What happens if you lose PR?

The perceived 'value' of your site goes down, but that is because many, many people (too many people) use PR as an indication of value - I think the smarter people will start to look at traffic figures and readership as an indication of value.

I believe in the long run, your content is the most important element, and the less relevant PR becomes, the less people will use it as an indication of value.

I think what is happening now is that bloggers must rethink whether they are looking for traffic or monetisation, Google is making it difficult to achieve both, if you want Google's SERP you have to bow to their rules. However this is not the only means of getting traffic. If you don't require traffic from Google, then SEO does not matter THAT much.
If you are totally traffic-oriented then you must be absolutely topical or mine a niche very thoroughly.
I have made a post on my main blog which examines closely the effect of losing PageRank on a website, I have looked at the statistics to work out if the PR drop (unjustified as far as I can see since the site in question does not pay for links at all) from a PR of 3 at the start of the year to a PR of 0 right now...

I have two blogs with which I have been more SEO conscious and these are designed around two niche areas. Of these sites, one has a PR of 2, and the other one is yet to be ranked. For these, I will be very careful about the content ensuring that posts are strictly in line with the niche, and careful about how I link to other sites, only choosing on-topic links. This will enable me to do very specific on-topic paid blog posts, and also sell text-links to on-topic sites. This is the more subtle paid-blogging which will replace the more blatant forms that we have become accustomed to.

The reason for this careful behaviour is that for these sites, I will require Google to send me traffic organically, one in particular reports on current events, and will frequently attract search engine traffic. This is not true of all blogs, and the key is deciding whether you need to model your blog along PR lines, or whether you can afford to ignore PR and plough your own furrow. Remember PR is not directly linked to traffic, it is only linked to traffic from search engines.

Survey on Celebrities in Politics

The latest dNeero survey concentrates on the hotting up of the US Presidential election race. The survey is concerned with the celebrity endorsements of specific candidates. Does it help?, does is hinder?, can it even do the celebrity some harm??

Google polices the internet

I was using my Google webmaster tools today when I noticed a link that I have not seen before 'report paid links' is what it said (I'm not sure if this link will work if you don't have a webmaster tools account - but if you don't - get one!!). Curious I clicked on it and there is a form giving me the opportunity to 'snitch' on someone who uses paid links to gain PageRank.
This is a fantastic way to destroy the effectiveness of your competitors websites!! (this comment loaded with ironic sarcasm - I'm not sure that there is an emoticon for that!). Personally I don't pay for links to my main website although I have linked from wherever I can including my own blogs, yet mysteriously my PR dropped from 3 to 2 and then 0 recently. (Not a blog, but a 'proper' website offering genuine information and a service to my clients). Have I been targetted by a competitor?? I was getting good search results for keywords, so maybe I have? I think that PR changes lately are all related to perceived paid linking, so it does seem a bit odd that this site with good stable content (and no paid links) has suddenly dropped PageRank completely - and I don't suppose there is any point in me complaining to the big G!!

Regular updating

Updating has become easier with the new blogger 'future post' facility, and I will be taking full advantage of the function. Having said that I am currently managing two web-sites and four blogs with varying degrees of success despite (apparently) being employed full-time. I have other projects that I would like to get off the ground, but in order to do that I would have to prune some activity somewhere.
Future posts will help to be able to make a raft of posts and then have them published automatically at a chosen time on a chosen date without having to visit the blogger dashboard. I certainly plan to take full advantage and use every means I can to keep juggling all the sites that I manage.

Extra money in your pocket

A rebate is on it's way into the pocket of millions of Americans, whilst some Britons are feeling the benefit of the '10p tax' issue, others (notably the worse off) will be suffering. If you have some extra money to spend, on what do you spend it?

Who are you?

Latest survey on identity from dNeero.
This is concerned with the concept of identity, which is a crucial element of blog and website promotion as your readers/viewers/visitors may identify with the personality, stance or concepts put forward.

PageRank

There is so much activity with sites and blogs losing PR lately that it is becoming very difficult to know what is acceptable to Google in recent times. I am sure that all the recent changes are to 'punish' those who Google think are paying for links. This could have a profound effect on the blogging world and those who have sought to 'exploit' the blogging phenomenon to place adverts either subtly or blatantly. It also surely has an effect on ANY web advertising. There are countless legitimate industry 'portal' sites that obviously accept adverts and obviously charge for the privilege - in many cases these sites are run by industry magazine publishers familiar with the concept of paid advertising. Will Google then slap all of these portals and all of those traders who advertise with them?
Where does this end?
Sadly, this ends with Google losing it's business model in a monopoly row - I say sadly because Google has been a fantastic model of what can be achieved with the world-wide web, but you can't allow one commercial enterprise that has it's fingers in the pie of web advertising (Adwords and Adsense) to regulate the traffic that may be driven to competitor websites. Google is too successful with it's search engine to allow it to manipulate search results with the objective of devaluing web advertising when Google itself promotes it's own web advertising products.
With the speed of change that the internet brings, I will be surprised if this is allowed to continue for much more than another twelve months.

Surveys for charity

In case I didn't mention this before, dNeero surveys actually offer you the chance to donate some of your earnings to charity each time you take a survey. The trouble is that less people are doing this now. The survey below asks why, I believe that with the growing credit crunch, people are more desperate than ever for extra income. For myself, I think once I have been paid out for the first time, I will donate money from the very next survey...

Travel Blog

Traveling is one of my favourite pastimes, though with things being tight financially, it has been a few years since I have been able to grab my passport and head out into the world. You can read about my travels in my new blog 'Really Traveling'. I have employed my experience thus far to create a fresh new blog which I hope will be a vehicle for building traffic and furthering my blogging experiments and experience. Please take a look and leave a (do-follow) comment or even 'digg' a story for me. Thanks

Join a forum

One of the most effective ways to learn about internet marketing, SEO or any subject you could possibly choose is to join an online forum. There are forums covering every subject you could possible be interested in for music to photography, soccer to swingball... Someone somewhere will have started a forum that covers your subject.
There are many reasons to join including the learning experience, and the social aspects, but also the opportunity to post links to your sites and build up visitor stats.
I have joined a few forums recently, some of them niche, but one in particular is a general forum as much for social reasons as for advice or help. I have been a member of mmmtalk forum for a while now, and it is the forum on which I am most active, most of the members and admin are involved in work at home schemes. If you are not a member of any forums, mmmtalk is a great forum to get started with, and if you are a member of niche forums, consider joining mmmtalk if only to meet a sociable bunch of people who are interested in seeing your work and visiting your site.

Many families plan to step down from the property ladder

According to a recent report many families in the UK are doing the opposite of what many first time buyers have been trying to do for many years – taking a step down from the property ladder. It is thought that those expressing an interest in doing this are hoping to sell their homes before property prices fall too much, and are then planning to rent a home until property prices fall low enough for them to purchase another home at an affordable price.

In a recent survey around 18% of those planning to sell up said that they were thinking about moving into rented accommodation for a while so that they could see what happened with house prices before they purchased again, and hopefully would be able to buy at a much lower price. There have been a number of house price falls over recent months, and a recent report indicated that house price growth had fallen to its lowest level in twelve years.

One of the main reasons for these moves has been the arrival of the worldwide credit crucnh affecting the ability to get a mortgage and the general cutback of loans.

However, industry expert warned that those hoping to sell high and buy low needed to be cautious, stating: 'It's a dangerous game to speculate on the property market with your own home and is not for the faint-hearted. The average property has to fall around 7% in value before you even break even once you take all the costs of selling, moving and then buying again into account. Stamp duty is the biggest cost. For people in more expensive homes, the market has to fall further still - nearer 8%. So you need the market to drop a very long way before this starts to look like an attractive prospect.'

Play Some Cooking Games With Your Kid Now

There are many cooking games for kids on the World Wide Web these days but are they even near to the real thing? Does it truly matter if it’s still pleasurable for your child? Children like to imitate adults’ daily chores such as doing the laundry, driving a car and you have to bet cooking is one of them too! Apparently we don’t actually enjoy doing them but they are out of the ordinary experiences for kids who might be “trying” them out for their very first time. And of course parents don’t typically permit their kid to do the original thing for obvious reasons but rather use replacements like toys to mock up these activities for him or her. Place your child in front of the computer and watch him or her turn into a mini chef!

There is a diversity of cooking games available on the Internet which doesn’t cost a thing to play. The games with minimal hassle can be played right away on your browser. Interaction comes in form of using the mouse, keyboard or a combination of both. As some games can get very large in size, broadband is certainly recommended for fast loadings.

A particular cooking game that caught my interest is about making breakfast- the most vital meal of the day. In this game, the child must beat a couple of eggs by moving the egg beater with the mouse in a circular motion. He or she then proceeds to create an omelet out of it on the cooking pan. This is one excellent of what a kid could learn- “Now I know how mummy makes them!” Another sort of cooking game worth mentioning integrates the elements of managing a restaurant. Players have to do the cooking and serve the food to the customers on time and also satisfy a preset quota for the day.

Playing cooking games help prepare a child deal with the real thing when he or she gets older. He or she could even help you out in the kitchen. Some kids find it amusing to cook a meal for themselves and eventually would be more eager to finish up their food. Psychologically, it’s the sense of contentment that they are going for. This approach is excellent for parents who have kids that are fussy with their food or have poor appetites.

Usually, these cooking games are in Korean or Japanese - Only God knows why these people make pretty good games. Fortunately, it’s not a problem at all as many of these games are generally easy to understand that your child will be playing like a champ in no time.

Make this an enjoyable experience for you and your child today.

Three way linking

I have been working to raise the profiles of some websites using blog posts recently, a couple of examples of which you will find posted here. As you may be aware, blog posts are a good way to build up backlinks to websites whether they be blogs or not.
I apologise if you were surprised to find foreign language posts here and hope that it does not put you off reading the blog... Website promotion through off-page optimisation is very difficult to achieve and blog posts with their ever-changing content are a good way to gain backlinks quickly. the best way to do this is to find a blog relevant to your website and offer a link exchange - Normally this would be beneficial for both parties involved in a reciprocal link, but there is a better way. Three way linking gets you a link from a specific site, but instead of a reciprocal link between the two sites, you use a different site to link back. WHY?? Well having a one-way link gives you more 'authority' in terms of SEO than if the link is exchanged. In simple terms, if the link is two-way, the sites are regarded as 'equal' - if you have them linking to you and no apparent return link, your site is seen as having a higher standing. The 'return' link then comes from a third site - this site the apparently endorses the site that linked to you without the 'authority' being diluted:
