Clock is Ticking on The Page Rank 10 Experiment

Well here's a clever idea....challenge Google's algorithm to achieve a page rank of 10 in a 2 year time period. And may as well not hide the obvious and make it perfectly clear in the domain name "pagerank10.co.uk".

With less than a year to go this site has already achieved a PR6, initially starting at PR0 on April 20, 2006, and is presently showing 548,326 backlinks. Their average daily traffic of 560 unique visitors may be from curiosity seekers or others rooting them on but could it be their popularity is mainly due to the added incentive they offer if you place a link and send referrals. Once they receive their page rank 10 they are going to give the site free...yes free... to the top referrer. Then the winner will be the proud owner of a page rank 10 site. Right now filesaveas.com is leading with 3292 referrals but hey you still have more than 11 months to catch up to them. I can see this really picking up closer to the end. And since there isn't that many sites that have a PR10, achieving it may not be so easy...will have to wait and see on this one.

WhyPark Sites Get Page Ranked

Seems Google has recently been updating page ranks in their datacenters. My WhyPark sites not only got indexed, are now showing increased page ranks. Considering these sites started at zero and involved minimal effort, it is impressive the page ranks they are now receiving after a short time period.

Here's a few examples that I verified on page rank checker :

www.petshealthtips.com from PR0 to PR3
www.affiliatestipster.com from PR0 to PR2
www.singlemates.net from PR0 to PR1

Even this blog which I started 3 months ago is receiving a PR2. That also is an achievement since I don't post regularly. Imagine what would happen if I really made an effort.

If you have a bunch of domain names, WhyPark is an easy solution to quickly set up content-rich websites to customize as you choose. I found it to be a better alternative to parking domains and much easier than building a site from scratch. And now one of the added benefits the sites are reaping is page rank.

Ebay vs Amazon Experiment

Both Ebay and Amazon have affiliate programs that are free to join and offer commissions. I use both of them on my sites and now I am doing an experiment to see which one really performs and pays better. For Ebay, I think the best tool they have is the Editor's Kit since it shows running auctions and can be specifically categorized to whichever product(s) you want to promote. And Amazon's best tool I would say is their aStore, which is a storefront that you can customize and choose the products you want to sell. Here is an example of the Ebay Editor's Kit: Pet Echo and an example of the Amazon aStore: Pet Echo Store. Now for the month of April I am using same advertising techniques (Adwords, USFreeads, etc.) to promote both on one of my sites.

I will update at the end of the month as to which one overall did the best.
