    I have been an Internet reviewer, reviewing websites since June 2007.

    Social media has been a phenomenon since 2007. It brings in the true two-way communication between the websites and their visitors. That's what Web 2.0 is all about. I aim to review what the world has become, and to give you my opinions and choices.

    Over at my blog, I review you at no cost. But I will not be obliged to write reviews about your website, nor will I be obliged to write reviews positively. It is purely from my own point of view. There will have no deadline for me to finish any reviews if I am going to take up.

    Please prepare your product ready for me before contacting me. Thanks. :)

Is Google Page Rank Update Delayed?

By Charles On September 23, 2007 Under Online Marketing

Everybody seems to have their share about when Google is going to update the page rank for their websites. It’s been quite a while. Ever since I started blogging on June 2007, I noticed many new and powerful bloggers all popping up in just within June as well. In fact, they don’t seem to be new in blogging anyway… They must have rebuilt their blogs and all seems to be within the last three months. For just the last three months, there have been a lot of controversial topics about how link building should be done since many companies have been started to help building links for both buyers and sellers.

Link Building
We all know some of the blackhat techniques which Google has specifically identified. And it seems like the whitehat techniques are focusing on natural linking… And anything that has to do with asking for a link is now known as grayhat… Grayhat (which I have just defined myself) is a technique which is not bluffing anybody… In fact, they are building links through link exchanges, buying links, selling links, and even participating in a community such as blogs or forums where the links are shown… All these links seem so much more on the gray spot than to be defined as good technique or bad technique…

Grayhat defeating the idea of Page Rank?
It seems like Google is rethinking about distributing page rankings for all the websites. With the past three months of uncertain meanings of linking when John Chow don’t rank first for his own name when his page rank is 6, it seems like Google is taking this matter seriously. Text Link Ads don’t seem to favor for pagerank idea since we can pay for linking… ReviewMe seems to be yet another idea going against pagerank where we can get our reviews on our favorite blogs by paying the bloggers. PayPerPost is yet another way of sponsoring for writing about certain thing. Are paying for link means voting?

Everything starts with a good reason
Trust me… Every business starts with a good reason. Page Rank is a voting system for the good reason! But then, every good reason can find its bad side… Everything on earth has two sides anyway… So while the bad side could be something we only found out when somebody took advantage of it…

And I think it has become a topic by itself… Just check it out about what other bloggers have to say…

Page rank used to be updated around once a month. Then it changed to once a quarter. Many seo experts now think it will be every 6 months.

Is this good or bad? For a webmaster who has a high pr site it is very good as they will be able to sell links for a longer period. If you have a new site it can be very frustrating as you wait to see if your link and seo efforts have been rewarded.

Google are attempting to do away with paid links and are no doubt hoping that by only updating twice a year will damage the market. With a lot of people buying on a month by month basis this could actually work.

Another idea is that page rank could be replaced by a trust rank toolbar.

This would be a great idea in my opinion.
