<p>Change is good, change is healthy and it makes things pleasant. SyedAqeel.com is a 2 year old blog and I admit that I had not justified my efforts for it. Its time for change at this blog in terms of design, writing frequency and marketing efforts. Blog needed a decent layout, we had used default Thesis layout for last 2 years. Finally I decided to to give it its new look. In past 1 week our designer Nasir Hayyat was busy working at new design and its finally online now. You can see new design now and give us some insight at how it can be further enhanced.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not taking this design change as just a design change, I&#8217;m taking it as an attitude change. Long awaited design change is made to evolve this blog and take it to next level.</p>
<p>Please let us know how do you find it.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="dropcap-first">1 year back Google changed how it handles no-follow tag but they have now made this change public. The change is to stop &#8220;PageRank Sculpting&#8221;. PageRank sculpting, is the process of using the nofollow attribute internally to change the PageRank flow among different pages. The objective is to give more PageRank value to some pages (the ones that sell something, for example) at the expense of less important pages (the Privacy Policy or Terms of Service, for example).</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Google’s Matt Cutts sent a shockwave through the advanced SEO community by saying that site owners could no longer perform “PageRank sculpting” using the nofollow tag in the way they’d previously thought. Now Matt’s posted more explanation about the change.</p>
<p>Here is a quote from <a href="http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/pagerank-sculpting/" target="_blank">that post</a> that summarizes the change:</p>
<blockquote><p>So what happens when you have a page with “ten PageRank points” and ten outgoing links, and five of those links are nofollowed? Originally, the five links without nofollow would have flowed two points of PageRank each (in essence, the nofollowed links didn’t count toward the denominator when dividing PageRank by the outdegree of the page). More than a year ago, Google changed how the PageRank flows so that the five links without nofollow would flow one point of PageRank each.</p></blockquote>
<p>Daniel Socco at <a href="http://www.dailyblogtips.com/google-changed-how-it-handles-nofollow-and-how-it-might-affect-blogs/" target="_blank">DailyBlogTips</a> has given an excellent explanation of this change and how it is going to effect us.</p>
<blockquote><p>In other words, the usage of the nofollow attribute will still stop the page that is being linked to from receiving PageRank and anchor text value, but the PageRank that is being “saved” with the nofollow links won’t flow to the other links present in the linking page.</p></blockquote>
<p>Google want to stop PageRank Sculpting, its fine but this change is negatively effecting bloggers. This change is going to encourage blog spam and also pages will have low PR. All the links on your comment section are reducing the PageRank that would otherwise flow to your internal pages. Google might do something to fix this problem, but we still got to hear about it.</p>
<p>Is there any solution to this problem? You might close your comments section that is not a reasonable thing to do. Or you can use an iframe or Javascript based solution to keep comments out of same page.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re using WordPress you can edit your theme to remove commentators URL.</p>
<p>Do you have any solution? Share it with us in our comments section.

<p>Amazon.com <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/05/13/kindle-publishing-now-open-to-all-blogs/">opened up</a> their <a rel="nofollow" href="https://kindlepublishing.amazon.com/">Kindle publishing program</a> to all bloggers.</p>
<p>All you have to do is make your blog’s feed available to the <a href="http://syedaqeel.com/go/kindle/">Kindle</a> Store, and Amazon will do the rest, formatting your content for the device. According to the email from Amazon, after a few easy steps, your blog should be up and ready to go in the Kindle Store after about 12 to 48 hours of processing. Not bad.</p>
<p>Publishers get 60 cents per month per subscriber. So likely it kindle can become your new income stream. But unfortunately, even if you want to, you can’t give your blog away for free on the device.
