The crappy links could have just been devalued. i.e. they may have given the site link juice, but when G changed their scoring systems, the juice was removed. This is not really a penalty, but just a...

I Agree 100 percent. I have one very productive site that was getting hacked - almost daily - my host seemed helpless. I did everything they suggested -i..e changing passwords, etc. - about a dozen...

I see my keyword ranks for certain search terms bounce up right after I do a link campaign for that term, but then sink back down. I just think that is part of Google's mission to deliver updated...

The scanner on my printer stopped working under Vista. The printer company did not apoligize, and the updated driver patch never worked for me. I had to buy another printer.

All I am saying is,...

I skimmed this thread and would like to make a point about adwords.

It is almost always a good idea to seperate your search campaign and your content campaign.

I think the point here is that.

A. Google Pagerank is one thing and gets updated constantly

B. The #$!#! Toolbar Green (or not green) thingie is something else, and I wish they'd either update...

Wherever it gets indexed, it should have a link back to your site, right? I usually post a slightly different article on my own site than I do on ezinearticles.com -- But I think the anchor text from...

I'm really ashamed to admit it, but I got snowed by PRT too. I have a page that converts about 15% on a bad day - their salesman said he could get me thousands of visitors for a search term I picked....

Too lazy to read the thread to see if this got answered, but it probably got there because of the link text of other websites linking to it with Toronto Flowers.

In my experience, that anchor...

No, that's not true. I have sites listed in alexa that I never submitted to dmoz.

I used a map of the US to provide links to state specific data... i.e. the link would be statepage.html?Mississippi

Then statepage.html has SSI to bick up the variable and display it on the...

Hi. For me, I am sure that traffic (and sales) drop more than is accountable for by the clicks or conversions that adwords report. When I look at adwords clicks and conversions and think a particular...

I do that all the time actually, just to save the business money and perhaps offset some of the fraud.[/quote]

Well, I HEART surfers like you!

I guess a google ad like:

Save Money On...

You guys say that, but I am convinced that traffic decreases to certain pages when I shut off my adwords, and they are not adwords landing pages. Let me ask you this.....

The display URL is an...

Well, what I am seeing on my site is that relevance wins over PR. Thanks.

Lately the GooBar has been showing PR on my domains, but not on my pages. They are indexed, but have a 0. I have older domains where the PR still bleeds to the pages, and some subpages even have a...

Please help!

My most productive sales page has a goo-bar rating of 0 (white 0, not grey), buried on directory down on a PR2 domain. It is relevant to a specific search and still comes up 1st in...

Maybe you should start it with a new campaign. I live in a suburb just north of Houston, TX. However, scripts which read my location often put me in a suburb south of Houston, and then some get it...

Hey visio, thanks for the input! You got me thinking and I was looking at one of my sites with a lovely PR0 on the front page. However when I trolled around I found a PR3 on a deep page with a Google...

That is a great tip! I wondered how people did that.

It's sort of funny. I have a website called affiliate-underdog. For the first few days, all the google ads were about dogs! I guess adsense...

Actually if you are referring to the PR 2 website in my sig, it brings in a couple of grand a month. But the conversions don't come from the main page. They come from highly targetted deep pages.

I think you're right, however if you set your content bid lower (which you can do with adwords), you'll get cheaper traffic. I usually set my bid on content to less than half of what I set the search...

I have been bitten by this a lot! My brain doesn't register the difference between www. and no www. anymore. The difference in PR can be drastic, and I am trying to stay consistent these days. :)
