I am glad they did because I thought they actually did not deserve 4 when I posted so infrequently. I think since I had 5000 inbound links fomr my blogrolls they were artificially high rankings. This site is an outstanding Revolution Theme example... are you on Brian Gardner's "showcase"... I would recommend asking him... you deserve more exposure and you have done a great job with the theme - Regards ! I have a couple blogs I post to irregularly and they went down from PR4 to PR3.

The more respect Google has for your site, the more likely you are to end up in the top categories for searches that hit your types of content. @ James More proof that your strategy works. @ Amy Had I known that anyone would pay attention to the Madness, I would have planned it better. @ Hope

PR is all over the place, rising and rising again. @ John - Considering we left our PR4 behind in February to move our domain, yeah, we started with a 0. So who knows what number you saw when you drove by. As for next year... Hm. Victory versus Glory. Which to choose, which to choose... Too funny to read the comments here.

I had no clue how my site ranked - didn't really care at the time. I've since made improvements, and I guess rank does matter. You improved writer blog sites as a whole. Feel proud.

I got to know a lot of writers through the contest and I think it has helped my blog in many ways, including a move up from a page rank of five to a page rank of six. @ Jeanne Thank you. I had forgotten that a lot of sites were assigned ones rather than their actual zeros. That makes the rise even more dramatic! @ QRW

In any event, since March Madness, Writer's Notes' PR has risen three points (from PR 0 to PR 3). Thanks for listing all the blog tournament participants whose PR has increased! That's always great news! Many congratulations to everyone! Jeanne John,
