Google sure makes page rank updates at funny times. It’s only April 30th and they have yet another round of updates. I’m not complaining because they have raised this blog Page Rank from 2 to 3.
Despite what is said about the “worthlessness” of PR if it cannot be monetized, I somehow feel energized by this […]

Would you buy a PR6 domain for USD 1000? Ooglester.com is currently priced at USD 800 at eBay but you can quick grab at USD 1000. They even bundle in the website design and some free YouTube Feeder Script that you can use.
Hmmm.. imagine getting a domain that’s higher PR than LiewCF.com. In fact I […]

Today I was going to write a post about blogs with /blog folders and their PR and saw that HongKiat.com is back down to Page Rank Zero (PR 0/10).
I thought that must be a mistake but I checked with my FireFox toolbar, SelfSeo PR Checker and LivePR too. All showed PR 0. My […]

A few months ago, Exabytes suspended my hosting account because of excessive CPU usage. My solution was to upgrade my hosting plan to Gold which was double the price of the normal hosting. However during the process of trying to appease Exabytes I deleted one of my chess website which was a fan based […]

If you are a paid post blogger and your blog has been zerofied as punishment from Google, I’m just curious if you can answer me this question:-
Have you said sorry to Google yet ?
Two months ago I published a list of local bloggers who got their Page Rank zerofied by Google. I’ve checked every […]

Just got back from holidays so I’m a little out of touch. I found out about the Google page update from 5xmom.com. I have to say she is the most updated mother in Malaysia, web-wise, that is.

Isn’t it funny after the last Google nuke on PR that nobody has asked this question?
I for one am pretty eager. I saw many newcomers get PR3 and PR4 from brand new websites. I think this is because they got a high PR link and almost no outgoing links. I come to this conclusion because […]

Yesterday I read from 5xmom article that there is a 6th round Google demotion. I checked and sure enough there is talk of PR demotion as late as Nov 30 on the Pee Pee Pee forum.
Some of the common posts:
I thought I was safe… last night my blog was still listed as a […]

PR4
This morning I opened my email and read with surprise that GoDaddy has just ‘captured’ a domain for me. You see I was reading some online articles how some people were buying expired domains with PR on them. I was suffering from Pagerank Deficiency Syndrome (PDS) after both my PR4 and PR2 website were ‘zerofied’ […]

Ok after all the Google name calling and criticism about Google PR slapping PPP blogs there’s no denying the sad fact that it’s hard to live with a PR 0 blog. There’s also little chance that Google will give back the PRs to paid post bloggers. I’m so disheartened that I can’t even bare to […]

IZEA will be rolling out the new metrics to measure a blog’s worth called RealRank . You can go to  RealRanker.com (found about this from RiceBlogger) to check to see what is your rank. I took the liberty to check the list of Malaysian’s Googled nuked to see what is their Real Rank:-

I visited several blogs at random searching for paid post keywords like “sponsored”, “PayPerPost”, “Smorty” and found out that there are a few blogs that still survived the Google Nuke. I won’t list them down here for obvious reasons. They are not that many. It seems roughly out of ever 10 blogs I found, 2 […]

What is Google up to? I checked this morning and looks like they not only reduced PR but reset it back all the way to ZERO!

You were once my friend.I worshipped you.You gave me valuable PR.I made money out of it.Now you take away my PR.Google! You backstabber!
No no. That’s not how I feel. But from what I’ve read in the blogosphere, that sentiment is pretty common.
Do you feel the same way?

One thing I admire about Google is their ability to keep track of individual page ranks. What I mean is that EVERY single page has a page rank on your website.

I got a surprise email from one of my paid sponsor requesting me to remove a paid post immediately from my blog (not this one) that was just slapped with a PR4->PR2 demotion. It was a strange requests. I have no problems with it because I have already been paid for the sponsored post a […]

One of my PR4 has been demoted to PR2. Looks like Google is back to slapping PR demotions again.
My PR4 site was doing paid posts as well as Text Link Ads so that’s not surprising. I have been doing that for months. I fully accept and expected that. However what I did not expect was […]

I hate liars. Especially one that lies outright and tries to profit from it.

See, they say they are PR 7.
But actually there are only ..
They have already suffered one prior demotion from PR 7-> PR5. And finally it’s PR 5-> PR3. But they still tell potential customers they are PR 7 right on their front […]
