Ouchie..John Chow lost pagerank again
The pagerank hasn’t been stable and last night, after hearing that Johnchow dot com has a PR 3 from his PR 4, I went to check and found that John Chow still hold on to his PR 4/10.
But today, I saw that John Chow now really carries PR 3/10 on his johnchow.com blog. Of course, you may be aware that John Chow’s site has been deindexed for the name John Chow or even johnchow.com. You cannot find him when you make a Google search. It is buried deep down.
Of course, that doesn’t stop him from making lots of money. But remember boys and girls, we are not John Chow and we cannot do what he does. John Chow can afford to lose a -1 pagerank and he can still increase his paid post rate to USD500 per piece from the usual USD400.
All of us will get smacked with a PR 0 if we write the amount of paid posts like what John Chow did. The world is not fair. Live with it. :P

De-indexed by Google - The worst possible smack, worse than PR 0
I read that a few bloggers have their sites de-indexed from Google’s index. It is like the ultimate burial. With PR 0, you are sort of left to die without foods. However, crumbs will still come by.
With de-index, you are like killed and buried.
So, how do you know if your site has been de-indexed? Just type in your full url and do a Google search. If you get nothing, i.e. no results found, you know you are dead.
Of course, there is always Yahoo and MSN and a host of other search engines which will drive organic traffic to you. But many paid post companies do not want blogs that are not indexed by Google.
When you start a new blog, your blog is not index. Sometimes, it takes just a day to get your site indexed. Sometimes, it takes a longer time. To make it faster, you can ask your friends to link your new blog from their blogs. Getting a link from a blog post is better than getting a link on a sidebar.
After a while, your blog will be in Google’s index.
And the opposite can happen too. One day, Google found out that your site is too crappy and not worth’s anybody’s time and wham, they kill you.
If that site is your one and only blood, sweat and tears, you may want to find out how to rectify it. Have you done anything naughty like stuffing it with all kinds of craps? Have you been stuffing things against Google Webmasters policies? If you clear all those, you can submit your site for reinclusion. Read how I got my Google pagerank back. It works almost the same way.
Or if that’s not an important site, you can always move on.
I seem to know a lot eh? Heh, talking from experience. I learn a new thing each time I get a smack. That’s why there is a Chinese saying, ‘ai meh kah eh bak chiew kim’ or ‘need to get scold to get the eyes widen’.
Moral of the story - Dun farkit with Google. They will keep strangling you forever.

Check your internal pageranks
This post is not for those who are Google smacked. Please stay away or you will smack me for rubbing it in. However, I hope there are lessons to be learn from my mistakes.
One of my blog (I shall not reveal which) which was Google smacked got PR 0. It was previously a PR 4/10. Then, I applied for reconsideration. And I got back not only my main URL pagerank of 4/10, I also got back all the internal pages pageranks.
Many people still insist that pagerank does not matter in SERPs. It is not true. It has a lot of weight there. I have observed for a while and I am darn frustrated that no matter how, my position is always behind those who have PR 5/10. And those who have lesser PR tails behind my blog.
There are certain keywords that I was tracking and the results always go by the pagerank.
eg. pig dream (just an example, don’t run and Google)
Play-play Google search results
1. Blog who has PR 5/10 with the mention
2. Blog who has PR 4/10
3. Blog with PR 3/10
I am lucky that not many people has PR 5/10 (forget about 6/10 and above) in that blogging niche. I am also lucky that many of my internal pages have PR 3 to PR 1.
You can check your internal pages pagerank from Livepr. And a good tip is to improve, add tags, add keywords, make the title more relevant and edit those pages. Of course, use the SEO plugin for Wordpress. Also if there are any useful keywords that you can link to your other pages, do it. Advertisers have to pay good money to get a link from us, so why not just take advantage of this for our own good? However, don’t stuffs too many links or Google may think you are a link farm.
We may have 2,000 posts on one blog but sometimes, 20 pages are all we need to get the traffic.
Here’s a screenshot from LivePr for this blog internal pageranks. Wakahkahkah….it says I have PR 10 on all pages. Who knows…it may be future PR prediction, eh?
System screwed up. :P

