Google goes for total web dominance with Google Chrome, their exclusive NEW! web browser. This browser is aimed at video, javascript code, and rich media content along with text. It is also open source and allegedly very fast loading. It is set for release on Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008.

Among Chrome’s features is a special privacy mode that lets users create an “incognito” window where “nothing that occurs in that window is ever logged on your computer.” This is a read-only feature with access to one’s bookmarks of favorite sites.

If you go to the URL for Google Chrome you will receive a 404 error page, it is NOT YET AVAILABLE. You have to wait till tomorrow Tuesday to view, test, and download.

Google Chrome is a major smack in the face to Firefox, and the upcoming IE8 from Microsoft. Something tells me Google is taking over the interwebs. Amazing dominance.

As you may know by now, the big G has completed its quarterly update, and as usual, caused a tidal wave of discussion and uproar.

Several of my fellow blogger friends, wrote a post on their blog, with their comments and thoughts on the infamous pagerank update. There was the fat cupcake eater or is it the kid who eats fat cupcakes, who wrote on his rise to PR 3 in 7 weeks. Then there was the British bloke who has an affiliate blog, but rarely writes on affiliate marketing, who got his cherry popped with a PR 2.

Then there is the crazy American who can sell ice (and ebooks) to (blind) eskimos, who came in with a respectable PR 2. And how can i forget the site flipper cum laude, SuiteJ, who flipped his first blog in record time, and made an impressive profit. Well done, Jay.

As for me (with my army of blogs), some went down from a PR 2 to PR 1. One shot up to a PR 3, and two others stayed at PR 2. So quite a mixed bag. Oh! and this one, my network blog, stayed at PR 3. Final shout out goes to the most prolific blogger i know, no, not Darren Rowse, but Max from Zedomax.

The guy is a blogging machine. Take a look here, here, here, and here.

Why did G34 Media Stay At PR 3?

It is my belief that G34 Media stayed at PR 3, because i didn’t actively seek out backlinks. Plus this past quarter i didn’t write much on it, so in turn not many link opportunities were availed of. As you know pagerank is all about (quantity and quality) of backlinks.

Anyways, that is my theory.

What Are Your Goals For The October 2008 PR Update?

My goals for the next rank update include:

• writing more valuable articles
• having bi-weekly contests
• actively seek out backlink opportunities via various methods
• and basically just step it up a notch.

My overall (short and long term goals) revolve around making and sustaining an online income of around $3000 a month.

Currently my MMO projects include:

Blogging

Freelance Writing

Domains

Site Flipping

Via the 4 MMO projects mentioned above, i will take stock in December 2008, and see where im at. Am i meeting, exceeding, or not making my goals? We will see, and as usual i will provide regular updates here, so you can follow along.
