Hi everyone,

June started promisingly with David Wallace interviewing me for the prestigious Search Engine Watch (http://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/article.php/3361241) newletter and site. The full interview was subsequently published at Pandia (http://www.pandia.com/sw-2004/22-gimpsy.html) among other places.

That followed with the achievement of a symbolic milestone, when we celebrated the registration of the 5,000th user! And then, just as June draws to a close, Google has upped our PR to 7.

This is very good news for site owners in Gimpsy. The unique categorisation model provides a very 'shallow' directory structure (never more than 4 levels deep). Thus, the PR on even the 'lowest' levels is noticeable. We expect that many more sites will be able to see their backlinks from Gimpsy, like www.theblackwhitegroup.com (http://www.google.com/search?num=30&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&newwindow=1&safe=active&c2coff=1&q=www.theblackwhitegroup.com+-site%3Awww.theblackwhitegroup.com). Interestingly, the two links from Gimpsy are first, with the just a PR of 3 on the page. Usually, Google shows only links from pages with a PR of 4 and above.

That's it for now. :cool:

That's all very positive news, MC :)

But if I can clarify one thing you wrote: the search you link to for the blackwhite group isn't the kind that's normally limited to PR4 and higher pages. That would be link:www.theblackwhitegroup.com (http://www.google.com/search?q=link:www.theblackwhitegroup.com&num=30&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&newwindow=1&c2coff=1&safe=active&filter=0)

As always, Bob, you are probably right! :)

I guess we can conclude that the string I used allows the web master to see a more complete picture of the links his site currently has in Google.

Thanks for the good vibes everyone!

Is it yours?
I am not sure if you mean the idea - or the actual pet? :)

To see some info about it at Gimpsy (http://www.gimpsy.com/gimpsy/doc/faq/faq_overview.php#1), but a latest review has a different spin on it ... Please welcome Hindustan Times (http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_834887,00030007.htm):

It's named 'Gimpsy' after a late piggy pet whose scholar-cap toting caricature is the only visual intrusion on the homepage's sparse, uncluttered interface.

Cheers!:cool:
