I know it's pointless and means nothing, but I still get miffed when we drop, and manage a huzzah when we rise. Maybe it's ingrained?

The average PR across all the domains in the world is 1. That is how the algorithm works.

So as more pages and domains appear the chances are that your PR will drop anyway just due to the expansion of the internet.

Exactly PR has nothing to do with the amount of traffic or success a website enjoys.
Panda webinar 4th August 2011 4:01 PM
This is a pretty good webinar about Panda - the speaker really appears to know what he is talking about.

Google Panda Webinar by Guerilla

Suggests pages with 2,400 words and a keyword density of 0.5% are doing the best now, not sure about that, but a lot of the rest of what he says seems spot on.

I have had a few staff storm out, but fortunately they didn't work directly for me. I like a bit of drama in the workplace ads to the spice of things.

Its also a way of sneaking past spam filters such as blog comments etc. I get a lot of these on another site and find it difficult to remove - as a ban on all url shorteners would hit the good and bad ones

Google tells the time also!
How to link build correctly? 2nd August 2011 9:41 PM
Creating a couple of blogs of your own is an easy win - you can post interesting on topics then drop in the odd link to good pages within your own site.

Provided you don't go over the top - with 100's of blogs and too may posts it seems to work.

At least that keeps things under your own control.

I think its because they use a third party caching service / DNS caching - as i host a lot of images and code locally that slows things down, rather than speed things up.

Time to first page display is 19% slower - but the last page element is faster.

So I its far better as it is.

Business link is defunct now - looks like they were one of the Quangos that got the axe.

One of mine was 19% slower! After optimization!
