I ended up writing an article (upon request) and after it was published, it ended up on the FRONT PAGE of SlashDot (a freaking PR9), to my utter horror, (it was written âcheekyâ and slanted at the SEO community).
The âgeeksâ over there had theyâre own opinions on itâŚ(whoa⌠you guys were gentle..ha ha ha)
Le me just say, most had little or no idea of what PageRank is, never mind the oneâs that didnât even know what SEO was.
Value? After 20+ hours of this, my ROI for PageRank has dropped again (lol).
If you want a link to the article, accompanying âbitch at Daveâ forum, PM and I shall give you the link. I am treading on water already around here, I donât want to push my luck with links to other forums. In there I discuss why I approached it the way I did and some other caveats to understand before condemning me as an ASS. Lol. I am not all that bad. I was merely looking for the passionate response. I certainly found that. If it was pro PR or anti-PR.. the sparks were flying.
Alas, I am back to work⌠I posted this over on the site with the article and accompanying forum last nigh, it fits here as well. I leave you all with this and thank you for your patience;
âWell my friends, and to those indifferent to my little âjourneyâ, it has come time for me to move on. We all owe it to ourselves and those we counsel, to make every effort to give the best possible advice/service. That was my goal, and I feel the seed is planted to create discussions beyond the LGB as well as about it in a âguardedâ light. Hopefully we have served to give more perspective on things.
I canât really spend much more time on this, now can I? It could soon verge on hypocritical. I have just completed a marathon (ask Mark) of forums rounds (5-6? Lost count) in the process of attempting create more discussion about Page Rank than, âI have a PR3â, âWe went up to a PR5!â âI am down to a PR1 HELP ME!â
It's 3am, just finshed up with a client in New Zealand (late afternoon there). Which I might add, included the obligatory dicsussion of PR. I am utterly drained, exhausted and have debated my last algorithm implication for a little while. As long as this serves to provide, ultimately, better options to the end user (forum readers/clients) I am a happy guy. I shall keep on popping in to this post to do what I can to clarify my stance, but who cares what I think. What is going to mater is what YOU think the next time some one goes on about Page Rank. We built this car together. Where you drive it from here is truly your concern. Just please, drive safe.
To be continuedâŚâŚâ
Truly, the best wishes to all.....
