BLogging, Social Networking and Backlinks

I have received several emails from subscribers and occasional readers of Marikenya asking me how to improve their blogs and their page ranks. Thank you very much for your trust and believing that I am qualified to answer your queries.

If you happen to pass by this blog months back, you would notice that the layout has entirely changed. I picked a new template (and modified some of its components), one that looks organized but not boring. I believe that among the basis of google for assigning page ranks is the layout or design of a blog. Although there’s no sure way or specified criteria for increasing page ranks, I have seen a lot of blogs with good PR for their nice layout.

I was awoke this morning with a text message from a very good friend, Jen of Marriage and Beyond: “Sis, good news! PR3 na blog mo!!! Wohooo!!! So happy for you!”

Until 8:15 a.m., I was thinking that she was referring to her blog being a Page Rank 3 again so I was not surprised anymore because her blog really deserve it. I reread her text when I get to the office and to my surprise, I suddenly realized that she was referring to marikenya this time! Oh wow!

With this, I wanted to thank everyone who helped me started, developed and made Marikenya a PR3. To Neil who inspired and actually lend me the hosting of this site, to my good friends in the real world who made it a habit to read Marikenya, to my virtual friends from WPP and all other forums I joined and those from MyBlogLog and Blog Catalog, to sweet blogger friends who never forget to tag me even if I wasn’t able to respond quickly to tags, and to all Marikenya’s Readers who subscribed to my Feeds and all other walk-ins and passersby, here is my word of gratitude to you all:

Marikenya says thank you

My heart and head are up the clouds today. I hope Marikenya will continue to be here until old age and arthritis get the best of my fingers (maybe by then, I’d be rich enough to hire someone to type my thoughts for me). I hope all of you guys will continue to see sense and learn from my pages. I hope Marikenya will survive (just as Lozada would hopefully survive the Senate Hearings and death threats).
