SEO Experiment - Page Rank Update

Here's the current page ranks for all pages listed in Google for the SEO experiment sites, a bit late updating today because of access problems, so only a quick post:

Site 2

October - car-hire-malaga-tips-to-hire-car-in.html

Of note, is that there are more pages with page rank on the site not using target="_blank" than the site with it, but even though site 1 should not have any links, three pages do have page rank 0. It's a little confusing that sub posts have a higher page rank than the home page on site 3 - as I've said before, this is mos likely due to RSS sindication and maybe these posts have been syndicated and link back to the test sites. That's probably how two of the posts on site 1 are page rank 0.

The big difference is the home Page Ranks and the archive Page Ranks. Would much rather be site 2 than either of the other two.

Maybe it's time to drop target="_blank" when we are link exchanging.
