Many times I am using a computer different than my own. If a MSN home page pops up, I start by typing in "Speedcat". This sets me up with links to everywhere I go. I come in first on most all search engines. Things by Mike has a post up today about page rank, and how he was a 4, and now is a 0. My page rank is a 4, and I'm hoping I do not drop to a 0! He also showed that a search of "Mike" placed his blog on the first page of google. (not to shabby) How does this work?
Anyway, about a week back, I could not find my blog on a MSN search no matter what I tried. I assumed that I had broken some kind of linking / or copy protocol. OK, whatever... as long as I don't disappear from google and yahoo.
Today, after reading mikes page, my interest drove me back to MSN. Boom, there I am, number #1 again. What the heck?
Does anyone know what happened here? I sure don't!

If you go to wikipedia there's some weird long convoluded explaination...it includes graphs too! It was a total bore for me...I looked at it and then closed the page. Who cares anyway, I decided. LOL There's a cool widget on my blog, it's the first one in the "blog stuff" section. If you click on it and put in your URL it will give you a ranking. I've been 4 forever! Don't really know what it all means anyway.
Hey! check out the new blog bling on your page...very cool.
man, i dont get any of this stuff. for now i guess i dont care about google ranking; i guess if ppl find me otherwise i'll be happy :)
but if anyone wants to enlighten me on the technicalities of google ranks and linkies and stuff, i'm up for it!
Cool Drowsey!
I am a believer that friends in blogging is what's important to.
Hi Josey! I still have this newbee fasination with gaining readers and strenth as a page.
To both ladies: Somedays I'll get over 100 visitors, and not many comments. I would rather hear from 10 people than gain 50 hits. I still get a bang out of learning and linking though.
Google will rank a blog/site based on an algorithm called PageRank, developed as a Masters Thesis work by the founders of Google, Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page.
To asses a page's rank it considers not just the keywords present in the page to get to know what information it provides but also the inbound links for this page from all over the Web.
More real world example would be, If I claim that I know the pope, you will consider me ma be slightly more important than you would have otherwise. BUT if you hear pope claiming that he knows me, then you will consider me as really important person. Similarly if a good pagerank blog/site provides a link to my blog/site, Google will improve my rank in its algorithm.
Hope you find this information useful and thanks for providing link to my blog :

Thanks for that fine explaination. It makes sense. I still wonder why I disappeared from the Live Search for a week.
Thanks for stopping in USA NEWS!
