Too many people put a ot of effort into trying to do the best job possible to build their blog and then fail to keep track of the up-time. All the work you do is pretty much wasted if you let it be 'sown' for hours at a time. If people come and find your blog 'dead' they may never return ... your chance to engage tem is lost forever. Something else that is related very closely if the time to load the first page that a visitor comes to see. Pingdom has an additional free service that I use frequently ... it shows how long a page takes to load and how much time each individual component on that page contributes to the overall wait. This is important for overall visitor satisfaction ... ideally a page should load in the blink of an eye ... but different gurus and even some hints and tips from Google themselves indicate that load time is part of the overall page rank algorithm. Obviously,none of us knows for _sure_ what the "G" evalates ... folks like Matt Cutts have stated there are perhaps hundreds of individual "signals" that the algorithm measures ... but it makes good sense that page load time is likely an important factor. Using the Pingdom tool you will see significant difference between different blog themes, fo example, and you can watch the load times increase as you enable more and more plug-ins ... so one of my 2010 resolutions is to decrease blog load times by at least 25%, and Pingdom has already shown me several options to make that happen. As the great Vince Lombardi 'didn't" say, "Load time isn't everything, it's the only thing." Have a profitable, health and speedy 2010.... An excellent article, Daniel.
