Page Rank update?
Has Google Page Rank been updated today?
I noticed that this blog has gone from a 4 to a 3. This is something that confuses me since I have only improved things with this site.
Anyon else that have observed some changes?
Google has aquired Feedburner
Google has paid 100 miliion dollars cash for Feedburner, the company which is providing most of us bloggers with a tool handling our RSS Feeds.
This is yet another step for Google to strengthen their position as a leader online. We have seen a lot of big aquisitions lately and we will see more of these in the future with out a doubt.
I want to contraulate Feedburner on their $100 million payday.

Next Internet Millionare
Today I was reading some of my usual blogs and I stumbled upon a very interesting new concept. It is Joel Comm that is the father of this project that is called, Next Internet Millionare.
Next Internet Millionare is a reality show where Joel Comm together with 12 other teachers will work with 12 contestants for 2 weeks, to see which one of them who is walking home with the cash prize of $25 000 and the chance to hook up in a joint venture with Joel Comm for his next big project.
Are you the next internet millionare? If, you feel you are you can audition for the show. I would love to try but I do no honestly think I have a chance and I actually do not have time for that either now that my schedule is filled with work with my newest project.
I will do a project update tonight or latest by tomorrow for you guys.
Page Rank Update
Google has been updating their Page Rank system the last days and now it seems that it has settled unfortunately there has been no real good news for my part, only some of my smaller sites increased, but this blog still has a rank of 4.
AndreasBard.com - PR4 -> PR4
YourSpace Arcade - PR4 -> PR3
BlandadeKlipp.se - PR2 -> PR3
Next time I will make sure that I am going to get a rank of 5, it will sure help me a lot when selling ads even though Page Rank is not the most important thing.
Google acquires DoubleClick
Yesterday Google announced that they have agreed to acquire DoubleClick Inc., a global leader in digital marketing technology and services, for $3.1 billion cash.
MSN was reported to be in a bidding war with Google to acquire this company, but as in a lot of other big buys, Google comes out as the winner.
With this buy Google, gets a hold of DoubleClicks advertising software, their customers and their network.
This is interesting news and it really shows that these big acqusitions will keep coming. It is good being a web entrepreneur these days. When is it my turn?
Google changes their official ad format
The small changes that has been seen on Adsense ads the last few months has now been officially changed. According to Googles blog, Inside Adsense, the ads are not only more good looking but their research has shown that these ads perform much better.
Below you can see the difference
My first impression is that it looks better than before, and I really think that it can get better results, lets hope it works well for this blog.
