Seraphim Proudleduck Lottery

As previously mentioned, the Seraphim Proudleduck lottery will for the moment be for $50 out of my own pocket only. However, any future money I still receive from competiton creator Shaun O’Connor (who owns Google Blogoscoped £1000), will be awarded to the same person now winning the lottery for $50.

If you know more about Shaun O’Connor, please let us know.
Update: It seems I have Shaun’s home address now.
Update 2: Shaun emailed me.

And, decided by a randomizer script applied on 75 tickets, the winner is:

Kevin Wallace

Congratulations!

PageRank Changes

Check your Google PageRank for the new year – if these are global fluctuations, your sites may be affected as well. As for myself, I have some ups and downs (one PageRank 6 site went down to PageRank 5), but I’m immensely happy to find Google Blogoscoped with a fresh PageRank 7. This counts for both blog.outer-court.com and blog.outer-court.com/index.html, so if you ever wondered if Google understands when “index.html” is the default page for a directory, this answers it.

On a related matter, I had a learning experience with how well permanent redirects inherit PageRank – well, they don’t. A while ago I integrated blog.outer-court.com/news.php into Feeeds and set up a permanent redirect (301) to www.feeeds.com/search/. I was curious to see whether or not the old PageRank of 6 would simply be transferred to the new Feeeds page, but it wasn’t: the Feeeds search page now has a PageRank of 3.
