Does Internet Commerce Depend On Page Rank Inappropriately?
Those of you who read this blog regularly know that my main blog has no page rank, and, despite lots of other bloggers linking to it, shows up as having not a single link in when checked. This in turn will presumably prevent it from ever getting Page Rank from Google.
Google System Failure
My first thought is that I have been screwed over by Google having a defective system, and, I have to admit, I still think that is the case. But, the question is, will it matter?
My Site Traffic Grows Daily
I have a building traffic situation, I was getting around 100 visitors a day maximum a few weeks ago, now I seem to be running at around 170 I think it is, sometimes going up as high as 240 plus, and occasionally dropping into the 90's. So, my traffic is increasing. Will that make my PR suddenly appear? I suspect not, as the PR includes having to have links from other websites coming in, which I have not, according to Google, who are missing finding the 100 + links to my blog that actually exist.
A Benchmark?
I look at this as an opportunity. We will now see what happens to PR with a site that has no links in, according to Google.
Advertisers Can Do Better Than Depend On Google?
Advertisers are probably being misled by relying on Page Rank to rate the value of a particular website. My thinking here is that if Google have screwed things up rating my inbound links, then it is statistically likely that other websites are experiencing the same Google profiling.
Maybe I use the wrong aftershave.
BTW......
I just did a direct submission to an advertiser to have my blog considered for paid entries. I have had one of two regular opportunity suppliers give me some paid posts, but they are few and far between.
Advertising Kills Page Rank
I would like to pose another question :
If a blog gets more Page Rank by having no advertising, and gets zero Page Rank by having lots of advertising, then how much is to much?
Income Strategy To Defend Page Rank Attack
Strategy can be to either feed the advertising into the blog in very diluted amounts, hoping that Google will not pick up on it and penalise the Page Rank, or , as soon as the Page Rank is obtained, cram the page with as many ads as possible, knowing that it will be decreased to zero next time Google rates the page. The economies of each method would depend on the revenue per ad, and the average income over a long term time frame.
Can There Be An Advertising SuperBlog Format?
Finally, a question to pose might be:
How would I design and maintain a blog if I was only interested in income from it?
I will be interested to see if anyone has any comments, or even so much to say that they have to do a post on their own blog to respond to this one! Interesting subject, anyway.
