Traffic

Surprsingly my traffic hasn’t suffered from the Pagerank decrease.

(“This Week” just started that’s why it’s at 0″)

It makes me wonder how much pagerank factors into Google’s algorithm now-a-days.

About the Author, Dan Cameron:

I'm the owner and solution engineer at Sprout Venture, a web solutions company that specializes in web development including WordPress.

I started my first blog in 2003 and transitioned to WordPress in 2004. Since moving to WordPress I've written a few plugins and themes for public consumption. Lately I'm busy engineering/building/coding and have only been able to share a few code snippets.

If you're in need of some web development, web design or custom WordPress plugins and/or themes contact me, I'll be happy to discuss it with you.

  • Yeah, there are a couple problems with traffic as a factor in ad prices, though:

    (1) it's usually not publicly exposed in a verifiable way, and
    (2) I don't think Google takes it into account in its rankings. Since TLA customers are essentially trying to pay for higher PageRank for their own sites, they don't care too much about traffic on the ad hosting site, because they're not going after actual click-throughs the way other advertising systems are.
  • That's encouraging. Too bad TLA wants to use pagerank as their main metric. I guess we will see what they do. Traffic should be as big a factor, if not more, than pagerank.
