When I first started this blog in December of 2006 one of my goals was to reach a google page rank of at least a 3. I researched how to gain a higher page rank and I worked hard at writing posts with good content and aquiring links to my blog.  I was so happy when I learned just a few months later that this blog was given a page rank of 3 which helped me to be able to write more posts that I would get paid for.

Several months ago, as many paid bloggers know, Google took away the page ranks of most bloggers who were involved with writing sponsored posts. I was sad about this because the money I make blogging really makes a difference to my family’s financial situation as my husband is still a student and I thought that my days of being able to be paid to write blog posts would soon be over.

In our wonderful free market world, things always evolve and the people over at Izea realized that google should not be the only ones to dictate a blog’s rank in the blogosphere. Izea worked hard to develop a Real Rank which ranks blogs based on traffic, influence and links.

I believe that the Real Rank is a lot more accurate than the google page rank as some blogs have hardly any content and have a higher page rank than other blogs that are a lot more influential. Find out your Real Rank at IzeaRanks.com! Mine seems to fall anywhere from top 30% to 60% depending on my traffic for that week.
