Looks like google stopped loving me

Sadly, I seem to have been stripped of my page rank. It’s no big deal, but it’s a little irritating all the same. I know damn well this page deserves to be a PR3 (which it was) or more, so it’s frustrating to have google take off my PR simply because I’m using a piece of code in the sidebar that sells ads through TNX. PR is a pretty vicious cycle, in that you want a higher pr so your site is worth more and you can charge more for links or advertising, but as soon as Google see you sellings links, your Pagerank gets taken off you. As far as I know, TNX have something that may prevent this happening, so I’ll have to look into that in the hope I get some PR back.

Google had been treating me very well lately, as I’d been getting high rankings for keywords I mentioned in posts. I’m currently still number four result on Google for “digital point forums”, which is pretty funny since the post is titled “Digital Point forums are going down the drain”.

Otherwise TNX has been working pretty well for me. You get more and more credits each day, for doing absolutely nothing, and soon I’ll be able to cash them in, so it’s pretty handy. If you’re gonna sign up, do so using my referral link, or using the banner at the top of this page

In other news, I’ve finally bought a new hosting account for my proxy, so will be promoting that a little soon. Remember to use 4getSchool.com to get on bebo from school kids

You may have noticed that I’m posting a little less often on here. That’s due to school work and study getting the better of me lately, so expect posting to be 3-4 times a week rather than 7 days a week like I used to be able to do.

Sellin’ links in my, my sidebar,

I fought the Google and the Google won, I fought the Google and the Google won

I needed money cause I had none
I fought the Google and the Google won, I fought the Google and the Google won

Yeah I’m currently listening to that famous Clash song, so that seemed appropriate. Real lyrics are here, do you all like my clever word change?
