Subscribe to Online Bull and Get a Chance to Win $10 Cash
This post is just to inform you that I’m holding a contest at Online Bull as a part of the pre-launch promotion. Online Bull is a blog focused on giving smashing internet marketing tips.
I will give out $10 to the winner of the contest. While this isn’t that big or cool, but considering the fact that it takes less than 20 seconds to subscribe, its a good deal. The only thing you’ve got to do is subscribe to Online Bull through email and confirm your subscription. I will announce the winner on the day I officially launch the blog (which is less than a week away).
You can also help me with promoting Online Bull by adding it to your Technorati favorites, or linking back to it from your blog or even blogging about it. Although, its not necessary to take part in the contest, I would be very grateful if you do so.
If the price seems very small, don’t worry. I will be having a very big contest after a few days. So you’d better subscribe to it right now. 
I’m looking forward to hearing your opinion about the contest.
New Blog - Online Bull
I started a new blog, Online Bull, which will focus on providing smashing internet marketing tips. Of course, I did not start the blog all on my own, I started it in a join venture partnership with Jason. This is my first internet marketing blog. My main inspiration for starting this blog was Net Strife which was previously run by Lucas. I was really impressed with Lucas’ blog and wanted to delve more deeply into internet marketing.
I have only published a Hello World there. The blog will be officially launched in a few days. But I have plans and ideas for future posts which will have 100% no-nonsense, quality content. There are changes being done on the blog logo and design. And soon, I’ll have a professional-looking blog ready. Don’t worry though, I won’t stop posting on Blog Smartly. I’ll be devoting equal attention and time towards both the blogs.
I’m also having a small contest for the blog. I’m giving away $10 to one random email subscriber. Remember, I will only give away the prize to an email subscriber, not an RSS subscriber. I will announce the winner on the day I launch the blog. So those who haven’t subscribed yet, subscribe soon!
So head over to my new blog and drop a comment there. And don’t forget to subscribe to Online Bull via RSS or via email. Tell me what you think.
Google Pagerank Update
Well it seems that Google has updated its Pagerank. Every few months, Google Updates its rankings of various website on the internet. This ranking by Google is very important for a website and influences its traffic and advertising rates. Bloggers too consider Pagerank as an important factor for their blogs.
Blog Smartly got a Pagerank 1. Although I’m not satisfied with it, I will make sure I get a good PR next time.
Blog Smartly Fair Value Analysis
Due to the many people complaining about the unjust pagerank ranking system, I have decided to do a fair value analysis of many blogs here in this post. Below is a list of 19 blogs that are listed with their pageranks and their fair value.

Results
Overall, Google has done a pretty good job of ranking websites this time. Although big sites like John Cow were given rankings that were totally unfair, most of the other blogs got fair rankings.
What you can learn
If you did not receive a pagerank that you were satisfied with (or you did not receive any pagerank at all), you can put some good effort into gaining more links to your blog. Try commenting more on other blogs, submitting your blog to directories, etc.
Bottom line - Google’s Pagerank may not be very accurate, it may not be fair even! But, like it or not, Google Pagerank serves as a powerful factor for your website.

John Cow has been COWnapped!
This will be the most entertaining story that you have read today. 
You would have read about this on my Saturday Link Love. John Cow has been COWnapped! Its been a sad day that the John Cow pastures. They have informed the officials. They really seem to miss the Cow and are afraid to eat any meat now . That’s not a problem for me since I’m a vegetarian and I don’t eat meat.
Watch this video to see how the Cow was COWnapped.
Meanwhile Garry Conn is denying that he hired someone to kidnap the cow. But he seems to be very happy with the news.
