Well Google have been doing there page rank updates again and for me it's even more bad news I really hope that a lot of you have been luckier with your blogs.
A couple of months back I had a 5 page rank but because I have used IZEA PayPerPost, on the last update they smashed it to 3 and this time took away any remaining hope and made it 0
I suppose I was lucky to keep it that long as a know a lot of people doing PPP got smashed to 0 last time.
I'm sure all of you that have done PPP on there blog will know what I'm talking about and those of you who haven't have by now most probably heard about the recent Google smash downs
I wasn't really surprised I could feel it coming but just feel a bit angry about how mean and petty Google really are, the whole problem seems to be that Google want us to add 'No-follow' code to any paid links.
I sure that like myself a lot of normal everyday people and bloggers like me didn't even know what a "No-follow" link was! after the problems I tried to learn and to me it sounds like its Google's plan to try and correct a problem they have with THERE search engine,
You see because there search engine is based on links to a page for importance if you had a website that was called banana.com and lots and lots of people all link to that website it will come out as No 1 in Googles search engine when someone types in 'Banana', even if absolutely None of the content on there website had anything to do with Bananas. so it seems that because Google have this problem they are taking it out on everyone else, poor bloggers like me who desperately need the little bit of money we make from the bit of advertising we do.
So Instead of correcting there problem Google are attempting to change the entire Internet to suit there search engine!
There are those who say its all PPP fault or hate PPP for allowing bloggers to sell links,
But most of those people were probably born with a silver spoon in there mouth and have never needed the money and the fact is the Internet is full of advertising and it always will be!
every kind of of media always has advertising its the way of the world. to me PPP blog Ads are far less obstructive then Googles Adsense there stupid adverts that are everywhere all over the net but can only earn normal everyday bloggers only cents if that! it should be called AD'cents' unlike PPP that used to make make us real money.
Whats wrong with it? if you had a radio show nobody would think it was wrong to accept a payment to promote an event.
All of us Bloggers used to be very good at disclosing these adverts before Google made us so scared to ever even mention the word PayPerPost in our blogs!
But there is not much else they can do so IZEA, PAYPERPOST, SOCIALSPARK,PAIDLINKS.
There! wow that felt Liberating.
Soon Socialspark should be starting and apparently all Ad's will need to be 'No-follow' I really, really hope it all works out OK. I wonder if Google will now let it rest now everyone have had to bow to the power of there stupid rules.
