Asian Tiger

Chance has it that I was invited for dinner at a Rebecca’s house one day. As I parked my car outside her gates and got down from the car, ever ready to devour food, I heard loud rumbling sounds. At first, I thought it was my tummy but as it turns out, the rumble came from the sky; threatening to let go of its forceful liquids.

It was dusk by the time I reach Rebecca’s and I looked up at the sky towards the rumbling direction. The sky was dark and had an eerie dark-bluish clouds looming above. With the sun setting in it’s orangy galore, it was simply picture perfect. Thankfully, my camera was with me and I got to work immediately.

Unfortunately, I do not have a tripod with me and therefore, had to tuck in my elbows, stopped breathing and captured the moment below. This is my Malaysia.

As I was getting ready to pull out of the Penang roadside parking, an aged old man got off his bicycle and made it lean against the white walls of a colonial building right next to my car.
With deliberate movement of his muscle, he bends to lock his bicycle wheels to deter thieves from taking away his only probable mode of transportation. After putting on the chains and double checking the padlock, the old man takes a good look at me; as if to determine if I could be a potential bicycle thief.

Satisfied that I am no threat to his precious bicycle, he walks slowly into one of the many little shops along the road. When the old man is out of sight, I took out my camera and took a single photograph of his bicycle in black and white.

Many webmasters are obsessed with Google’s Pagerank technology and often misconceptualise thtat PageRank equals to quality. Indeed, I had that “mighty” equation (that dwarfed Einstein’s E=MC²) in my head when I started out as a webmaster.

As time goes by and with the help of forums such as DigitalPoint, I start to realise and experience that web traffic is much much more important than PageRank. However, many continue to dwell in the realms of PageRank and indeed many wants to achieve high levels for their sites.

Some of the ways to get high PR is through the buying of advertising links on high PageRank sites. The ad link does not come cheap and there are those who were conned into buying fake PageRanks. If you are one who invests a lot in this strategy, it is always good to check the authenticity of the PageRank.

I use the above tool to check whether a PageRank is genuine or otherwise. You can give it a try by specifying the URL you want to check or simply click on the link and specify the URL in the browser-displayed textbox. The result provided by the tool is self explanatory.
