As bloggers and webmasters we have always believed that achieving a good PageRank was a necessary factor for ranking well in Google search engines. This would be the main reason there was such a furor when Google down-listed so many blogs and websites including my own blogs.

This has hurt many a paid blogger for once they were downgraded they lost many paid opportunities which by and large meant the earning capacity of their blogs were greatly diminished. What are they to do though as for many being paid bloggers was a way of life and for many WAHM the main source of income.

I reckon that in time advertisers will realize that PageRank isn’t all that it is cracked up to be and that they may well hold something like the Alexa rank as being more important. Let’s face it, even though someone has a good PR does not necessarily mean that their site has a huge page view scenario and someone with a lower PR may well bring more exposure to their links.

I have noticed that even though my PR has been reduced to zero I am still hitting the front page on many Google searches. A few examples:

• four year old rides whale
• deal or no deal virtual game online a sponsored post
• bettercaring.com “wordpress” another sponsored post
• covermyboat a yep, another sponsored post great
• tradeshow booths sponsored post

These are just a few but all appeared in the top ten results of Google’s front page! Now I ask you, isn’t that what advertisers should be really interested, that the posts they paid for appear in this prime position? If that is so what make PageRank so damned important?

In case you are interested, I owe the high placements to choosing the right keywords and the way I structure titles and content.

There is a time in everyones life when you are concerned about how to care for a person you love or even how to get better care for yourself as you near an age when you are no longer able to care for yourself. The obvious solution is to go to a care home but that does not always appeal to everybody.

There is a site called bettercaring.com which is supposed to be a dedicated service for all those people who may need certain answers to those crucial questions concerning self care or care for their loved ones. There are discussions on the site such as Are Care Homes The Way? in the community forums where you can read the experiences of others. There are also  daily care news and views, and it is a great place to receive tips from care experts.

There are many true stories from real people who are in the ‘care’ situation and it looks like the place to go to get an informed view on all that is happening in the ‘care’ world.
