Abstract
A comparative study is made between Arabic and English Blogs. The difference between Arabic and English blogs starts with their Pagerank. The question to answer in this paper is "Do the Arab blogger benefits from the search engine optimizer properties or not?" In other words does the user cares for Pagerank? This question rises after the fame that the social media in general and blogs in specific have played during the political changes in Middle East region. Using a corpus of Arabic & English blogs, their content & link properties that effect the Pagerank score to answer the question (to prove or deny whether our assumption is true or not). The results obtained showed that there is a huge difference between Arabic & English blogs in terms of Page rank and content.