Shoemoney heard that Google may do paid reviews
It could just be a rumor. It may be true, one day. Whatever it is, we who have blogs will herald this as good news.
So again…. there is no credible source that is saying Google is getting into the paid review marketplace but it would certainly seem like it would be a very good business move for them.
What do you think? Could we see Paid Reviews via the Adwords/Adsense system in 2008?
I enjoy reading the comments on “Google sucks”. You should too. Who cares if Google sucks as long as they have some products to help us make money? For us who are in Malaysia, it is not like we have many other options except for Nuffnang, selling some affiliate programs (aka braff peeples kind), paid posts, banner ads and text links.
So….are you hoping this could be true?
BTW, I hope none of you deleted off Blogitive paid posts because they warned me this morning when an advertiser cannot find the links. I didn’t delete them but I changed the permalink structures. The advertisers freaked out and I was warned by Blogitive to get the links working or I will be locked out of Blogitive. KNN, I have over USD200 unpaid yet. Note that Blogitive links are permanent….
Anyway, I mailed them the new URLs and everything is solved.

Whinning about Google smack you to PR 0 is a complete waste of time
So, PPP updated all my blogs and I have three PR 4 blogs, some PR 3, PR 2 and PR 1 blogs on PPP. Although I had taken off the PPP code, like I said earlier, my blog stays there.
I can see 16 juicy opps on PPP which I am qualified to take although I no longer do PPP on those blogs. Payment is between USD30 to USD6. The advertisers all want PR 2 to PR 4 sites.
When I was PR 0, I see no opps. And now I realized, whinning about Google smack is a complete waste of time. Google will smack you and continue to do so, every single day. I have read from some forum about people who recently got their PR and within days, they were stripped off their PR and left with an egg. Google smack goes on every day.
Posties can whine till the cows come home about not having a PR but that’s the way things are. When they see other sucky sites with PR, they get even agitated. But dahlings, there is nothing you can do about it.
For example, I mentioned about having to live with scrappers. And here’s an example of a PR 2/10 site which lives on scrapping.
They took one of my post with the word cock, stuffed it in their herpes news and they have PR on their site but you don’t. Who cares if your blog is filled with real content, real writings, real literature, real masterpiece, real life experiences. You still don’t have PR because Google said so. You are still losing because advertisers still buy PR link juice.
As for me, go with the flow. Whatever herpes or VD, if you have pagerank and you give me a linkback, you are free to talk cock. I have given up on whinning like ‘Oh my blog is so fantastic, why did I get a PR 0, I have real contents bla bla bla yadda yadda yadda…’
Like in my previous post, Google is the cause of all these spammy sites and we cannot do anything about it. It is a lose-all the way fight. The only solution I can see is when Google smack all the advertisers (muahahahar) and everyone insist for no-follow links. *evil thoughts light bulb blinking! Maybe we posties should start to report sites BUYING PR* Well, actually some sites are paying a few bucks for me to insert no-follow into their old posts. But I derived more satisfaction on not taking the money and leaving them follow through.
What do you think, posties? *grins*

Psst…did ya hear? JohnChow lost his PR6/10!
The blogsphere is very much like soap operas sometimes. There are rags to riches story. And the fallen hero. What about mudslinging? If you haven’t read much A-list tech bloggers like Michael Assrington or Jason Calacanis (who lost to me in the Most Obnoxious Bloggers votes) vs. PayPerPost, then you probably missed some of those bitch fights. I love blogging because of these. Men who makes me, a woman, feel so normal.
Well, the latest thing I read on JohnCow is…..jeng, jeng, jeng…..JohnChow lost his PR6/10. But I wonder…did JohnCow sits at his PC all day long and stalking JohnChow? It makes me wonder…
But here is the screenshot :
And JohnCow’s post.
Moral of the story : Kids, when you grow up, don’t follow JohnChow’s footsteps. Unless you don’t mind Google bombs and bitch slaps. In case you do not know what JohnChow, the Chinese Canadian has done, he has offered to give you a do-follow link for 10 bucks a month. He wrote too many paid posts on his blog. Hey, ReviewMe advertisers!!! Yo, yo, yo….I only charge USD100 per review and you can probably get better ranking with that post of mine. I had taken one of them to the #2 position within hours. I am clean. Your mom will approve! Come!
