I wonder if something is going on with Page Rank
Filed Under Google | 2 Comments
I checked my Page Rank the other day after noticing that my toolbar rank was showing zero. Now, the PR is back to normal — 4/10.
I have been dumping some parked domains that I had been hoarding for a while that were pointing to this site. I also dropped a dedicated IP address pointing here as well. Both were at the suggestion of my chief financial officer — my wife — who said we didn’t need to pay for all sorts of domain names and fancy hosting services that aren’t absolutely needed. When my wife says to do something, it’s best to follow along. I wonder if that might have caused the ripple in my PR earlier this week?
If not, it might signal something is going on with the rankings. Of course, it could also just have been an outage someplace in the big G’s server system.
I’d keep an eye out just to see if there is any movement, however.

American Idol time again with the crew listening to hopeful contestants in Jacksonville, Florida.
Joshua Ulloa looks like Justin. Will he impress the judges with his unique style and sound effects? Simon says Joshua Ulloa reminded him of Inspector Gadget. Joshua Ulloa gets four yeses.
Sharon Wilbur is a cutie with a little doggy. Is her singing good enough to impress the judges? Sharon Wilbur gets a yes from Simon and Randy. Will Kara and Paula say yes? They do and Sharon Wilbur is going to Hollywood. Plus, Paula and Kara kiss.
Dana Moreno. Ouch. Not going to Hollywood.
Kaneswa exudes confidence. Will it be enough for a Golden Ticket. Simon says the song got progressively worse. Kaneswa does have good stage presence, great smile and attitude.
Julissa sings well while wearing a tiara. Will she be the first Latin American Idol? Julissa is going to Hollywood.
Commercial break features a cosmetic ad with Queen Latifa looking good with nice highlights.
Random thought — you’ll always have someone ask a question during the time an American Idol contestant’s name is displayed. Must concentrate more to catch spellings.
Darin Darnell wants to be the next Idol and is lively and chatty. But his best friend is cut and now he’s broken up. Darin Darnell‘s singing has broken. No joy. No golden ticket.
Naomi Sykes is up. They say she’s the last contestant of the first day. Naomi Sykes lobbies for her friend to come into the audition room. Friend Samantha joins in and sits on Randy’s lap. Soon everyone is on each other’s laps (Kara with Ryan and Simon with Paula). Trying to sing Minnie Riperton’s Loving You is tough and Naomi Sykes can’t do the song justice.
Jasmine Murray is the baby of the family. Jasmine Murray‘s family is there to show the support. The 16-year-old likes Jasmine Murray‘s singing. Four yeses and Jasmine Murray is going to Hollywood.
George Ramirez is a physics student with a hippie beard who wants a simple house with marble floors. George Ramirez is not going to Hollywood after his quiet audition. Simon says singing isn’t the thing for George Ramirez.
Commercial for Fox Chicago teases special report about medical personnel endangering us all by wearing scrubs out and about. My wife wears her scrubs when going out for lunch with me. I’m afraid now!
Anne Marie Boskovich searches for new confidence and will be back later. Anne Marie Boskovich can sing, Simon wants her to come back later as a star so the judges send the hottie out for a little while. You know Anne Marie Boskovich is going to get a Golden Ticket when she gets a chance to sing her song for the judges.
TK Hash can sing. TK Hash had auditioned before, so will he get a Golden Ticket his second time around? TK Hash is going to go to Hollywood with a 3 to 1 vote with Simon dissenting.
Michael Perrelli wants to be a musician, but panics not being able to play his guitar. Michael Perrelli sings like he’s on Broadway. Simon thinks Michael Perrelli has and interesting voice but will struggle in the competition. Paula suggests the guitar helps him sing. Simon kicks Michael Perrelli out because he was starting to plead.
Anne Marie Boskovich is back all made up and looking sexy. I like Anne Marie Boskovich‘s voice and she’s a hottie. Yes, yes, yes and yes onward to Hollywood for Anne Marie Boskovich.
Sixteen make the cut this time on American Idol. Tomorrow AI listens to contestants in David Archuleta’s hometown of Salt Lake City.
