So much for relevancy, eh? I just tried the search ("pro blogger"). You're back at #1. The Google "redirect" was at #5. Good luck getting to the bottom of this. So much for relevancy, eh?

Oddly enough, I can not find a single "real" blogger.com URL with a page rank higher than 8. Did anyone else notice that there are several broken links on the pro.blogger/google page?

Things like the navbar wasn't there, changing the timestamp was one of the features, as was the comments. This was before Blogger was bought by google. I had 3 months left of my pro.blogger account when Google bought it (and when they did, all features became free), but they sent me tons of blogger goodies to call it even.

It does seem a bit unfair how any of their own pages will automatically have at least a 9/10 page rank, but they were the ones smart enough to establish their system first?

Pointing that sub-domain to a google search page is not really relevant i i have to admit! They should probably point it to blogger (or to blog search or something) "Google search is a more relevant tool for bloggers than blogger.com?" haha, that made me laugh!!! :) *note to self: I never tried to manipulate google in any way.. but maybe I should start, since i can't win the game, I might as well play by their rules!

Go to this site, http://avoyagetoarcturus.blogspot.com/ and scroll down to the end of the left hand sidebar. You'll see a little "Powered by Pro Blogger" logo. The image is linked to "http://pro.blogger.com/" Apparently there are just over 1.4 million of these image links still out there. Mysery solved.

Seems that a lot of Blogger sites must still have a link to it, that's probably why they put a Google search box up there, just to catch the traffic from those links. It certainly explains why they would outrank even Problogger.net for the term. I don't think it's a conspiracy. It has a PR of 9 because it has 1.4 million backlinks!
