Exit is Enter

Oct 11, 2008 Daily Blurbs Leave a comment

Do you know when to leave? I’ve followed a lot of exit signs before, thinking I am actually going somewhere, but in reality, I am just opening another door. How we sometimes wish we can just vanish from where we’re standing, just because every unpleasant thing is happening to you.

Once, I had a huge fight with a close friend. We were up in arms and I could feel every tendon in my body tense. I wanted to hurt her so bad, both emotionally and physically, but I knew I had to leave. I did. We’re still friends, we still talk, we still laugh.

Which proves my point. Exiting is sometimes entering.

Twilight, the movie, is coming on November 21, 2008 — here in the Philippines. I thought the showing is not until January of next year, but I am so glad that it is soon. I can’t wait!

I’ve Got Zero

When I first started this website thing, I never cared about the demographics. I just published my websites and hoped for a good traffic. All I wanted was for people to see what I’ve created. Last year, I was introduced to Google’s PageRank.

What is PageRank or PR? It is a link analysis algorithm used by Google to distinguish your website’s relevance. Basically, the more people that link to you, the more popular or important your website is to Google. When I became aware of this Google PR thing, I found out that my PR was 4/10. I should be happy about that actually.

But pageranking is not a permanent thing. I mean, the score you get is not permanent. It varies from time to time. I’ve ranked from 4 to 1, then 2 to 3, then 3 to 2, and I’ve got zero.

There are other rankings that distinguish your website’s relevance. Alexa, is one of them. Take for example Amerisave. It has a traffic rank of 98,084. As of now, there are 143 websites that link back to Amerisave which explains its 5/10 PR.

Well, I wish I can improve mine soon.
