Pagerank
Pagerank is either a big deal or a meaningless, arbitrary number, depending on who you ask about it. In my personal (far from professional) opinion, it carries some weight with the search engines, but it’s not the be-all and end-all. It’s still nice to see it go up though. 
Google did a pagerank update recently, and when I started hearing that it was complete I checked the ranks for my websites. One had gone from 3 to 4, one from 0 to 3, and the other two (this one included) were showing 0 just as they always had. I was a bit disappointed, because this one had been around as long as the one that went from 0 to 3 and has just as many, if not more, incoming links.
Well, this morning I was tinkering around with the other zero site, and noticed that it is now showing up as a 2. That got me curious… so I checked this here blog, and it is now showing a pagerank of 3. Woo-hoo! I do hope those are the final numbers.
The downside is that I checked the one that had gone up from 3 to 4, and now it appears to be back at a 3. The other one is still at a 3 though. Is all that enough numbers to thoroughly confuse you, or should I throw out some more? 
I do need to work on getting more links to my sites, not just for pagerank purposes but to make sure that they are seen. So if you are looking to exchange links, let me know. I want links that are relevant to my sites, so I need stuff that is of interest to work at home moms or moms on a budget.
