: Stackexchange vs Personal Blog - Pagerank Competition As you can see I'm using my real name on every StackExchange site including stackoverflow.com. Given an unspecific time period, is it possible

@Kristi941

My personal site outranks every other profile I have on the Web including SO. So the answer to your question is yes.

Profile pages in themselves don't tend to carry much weight so you should be able to outrank them all with your personal blog pretty quickly. I looked through the first few pages of results and only saw profile listings. Beyond linking all of these profiles to your blog and getting other links you may want to look at the content of your blog, often using your name as the domain gives you an exact match domain which will help you rank, but you'll also want to make sure there is content using your name on the site so the search engines will know it's about you. (This sounds like common sense but you'd be surprised how many people have sites about themselves and never use their name once in the content).

And when you have a certain rank, the link in your profile to your blog will no longer be marked as nofollow.

Add a link to your personal blog from your user profile - this link will be marked up with the "me" relationship and should contribute to an improved ranking for your personal site when people search for information about you.

It wouldn't hurt to develop other links to your personal site, as well - consider creating a Google Profile.
