The Reason For This Blog

Not ads, not for rants (ok, while maybe that), but the real deeper reason is for SEO.
     So I wanted to make a blog where I could write about anything. I have two other blogs, but they are pretty specific and so they don't allow for much creativity outside the main blog's topic. Those two blogs are: Randomsurveydata.blogspot.com and Trafficstudy.blogspot.com. So I made this third blog so I could make random posts about anything that came to mind, with no real over all theme. This could make for some interesting posts. It is for this reason that posting this stuff online can help with idea collaboration and exploring new areas of interest that could be worth pursuing. You may also notice the advertisements, which is another reason why this blog exists. However, above these two reasons for existing, the real reason this blog exists is for Search Engine Optimization. I have been very interested in Google Page Rank ever since I have heard about it. Heres a good paper on it that goes into some of the cool math behind it, for those of you who are interested: How Google Ranks Web Pages by Brian White.
    Search Engine optimization has to do with "optimizing" a website to get it to be the number one on google (and bing, etc.). This is not an easy task, because to be number 1, you usually have to be a legitimate website, with real content. Not only that, you also need links pointing to your website. And not just any links from any old website, but links from legitimate websites like cnn.com, wikipedia (preferably from webpages with a higher page rank than your own). This blog is an attempt to start with a page rank of N/A (or 0) and climb it's way up past the number 3. Well see what happens.
