Posted by Dan on April 2, 2010 at 7:09 pm **Update – The King Contest is no more, but I left this post in place to give credit to John
John Halderman! You probably know John as the guy who usually interviews the winner of the King contest, but this month he won it himself, by submitting just two excellent articles to promote his new book “The DNA of Success Stories”.
John Halderman is a co-author of this book along with Jack Zufelf, Brian Tracy Jack Canfield and many more experts. It is a sequel Jack Zufelt’s to the #1 best seller “The DNA of Success” and it sure to be a top seller itself, it’s already receiving excellent reviews.
You can pick up the book at a great price at John’s site

I have yet to speak to John about winning the contest, and I was in two minds about allowing him to be “King”, as people may feel that this is contrived to help with the book launch, but it really wasn’t.
John does not work for Article-Content-King.com, he has never been paid for doing the interviews or helping out with the site, he does it because he is a nice guy. Really… no-one deserves to be King of Article Content King this month more than John Halderman. He has won because of his writing, and he wrote because of the book launch. It’s the members who decided, not me. I didn’t even rate his articles. So I would be totally wrong to say “Hey John, because you help out so much, you can’t be King”.
King of Article-Content-King is John Halderman. If you would like to interview HIM about winning the King contest, or just about his new book, I am sure he would oblige. You can read more about John Halderman by visiting his profile page.
Don’t forget to submit your best articles to Article Content King this month to have a chance of winning the prize next month.

What is the importance of Google Page Rank?
Google has just started a Page Rank update and the SEO forums are buzzing, even though almost everyone is saying that Page Rank does not mean anything anymore?
I don’t know how true that is, it still causes quite a stir when Google updates page rank. Everyone is interested to know whether their web site’s Home Page Rank has gone up or down. They are all happy if it has gone up and disappointed if it has gone down, even though they tell themselves that Google Page rank does not matter any more.
I think it does, the basic principle that page rank is some indicator of the “strength” of a web site and that links from stronger sites can make for better search engine rankings and higher page rank for your site is still logical, if not accurate.
Some say that Google display one thing (Page Rank) and use a different system to rank websites. Whether or not this is true, Page Rank is still important, especially for a website like Article Content King. I’m really pleased that the home page of Article Content King has increased in Page rank from a 3 to a 4.
Most Article Marketers judge article directories on at least 3 things.
- The Home Page’s Page Rank
- The Website’s Alexa Rank
- The quality of the content published.
Having a Page Rank of 4 instead of a Page Rank of 3 could make a big difference to this site. Even if it has no effect at all on our search engine rankings directly, it will have an indirect effect if more people are attracted to the site to submit their unique articles, which they will be, because we have a higher page rank now and that is important to them.
I hope that it is important to search engine rankings too and that you get more traffic to your articles on this site as a result of the increased page rank, but even if it has no bearing here at all, your articles will likely still get more traffic as there will be more traffic into the site. You can submit 2 articles for free, every day at Article Content King. If you’re not a member yet, click here to submit your articles.
