Microsoft Goes After Google - Initiates BrowseRank As An Alternative For Google's PageRank!

It is interesting to know that Microsoft is also coming up with a separate, different algorithm for page ranking termed as "BrowseRank"

The paper as published in news.cnet.com regarding BrowseRank describes the downside of Google's PageRank and describes how the "BrowseRank" fills in the downside hole of the Google's PageRank.

BrowseRank is claimed to use browsing behaviors such as analyzing user's web browsing history, etc. (I hope it does not try to invade privacy) and in addition look towards how long a user stayed on a particular page, etc.

The paper states BrowseRank will prove to be a much more reliable means of page ranking that the current PageRank or TrustRank algorithm.

My Blog Is PR1!

Okay. This really came as a surprise to me as my blog, http://nepaliheadlines.blogspot.com/ has been PR0 for the past so many months, and when I checked it today, it was PR1.

I guess now since it is PR1, I'll need to maintain this page rank. Hopefully, I'll be able to generate some reasonable income with my blog.

I would also like to join paid postings such as Payperpost, so wish me luck!
