Finally Got Some Google Love
Somewhere between late Friday night or Saturday afternoon, Google made an update. I now have rank on my blogs! While I know PageRank is not the end all and be all of the Internet that it pretends to be (ie - the saga of John Chow), I am ecstatic. I am doing the happy dance. There’s just something about being recognized by Google that makes me want to wag my little tail.
As of Friday afternoon, I had no PageRank on my blogs. I accepted that; they are under six months old and unproven to Big Brother Google. To my delight, yesterday I noticed a change - HippyGeek.net (this blog) went from a zero PageRank to a TWO! Two! Happy news for a young personal blog. CrestlineLiving.com got a three and JillFlorio.com has a three. Threes are almost respectable! John Chow has a three! I will take it. 
A result: I feel newly inspired to write more content. I was starting to feel discouraged, even though intellectually I knew I had to be patient. After all, I had just come back from a fantastic Izea Blog Conference and met great people who make actual money from their blogs. And here I was with zero pagerank. So this was just the boot to the butt I needed.

Like I told you - it takes a bit to get page rank. Twos and threes are great considering the blogs are newer. I think mine has a 4, but it’s going to be five years old in Feb, and there’ve been months when I haven’t blogged due to my personal family stuff (you know all about that).
Just keep plugging away and your patience will be rewarded.
LOL. There’s a difference between knowing something intellectually (the being patient thing) and actually BEING patient.
Patience has never been one of my virtues. My virtues are a certain insightful yet quirky outlook on life, and the ability to be irreverent in most situations.
Thanks for the compliment!
