To get a high PR all you need to do is get a lot of links from high pr pages (or indeed a lot of pages). No one knows if Google assigns real PR the moment they spider a page so a TBR site of 0 might very well be a 5 and show as such 3 months later. High PR = Lots of links. Although you cannot say for 100% anything is right or wrong, the thought that bad html is the cause of low PR is, frankly, bollocks.

Your top 10 referrers, top 10 articles showing the number of times they were read, and the top 10 external off site link clicks within your blog posts. The ad clicking feature is good too, showing you what ad was clicked on, or at least the target destination. Ok, so its lacking in a lot of things and could be a whole lot better granted. But hey, its free and besides if you want something a little more involved there’s always Google analytics or Web trends or for the ultra paranoid amongst us, there’s the traditional on server log file analysis approach. Webaliser, Analog, AW Stats all do a pretty good job at showing you the why’s and the wherewithals (ad clicks aside perhaps). The other day here lyndoman and I had a little light hearted discussion of some of the pluses and minuses of this whole tracking thing. I can’t see porn sites using the widget, else you would just see a lot of hairy crusty blokes, viewing the hot lesbo action websites, lol. Good way to blackmail.

Oh and thanks for the kind words on the blog, I agree its looking pretty slick! - I can't take too much credit for that though, its a fine piece of work, hats off to Mr Mueller (see footer) for that :) Hi Anthony, agreed thats the thing, thats why people who say things that aren’t necessarily true need to be called out and put right, its an education thing.

I am soooo jealous :). SEO is the new "snake oil" in a lot of cases. If we write good content, PR will take care of itself. Hey Rob – The blog looks fantastic! I am soooo jealous :) .

If everyone knew everything about everyone wouldn't that be fun. But I do not want my browsing habits revealed, remember aol releasing the data? What if mybloglog got hacked and the data used? I can't see porn sites using the widget, else you would just see a lot of hairy crusty blokes, viewing the hot lesbo action websites, lol. Good way to blackmail. But what would be cool for geeks would be mobile phone text alerts that tell you when such and such has visited your site. It's a brilliant service with fantastic ways for it to go wrong. Just delete your cookie when you visit syndic8, hehe. I have a vision of Scott Rafer sitting in front of a hundred monitors with white cat on lap monitoring all the sites people visit, haha.
