Page Rank is Back

My page rank took a big hit when I moved my home url from the blog.ideoplex.com sub-domain to the main ideoplex.com domain back in June. I was beginning to think that it wasn’t going to come back.

I’m sure that it was just a coincidence, but after setting my preferred domain to ideoplex.com in Google’s Webmaster Tools my home page rank rose from 2 to 5. Not quite the 6 that I had before the move, but I was blogging much more frequently back then.

Coincidences aside, I’ve always known that most of my readers come for my Java Tutorials as a result of a Google search. But I’ve never really understood my search terms until now:
