Did You Miss The Latest Page Rank (PR) Train?

If your PR is still N/A or 0, then you must have missed the latest PR train. The reason could be is that your site is fresh and do not have enough indexed pages and backlinks. If your site is at least 90 days old, the reason could either be a) you don’t have enough content and/or backlinks, or b) you were penalized. If you have a PR a couple of weeks ago then you just found out that you now have none, then the train must have ran over your site and the big G took your PR away. In other words, you were penalized for selling links, giving away too much of it, or linking to bad sites.

So, what are you going to do to get ranked?

Blogging For Money

Is money your ultimate goal in blogging? Others openly declare that if it’s not for money-making, blogging is just a waste of time. So their every effort, (posting, blog design, commenting, blog hopping, blog title, post title, etc…) is aimed at making money online. How many creatively deceive the readers just to gain traffic? How many pretend to be experts in money-making when their post is just copied in from somewhere?

IZEA’s PPP and Google’s PR

Ranking is something we can’t do away with in the internet world these days. There are so many ranking systems around and yet no one claims to have the perfect system. IZEA launched its real rank early this year, and changed its admission requirement to accommodate more publishers. As a blogger who used to have PR4 and a real rank of around 1800 (in one of my blogs), I welcomed it with mixed feelings. My PR would be deemed useless as far as their program is concerned. And so is my IZEARank, if newer blogs with more traffic enters the fold. I even wondered how and why the top sites in IZEARanks have warnings that these sites are with mature contents.

One online friend was even surprised and commented why I still have my PR despite the number of paid posts in my blog. I was surprised myself, though I theorized that it could be my strategy of paid post pacing and the lack of banner announcements. I actually don’t want to fill my blog with ads. Since most readers read the topmost article, I would make sure that it is not a paid entry.
