Thought I'd step in with an update on this since the thread changed direction to SEO. Google made a change to their algorythem this month. A lot of people got hurt with thier rankings. Both of my sites went up. My site
www.LDFacts.com moved to a PR5 and my humor site
www.AskUncleRalph.com went to a PR6. Did you know you can auction off links from your home page? Check out this site:
https://www.linkadage.com/ I've already auctioned off one link. I wont be an internet millionair soon but it did pay all of my cost for my website.
As an aside note: it looks like groundstarts website
www.TalkCheapBaltimore.com is starting to move up in the Google Ranks. Mitch, you need to make a couple of changes to improve your listing. Give me a buzz and I explain.
I've also change my mind about link exchanges. It just has to be done right. It turns out you can actually hurt your own rankings if you don't do it right. Check this site out:
https://www.gorillawebsitemarketing.com/ I bought his book this month so thats part of the reason I've changed my mind about link exchanges. So now I'd really like to echange links with anyone with Telecom related websites. Let me know if your interested.
