PageRank update and SERP

]]> As you know, Google had another Pager Rank update last April 1. All of my blogs including this one got a PR boost except for my tech blog (which I barely update).

Randy Marasigan dot com is now PR 4 from PR 3 and my News Blog (Daily Contributor) also got the same PR rank now. That’s good news right? Maybe.

Bloggers want a high PR, because high PR will give you a slight advantage over other bloggers with lower PR when it comes to SERP (Search Enging Result Page) ranking.

What is bothering me right now is that this blog is not ranking in Google SERP anymore. When you search for my name on Google, the first result should be of course (Randy Marasigan dot com) but as of now the first result is my twitter account page followed by the page 2 of this blog which is weird.

Here’s a screenshot:

google-serp

I’m not sure what’s happening right now. All I know is that my older post is also loosing on the SERP department. I want them back! I need them back!

Maybe it’s just a google dance? I certainly hope so, because if it’s not, what’s the use of PR anyway?

UPDATE:

SERP page ranks are coming back. I think.

What is Canonical Link Element?

]]> What is Canonical Link Element?

It can help site owners with duplicate content issues. Google and other search engines like Yahoo and Microsoft Live announced their support for canonical link element.

I believe that the man that can best explain “canonical link element” is Matt Cutts. So, watch his video explanation below:

Video: Canonical Link element explained by Matt Cutts

If your blog is also running on WordPress, then you’re in luck. Yoast has created a plugin called wp-canonical. The plugin adds rel="canonical" links to your blogs <head> section.
You can download it at his website, just install it, and you are ready to go.

I found the Matt Cutts video on the new webmaster channel on YouTube. It is a good way to find out about new webmaster-related videos from Google.
