No one can exactly nail down what Google deemed to be an important or not important website, and how they assigned page rank to it! Shee-take-ki mushroom, I thought I knew from reading and learning through all these years.
I have seen sites with very few posts that received a page rank 3 and have only been online for a short while. I also have seen sites that have a page rank 4 with just photos! So there you go, "content is not always king" as it made out to be!
I'm betting with my sister that if I create another blog, and when September comes around, I should get a page rank 3! Ha, will see about that. Google may not like me for stirring this stinky pot. Whatever...It is good to go beyond musing or ranting to understand this messed up ideas about page rank, traffic, and just put them to rest. I give, I give!
So really, Do What You Love, and Don't Worry About Page Rank...even if your main purpose is generating some extra money.
I have never understood the Google page rank system at all. You've got the right idea in doing what you love. My new store blog isn't even ranked :D and that's the one that should be bringing traffic to me. I've got enough gray hair now that worrying about page rank will only add to it. I'm just happy my internet is working now. More on that in two ?'s meme on Thursday.
ReplyDeleteThis time around, Google had swept through the mommy blogs, and the product review blogs, and the blog hopping blogs and up their page ranks! To 4s and 5s! It really does not make sense, since those blogs have more link out to every product and services in the gazzoo. So the links out of the paid posts are not even 1/100 of what the links out on those sites.
ReplyDeleteYour condensing is the right idea.
You know what, Icy, I don't even care about page rank and all of that. I write for myself, just like I do my makeup and riotous eyeshadow for me. At nearly 67, I am at the stage where I have lived my life and I don't really owe anyone anything. I blog to keep my sanity ( I'm failing, aren't I? )and, if people like me and follow me, great. I'm not really earning money, sad to say, but that's life.
