Pagerank update for a redirected domain

Some time ago I was telling you about my full site redirect experiment.

In the meantime a Google Toolbar PR update took place and the new fresh domain got a PageRank of 4.

It seems that if you decide to move one domain to another, the new one will receive almost all of the old one’s authority.

This is good to know and could succesfully be used in some of the following cases:

- You have a site idea and you get a domain for it; sometime in the future you see that it’s not the best "choice of words"; no problem, you get a new domain name and move the website to it, redirecting 1:1; In this case you keep almost all of the old domain’s authority

- You get hold of a related (or unrelated) older domain; instead of moving your working website, you redirect all traffic from the related domain to your website; this will raise your website’s authority; if you can get hold of some good quality/good PR domains with traffic which you don’t have anything to do with, I suggest you use them to boost a domain of you choosing’s traffic and authority up

I’m sure you could find other uses for full domain 301 redirection and I’d appreciate if you could post any ideas you could share in the comments!

Porn is better than Obama

I was browsing Google Search Insights today and trying to find the most searched keyword of 2008 I came upon this comparison: Porn vs Obama.

As you can see in the attached image, Porn greatly outranks Obama :))

I’m considering this funny because I was swamped with presidential election ads and I’m not even living in the USA.

A great deal of money was put into the election ads and it seems that people are still searching more for porn.

Also I noticed that one of the rising terms Worldwide in 2008 is "red tube" a youtube like website, but for porn.

People dig porn !

I have to say that I’m happy that Barack Obama succeeded in becoming the very first african american president.

It means the United States as a nation have surpassed all their past rasism.

I just found this video, it looks solid but I didn’t have time to watch all of it.

I will see it later and tell you what I liked most and my final opinion.
