You bet it is! To have no knowledge of websites and then set one up, get links, write copy, keep reading that content is king all the time and see that ‘Google’s view of the importance of this page is 0/10′ is seriously depressing.
Today, three months after starting this website and 90 plus related posts, I now have a google pagerank of 1/10 and it feels good! Never before did I ever think that getting 1/10 would provide such joy. It probably won’t last though as I’m now more interested in 2/10 but at least I now know google is watching and finds something valuable in my site.
2/10 here we come!
