I’ve been notified by a couple of people that a Google PR update is happening/has happened - and this time I’m in the good :D
A few updates ago my website PhotoshopStar went down from 5 to 4 and stayed like that, but now it’s back up to 5! Must be those few naughty links I […]

When people go to the trouble of putting in a lot of work to make something really cool (for us to use for free) we gotta try to give ‘em some link love! Right? Well, anyway, G56ogle. Wicked eh? I know for a fact that Google has a heap of domains like Gooooogle with extra […]

When you search for a (fairly) popular website name in Google you’ll sometimes see a set of navigation links underneath the main website listing. Well, I’ve had those for PhotoshopStar in Google for a while now, I just thought I’d post now coz it’s fairly interesting, and I have nothing else to post about ;)
Just […]

Did anyone else have to re-agree to the Google AdSense policy recently? Maybe they found out about my illegal wheelings and dealings … :|
Joking!
I hope they weren’t upset with the way I had my AdSense displayed on PhotoshopStar for the last week or so, I changed that just then though.

I just stole this from Jon Wheatley’s blog. The process of making one of those neat Google ‘doodles’ that replace the logo for a day at a time.

Well, PhotoshopStar is now #1 for the Google search term Free Photoshop Tutorials, but that’s no where near as good as my #4 position for Photoshop Tutorials. Strange thing though, traffic quality from the search term including ‘free’ seems to be better quality … more pageviews, lower bouncerate, etc.
Anyway… I’m looking at getting a new […]

Looks like a Google PageRank update is in progress, and all of my sites have gone down. PhotoshopStar is now PR4, and eliburford.com is now PR2 (d’oh!)
I really don’t normally care about or notice these things, but someone had to go and tell me a PR update was in progress and then I get the […]

Well, it seems to be getting close to that time of year again, Christmas, so my now one-year-old Photoshop tutorial, Designing a Festive Christmas-Themed Template is making its way back up to the top of most visited tutorials again… somehow.
It seems to be getting a bit of traffic from Google in particular, see, check out […]

Yep, I’ve finally managed to get myself on page 1 of Google.com for the phrase photoshop tutorials!
I’m really happy about this, seeing as though I was stuck on page 2 for a matter of months, now I’m just hoping that it doesn’t go and drop back to page 3 or something absurd straight away ;) […]

Well, technically I’ve been reaching new records for a long time now, but 500+ is a more interesting number to blog about, right. Right? Anyway, I just checked my statistics for PhotoshopStar and noticed that for the last two days I received more than 500 visits from Google searches, not bad! :)
PhotoshopStar is doing pretty […]
