Share the post "Don’t Upgrade To WordPress 3.8!"

This was a mess. I did not expect WordPress 3.8 to slow down my blog site. As in literally! The admin console takes too long to load and so do my blog posts.

I tried to look in the web for a solution but it seems people are blaming the hosting provider or possible WordPress plugins. Unbelievable!

Everything was in good condition until I pressed that update button. And it is quite a hassle downgrading so it totally sucks. If you have not upgraded to WordPress 3.8, DON’T!!!

Sure, the visuals look appealing but who surfs the web in their phones in the first place? Just go download the WordPress app.

If you upgrade to WordPress 3.8, it will be hell for you. Load time is slow and you will see connection timed out messages quite often especially while you compose a new post.

Now my monetization chances are getting slimmer because if the advertiser sees your site as loading at a snail pace, they will ignore your website.

So if you are still with version 3.7, stick with it! It won’t hurt you.

Share the post "April 2011 Pagerank Update"

If you have been following Google’s Pagerank update history, it usually occurs quarterly. Except with what happened last year when there seemed to be only one major update, I see this month of April 2011 there is a pagerank update going on, the second this year (January 2011 was the first).

My wife’s blog’s PR returned back to normal from a zero to PR3, which is what I have been waiting for. Finally! I am still hoping my other blogs will have an increase in PR. I know, having a PR4 ranking is quite big but well … if I can get a PR5, I will definitely be happy.

Maybe I will check my blogs’ rankings again by next week to see if there are any progress. What about you? Did your blog get any positive pagerank update? Share your thoughts

Share the post "Rejoice! There Is A Page Rank Update"

Rejoice! There is a page rank update finally! I am thinking this is a major one since 3 of my blogs got a page rank boost. My travel blog went from 0 to 2, my personal blog went from 3 to 4 and my art blog went from 2 to 3.

I am hoping that my two other blogs which have 0 have not yet been processed by Google. I am actually expecting an increase of page rank in all of my blogs.

This blog maintained its ranking of 4 and I am still thankful for it even though I looked forward to getting a 5 but better this than 0 right? I really thought Google killed its page rank system. I have read that some sites had updates of their own but it was some sort of a minor update.

Since 3 of my blogs had page rank changes, I am thinking this is a major update that everyone has been waiting for. What do you think? Is this the major update that website owners have been waiting for? Did your blog or site get a page rank increase or a decrease? Share your thoughts.
