PR What? May 22, 2007

Posted by Evil Green in : Domain Names, Forums , trackback

I had been working on adding a blog to one of my sites - the forums.  My goal with the blog is two fold, it will give me a spot to post how to articles and I believe I am more likely to get links to the blog as I think web masters are hesitant to link to forums (not sure why, but I really feel that way). 

It has backfired a little so far as there is a little less action in the forums as the user is not ending up in the forum off the bat.  However I think Google will index the forum home page and things will level out.

At the same time I switched my domain from “.net” to “.com” as I snapped up the “.com” when its previous owner had let it expire.

I placed a 301 on http://www.xxxxxx.net/ and xxxxxxx.net and xxxxxxx.com to http://www.xxxxxx.com/ and immediatly my homepage PR went from PR2 to PR4.   The .com had sat parked at godaddy for at least 6 months and had no PR rating so I was surprised and thrilled to see it jump (even though it doesn’t really matter).

As far as a stats goes:
