My Site Has Pagerank 3! Do I Still Need To Build Links?
I thought this Q&A email conversation would be useful to others when it comes to understanding pagerank and link building – so here we go:
—————————————-
Hi Tomaz,
I just realized that my site is now a PR3! Just wanted to share. 
Earlier this year I made some major changes to my site. Instead of focusing on the “keyword”, I now focus only on the “long tail keyword” (a specific model) and I’ve expanded to include “another keyword”.
Over time I expect my site to be only 20% “keyword” and 80% “another keyword”. I was initially concerned that this might be a problem because Google might have trouble figuring out my site concept.
However this is not the case. I’m receiving lots of searches for “another keyword” related keywords. So this seems to be working well. Read more

Marius from marathon-training-schedule.com
Special thanks to Marius Bakken from marathon-training-schedule.com for being the first SBI-er to share his story on my blog. My questions to Marius are in bold…
1. Why did you decide for SBI?
I first heard about SBI in 1999 when I bough Ken’s hardcover “Make Your Site Sell” book on how to build a website. I signed up to his newsletter all the way back in 2000 and have been on it since, but only eventually gave in a little over a year ago to sign up
In the meantime I ran a personal site called mariusbakken.com. It did well but I wanted a more business type approach to building a website. So I finally decided for the SBI solution when I had some time to follow that idea. Read more

Mastering The Pagerank Flow
Chances are that your website has a nice little green bar at the top, which indicates that you have some Google pagerank (PR).
The pagerank passes from page to page in a complicated mathematical formula.
In general, every subpage has a pagerank value of one point less than the page above it.
For example, if your homepage has a PR of 4, then your main pages, which are linked from your homepage, will have a PR of 3, and all their subpages will have a PR of 2.
