Hi all,

My site has been up for about 3.5 months now. Since then I have been improving my site as well as trying to get high page ranking (PR). Many of you already know that to get high PR take lots of work and patience. There are many tips and tricks out there but one of them is involved "writing." Writing articles take lots of time and patience to see the result.

I decided to write weekly article and submit it to 4-5 articles websites. I started writing 3 months ago and it is finally showing some great results and I would like to share with you all. Some of my pages now have PR 3/10. I am very happy with this result even if some of my pages still have PR 0/10.

My site is about teaching people how to cook Thai food. I offer weekly articles, glossary and recipe. I try my best to write a good article and submit it to ezinearticles.com, isnare.com, associated content, etc. With a good article, I got over 10 publishers published my articles. Within 10 publishers, there might be a high PR site. So far I published 11 articles and have over 80 publishers published my articles. I didn't do any link exchange, advertising, etc.

I think it is a good way to promote your site even if it might take a long time, months. The other benefit is that search engines might crawl your site more often since you're often updating your content.

If you like to write and you are creating a site about something you love, then you might find it easy to write an article. I have to admit that at first it was hard to come up with a topic to write about. This was because I was worried too much about readers. Then my family told me stop worrying about readers, just write and share my knowledge. It was a good suggestion!

I hope this idea can help some of you who are trying to get high PR.

Thank you

Niddy

I received an email from Wufoo about thier maintenance. Some may already get this, but for those who doesn't, here's the info:

Scheduled Maintenance

Hey everyone, we just wanted to let you know that we will be performing maintenance on Wufoo's infrastructure this coming Saturday, which will require us to take down the form processing servers. The scheduled outage is to happen on :

Saturday, September 27th, 2008
9pm PST / Midnight EST

About the Maintenance

This will actually be the first phase of a two part upgrade we're doing to improve the backend of Wufoo to better handle our current rate of growth and to anticipate future scaling needs. The second phase should take place some time in the next few weeks. During the downtime this Saturday, we'll be adding some additional hardware that will improve our backup system and make it more robust. We'll also be putting our new file system online which will improve our database access speeds.

Please note that while the system is unavailable, all Wufoo pages will show a maintenance screen, and public forms and reports will show a text message (black text on white background) explaining that the form is undergoing maintenance. Also, our mail servers will still be working and so you will be able to get a hold of us at support@wufoo.com.

Please prepare your sites appropriately and thanks again for bearing with us as we continue to grow.
