Get A Google PR3 In 2 Months!
I’ve recently had an in-yer-face lesson about really tightly targeted keywords, and just how much easier Search Engine Optimisation is when you’re working in a niche market - ideally, a narrowly defined niche market.
My middle ‘child’, Crete Delights, has posts dating from 21 July, but I didn’t start to promote the site until 28 July, and added it to my Entrecard account on 26 August.
Crete Delights immediately began to attract search engine traffic, although the site has only 14 posts, 6 pages, 5 videos, 12 photos, 14 comments (half of which are my replies), 7 inbound links, and a Technorati Rank of 6. Although the site contained only this content ’starter pack’, it attained a Google Page Rank of 3!
To recap, these are the stats:
1st post: 21 July
Promotion commenced: 28 July
Entrecard start date: 26 August
Technorati Authority: 6
Alexa rank: 186,696
Number of posts: 14
Number of pages: 6
Number of comments: 14
Number of inbound links: 7
Number of videos: 4
Number of photos: 15
Google Page Rank: 3
Time taken: 2 months
Something that I find hilarious is that it’s taken Crete Delights less time to attain a Google Page Rank 3 than it takes Alexa to display a screenshot of the site!

Thanks for dropping by.
Not trying to burst your bubble here, but you should wait until the next PR adjustment.
It’s not because you are doing something wrong, but all sites get high PR on their first 20-60 days because their content is treated as news, which gives them more relevance.
Once the dust settle, inbound links, traffic, updating frequency, SEO optimization and so on are the things which will make your PR increase ore decrease (hope it will increase, of course).

I thought it was pretty pathetic of google if they could be duped that easily!

That’s strange, I don’t know why that is so.

Google’s PR values go up and down for sites. My PR values for all my different sites currently change everytime Google does an update. I started my linked site with a 2, went to 0, now back at 2. Who knows?

Congratulations on such a great start to your new blog. I enjoy popping by daily as Crete is my favourite Greek Island. We saw a Dice snake on our recent holiday and it was only because of the post on your blog that we knew what it was.

Thanks for the congrats.
So pleased you saw a Dice snake, and were able to identify it! It’s wonderful, too, that you had no reason to be concerned, because you recognised it.

layne, if you open another blog within this month, and promote it asap, getting all the backlinks, etc…, you can replicate the PR success of crete delights. Google normally updates PR in 75 - 90days.

I have another new blog that’s around a month old now, but it doesn’t have such narrowly defined keywords, so it’ll be interesting to see how it develops PR-wise.

Hi Layne,
This is quite a feat eh? PR 3 in two months. Congratulations are in order! Or shall we order champagne and have ourselves a party in the midst of all this economic meltdown? Is it moral to get drunk at such a time? Or is it better to get drunk to escape temporarily from the craziness of the financial markets?
I don’t really know. But one thing I care about is seeing my friend happy with this accomplishment. And you can be assured, that whatever time of day I posted this, and wherever in this wilderness of a place I am situated, I will drink to your accomplishment!
Congratulations Layne, well done!
–Durano, done!
