As we all know that Google has done its major PageRank update on early March. Moreover, the result for me is great, because this blog's PR has jump from 1 to 3. I was surprise when I knew that my blog rewarded by the big G. However, get along with surprising feeling; I have a big question about how Google compute the entire site PR in the internet?

When I heard that the PageRank update would be conduct on early March, I was not curious of it. Since this blog was not update regularly and I didn't have massive back links, I just thought that I am lucky if my blog's PR still the same. Another reason why I am not expecting it, because I thought I have too many out linking (since this blog is do follow) if it compared with back link from another blog. Those reasons made me conclude that this blog isn't going to get higher rank than it was before.

Thankfully, what I thought is wrong. But still, the question mark still appeared about how this blog's PageRank jumped from 1 to 3. Does anyone know how does Google compute the PageRank? And how this blog's PR jump from 1 to 3 without regular post? I am please if you want to share it with me.

Free eBook Review; Make Money Blogging

Every blogger master always recommended on their blogging tips to give away freebies for all the readers. The most common freebies that usually distributed free by most of blogger and internet marketer is ebook. By giving away free ebook, you will gain more exposure and as well as promotion for your blog and/or product.

I am trying to review every free ebook that I can find on the blogosphere. I will review them one by one, from the design through their contents. Of course, with my own style of review but I promise it will be an honest review.

In this first ebook review post, I reviewed Daniel Scocco's Make Money Blogging ebook. As you know, Daniel Scocco is one of the successful blogger. In one of his famous blog (dailyblogtips.com), he gives away free ebook for his newsletter subscribers.

In this book, Daniel sharing his knowledge about how to make money from blog. What I like about this ebook is, He described it in clear writing skill that easy to understand for newbie blogger, like me. He uses plain English, which is not confusing to understand.

The content. Daniel wrote the subject of this ebook in systematic order. He explains how to make money blogging from the scratch, from choosing the blog platform, throughout the stage of making money. The idea flowing from one chapter to another in a good transition, it makes me read the whole ebook continuously, without stopping by. I find enjoyable reading it, because of it, I understand now, making money from blog need time and hard effort.

However, there is one element of an ebook, which this ebook doesn't have, which is, Table of Content. I don't know why Daniel didn't put it. Can you explain it Daniel?

The design. I think the design of this ebook is too simple. The images are common (you can find this kind of images in istockphoto.com), although they are eye catching but they are not unique. Moreover, I think that the page margin of this ebook is too small, too much white space on the left side. I guess, it will be nice if the white space filled with wonderful background image (like a twitter background, maybe).

Conclusion; as free ebook, the making money blogging is good. I give it 4 points in the scale of five, for the writing and the subject. However, for the design, I give it 2 points in the scale of five.

If you have read the ebook, you may agree or disagree with my review. I love to have your comments. For those, who are not reading this book yet, you can download the book of "Make Money Blogging" in dailyblogtips.com.
