So you want to be a GENERAL you can forget that :)

This post was inspired by trying to explain what page rank is and what certain ranks are worth in terms of traffic,money and props etc to someone who doesn’t blog a “civilian”

1 Generals(PR10) like in the Army are very few-Google,Yahoo,Microsoft,YouTube are really the only REAL Generals.So no person online will ever be a general so let’s just move on

2 Colonels-(PR9)Very powerful everyone knows you don’t mess with a Colonel or Lt Colonel they can eliminate you on the spot they’re worth millions and a few examples would be AOL a former General but got demoted for outsmarting themself.Some other Colonels would be MYspace .Facebook is bucking to be a general. Stickham and on and on you get the picture:)

3 LIEUTENANT,Majors(PR8-7) -these sites are where we start picking up the bloggers,and people that are authorities in their field.They have been around for a while it is at this rank that is very important to note.A person at this level can live off their blog/sites income and now the money reference comes in.A HIGH ranking LT would be DOOCE.com ,John Chow Shoemoney most of them have the same skills as anyone online right now they just were there first.They have time on their side.They are having their time now they’re running the show.Out of all these people I think the only Colonel that will come out of this group is Darren from Problogger and Heather from Dooce.com . The rest have had their time and are subject to RETIREMENT-

3 Captains(PR6-8) a good example of a Captain would be sites like Blogcatalog,Spice whatever it is,ones like that their strong but vulnerable.Look at entrecard and technorati I would not invest in their stock no wait technorati is actually fooling people and launching a all out move to be a General- nice try,they better get used to being a Colonel before a General just eliminates them period. I see Blogcatalog could be a Colonel but they have some issues.I have faith in them and they will launch an all out bid to be a Colonel,it’s possible we shall see.Captains are very vulnerable to buy outs burn out plaid out .They have to be AGGRESSIVE with their vision or they will get broadsided.They usually have an air of cockiness to their peril.Some examples are  in the real world . All the millions of Americans who were blessed with good fortune for many many many years at great companies.They got cocky now they want someone to feel sorry they can’t make a 3,200 dollar mortgage,well back to BOOT CAMP BROTHER

4 Sgt’s(PR4-5) This is my favorite-these are the people that fuel the internet,savy ones can make it on their monthly income.Sgt’s make a modest 1,000-2000 a month pretty good huh ?I’m looking to be a Sgt by the end of the Summer.It’s not hard it just takes a lot of work.Basically every active blogger on their own domain is a SGT you might be a Staff making 500 a month or a Buck 750 first Sgt 1000 or a Command Sgt Major and they are the real boss if your PR is 5 you make 2000 a month or more from your Blog then your a COMMAND SGT MAJOR also by now you should know enough SEO so you don’t have to ask anyone to come check out my blog,you don’t have to surf for traffic or kiss up to other bloggers to get a little love.The traffic comes to u You know the system-but be warned SGTS have to kiss up plenty they just don’t know it or pretend like their comment was genuine I’m guilty of this I have to admit.Because basically Sgt’s can’t handle the TRUTH:)Let Jack tell you for me

5 Privates-everyone else

Private first class a dude that doesn’t make NADA is blogging the last 9 months and his google is $34.32.This guy suffers the cold shoulder from the SGTS and waste a lot of time trying to figure out what the hell is going on

OK now you think this is a corny post I agree but I wanted to cross relate the two:)

Also now that we all “KNOW” Obama is going to be President,I know your first thought was to go comment on his blog,but more importantly the “war” will be over soon.Once again a lot of people will have money and a lot of privates will be signing online for the first  time what RANK do you plan on being ?Please feel free to leave a comment on your thoughts on this crazy post  and specify your RANK Thank YOU -THAT’S an order!!!!!
