktopbundle.com/” rel=”nofollow”>Computer Blog</a>
Notice the addition of rel=”nofollow”. Although it has extra code, the link will still appear the same, like this:Computer Blog.
So although you can’t tell the difference by looking at the link itself, the extra code you put can tell the search engines that they shouldn’t give any juice to that link. This will help you prevent comment spam
So how dofollow tag works?
Dofollow is the opposite of nofollow - in the other words, the search engines do give credit to the link.
This is an example to create a dofollow link:
<a href=”http://www.desktopbundle.com/”> Computer Blog </a>
Without putting rel=”nofollow” code on it, it already means you make dofollow link. So if you posted a comment on that blog then the link to your website would be given credit by Google and the other search engines.
