Thanks for the link Stephen and Congrats on the Alexa increase. It’s fun to watch your own blog rise like that isn’t it.
It looks like this whole toolbar PR reduction is to decrease the value of advertising on these sites and not to actually penalize them, that’s what it looks like to me anyway.
BlogRush definitely has some major issues. I honestly can’t remember a system/service/product that has received this much heat and that bad thing is it’s free! Theres got to be some major issues for a free service to get dogged like that.
Hi Josh, I fished you out of Askimet again. I wish it had a Whitelist option, so that even if Askimet is sure you’re crooked and won’t believe my de-spams, I can tell it you’re cool for my site.
Your PR theory sounds good. I hadn’t thought of it that way. I was thinking this may just be part of the bigger picture – we know Google been considering the future of PR for sometime, maybe they are just playing around with it a little bit. It’s probably both! But I wouldn’t be surprised to see more changes.
Blogrush did an excellent job of marketing themselves – in hindsight, too good! They got too many people, not just on board, but on the bandwagon, too soon. Then when the inevitable problems surfaced, Blogrush reacted badly. Now that bandwagon is turned upside down and smoking… They could have reacted better, especially with making all those accounts inactive. Or they could have tried to keep a lid on expectations (bad for short-term marketing, but better long-term). But all this is just my 2 cents, from what I’ve read. It’s always different when you’re sitting in the seat yourself.
Hey Stephen.. great work with the iFrame plugin but sorry I haven’t gotten around to testing it in ShanKri-la yet! Wish I had an extra couple of hours every day..
don’t we all?
Glad to see your Alexa ranking going up. After I got into the 150K, it has been inching slowly and I’m not sure how long it’ll be to break into the 100K.
I think your plugins are going to help a lot with that! Thanks for the link..
K, Thanks and no worries. TOTALLY understand about the time!
Yes, having plugins should help me with PageRank and traffic – hopefully! I’ve got a few more in the pipeline. Truth be told, I like writing plugins more than I like writing posts!
i have checked this plugins but i m little bit confuse as i am having 2.1 version and i m not sure whether it will work for it or not. can any one give their experience with this plugin.
Ear plugs, both will work with 2.1
