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.

Share the post "LinkedIn Plans To Go Public In 2011"

LinkedIn, the social networking site for professionals, plans to go public in 2011 and has selected its financial underwriters: Morgan Stanley, Bank of America and JPMorgan being the book runners. Bankers made their pitches to the privately-held company in November. Internet companies such as LinkedIn and Zynga, a popular maker of online social games, are considering offerings well ahead of a potential IPO of Facebook.

The people familiar with the process said LinkedIn is hoping to attract investors on its reputation as one of the Web’s fastest growing social network sites.
The site claims more than 85 million members. The filing of LinkedIn’s S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which contains the basic financial information of an issuer could take months.

Linkedin, which does not disclose financial results, makes money from advertising and premium services. The valuation of a Linkedin IPO was not given by the sources.
Sales of its stock on online secondary market exchange SharesPost gives LinkedIn an implied valuation of around $2.2 billion. LinkedIn’s investors include Sequoia Capital — the venture capital firm that has backed Yahoo, Google, Apple Cisco Systems and Oracle — Greylock Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners and Goldman Sachs.

Quite a good lineup I believe.

Share the post "Facebook Eclipses Google In 2010"

Facebook beat out Google as the No. 1 most-visited site in the United States in 2010, according to Internet analytics firm Hitwise.

Well, it does not matter what the factors taken into account were. I certainly am not surprised that this happened. After all, majority of the people who go online especially the teeny boppers have a Facebook account and they spend much of their time socializing but that is all there is to it.

They can use Facebook to search for anything related to people and it is only up to that. Google still reigns supreme when it comes to search factor. Take the case of a programmer. Do you think one would use Facebook to search for solutions or possibly some source code that he could reuse?

Facebook may have won the traffic challenge versus Google but Google’s popularity in the search engine field will always be strong and will never diminish. Facebook challenged Google where it is weakest: online identity and the social Web, and won. After all, it is what Facebook is all about. But other than that, Google still reigns supreme.
