Personal Development / Self Improvement Photography / Digital Art SEO Social Media PageRank Updates PageRank updates have struck again. Although there is always debate on how much PR really matters, I was still pleasantly surprised to see that: Dofollow Social Networks This week I have been doing some updates to the dofollow social media networks page, removing some networks that are no longer dofollow (like all of the Ning networks and LinkedIn) and adding several new networks to the mix. More additions will be coming soon, so keep it on your watch list! This week, I discussed how I took posts from Kikolani and branched them out into new blogs. Instead of moving everything to a new site, I moved selected posts from one WordPress to the next, quite easily. So now all of my poetry has a new home at Fragile Poetry, and some of my personal discovery articles have moved to Artistic Gemini, which will also cover a mix of astrology, personality, psychology and more. These are outtakes of a commercial for the new Head tennis racquets featuring Novak Djokovic. Quite amusing!

Excellent menu of creative works by the blogging community. There’s one link that I totally disagree with, but I will email the author directly.
Kudos!

I will start with the video

Thanks for these resources – have a few of them open in tabs right now, really do like Sire’s post on the myth of dofollow stealing PR: he’s right to the point.
And yeah, I have to get around to using a backlink analysis tool someday. Congrats on the PR improvement – it’s really neat how it’s across the board.

Hi Kristi, you’ve done it again! Fetching Friday is in a class by itself and you are to be commended for doing such excellent work. Thanks for the resource and link love.

Not that I worry too much about PR, but congrats on your PR Kristi, especially your Dofollow Blog Directory. That is very impressive seeing how new it is and all. I’m also impressed that you haven’t missed a step in keeping the Fetching Friday series going
Thanks again for the linkluv too Kristi.

Fetching Friday is indeed in a class by itself. Kudos to you for providing us all with this excellent resource. Thanks also for the link love. Learning SEO is definitely worth the time and effort as it does result in increased traffic via search engines. I’ve proved that to myself and hope to prove it to others as well. Have a wonderful weekend and best wishes with your two new blogs.

Thanks for the update. I knew PR was in the oven for quite some time, but as you pointed out, now it’s official. I finally got a PR 3 for my new domain dragosroua.com, I think it’s pretty ok for a domain which had content for only 3-4 months. As for the video, yeap, it was funny
Thanks for the link love and looking forward to read the rest of the articles.
.-= Dragos Roua´s last blog ..Goals and Mechanical Rabbits =-.
I read the post “how mobile friendly is your web design”.But honestly i don’t like to blog through my blackberry. I use my laptop for that. I use my mobile for some important mails that needs to be sent while i am on move. But yes it is good to have your website designed in a such a way that it should look good in a mobile device as well.
Another great list, but man, that’s a lot of blogs! I hope you’re able to keep up with them all.

I really agree with some of your 50 timeless lessons in life. Life is so unfair…. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone…… Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.,….
but i don’t agree with you this. “It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.” You can’t be angry to our big boss… He knows everything what’s good and what’s not good for us..
wow funny video on tennis i don’t like more tennis but this one is good for laugh, one more good resources specially for self improvement thanks kristi…
Thanks for featuring my link. You’ve certainly compiled a great list of resources. Simply amazing! I am going to check up on some of these. Great work on streamlining your work and websites!
