Hey, i am really happy.. The domain had been with me for some time but only last month I started developing the website. I didn't expect such good Pr after the first month may be if luck is on my side ..PR1. Not only that, I am coming first for google search for 'Plant pages'. I don't know if it is 'Reverse Sand box effect' as i read in some seo blogs. I didn't do large scale link building..but naturally along the course of the month. Also i did try to keep my website clean with little ads. I updated the content frequently over the month. I tried to take part in some forums and has my link as signature. I got some traffic as well and not high. Alexa rank is now 4,24,572. All the traffic are genuine not from any traffic generation sources. I hope this will be an inspiration for all new webmasters. No need to Worry too much.. it will happen naturally. That is what I found out..

Thanks a lot for your encouragement. I am a science post graduate... actually physics. But I always had a fascination for plants. That resulted in this website.
