Wow, after so much days not blogging, a wierd and somewhat controvesial note on some SEO (Search Engine Optimization) site is what going to stir me back on writing something. Just a quick word if you're not into the latest trend about the big G and its exploits, check out your PR!

Anyway, if your wondering why on earth am I asking you to check your page rank. The answer is rather quite simple after you had checked your own rank. (Edit: Don't check my page rank, cause this domain is just a month old even if I started blogging rather a few months ago.) Everyone knows that it was mid-October this year, 2007, that the lastest page rank update happened; some blogs had increased their page ranks while other's stooped and slide down the ranking system. This is what everyone else knows about a typical ranking system, some lose ranks while others gain. However, last November 15, if I wasn't mistaken, selective webmasters ended up losing their page ranks, not just a -1 or a -2 from the said ranking system owned by G, but all of their page ranks started to start back to zero. For what reason?

Everyone knows that Google uses Adsense and Adwords as it's predominant investment key to gain billions of dollars across and over the internet using publishers and advertisers alike. However what if you don't belong to their publishers' network or their advertising network but instead you are doing business as a freelance writer over the internet, or your finding good and qualified writers to help you out to promote your business? This was the major question that instantanouesly popped-out my mind. What if the webmaster doesn't belong to Google's advertising firm, would that mean breaching some contract or guidelines, which was purportedly the reason why some bloggers lost their page rank?

Apart from what I know, page rank was in fact made to determine the website's quality content, the links associated to it, the website's traffic and so on and so forth, which in fact is too categorical and at the same time confusing. (Just head out to Wikipedia in order to know what page rank is all about.) Every website owners knows that page rank is being utilized by a lot advertising firms in order to promote their products over the vast market of the internet; and with page rank being under Google's subsidy, advertisers tend to be so sure that their products could get a decent exposure. But what if these advertisers wanted more than what Google's advertising firm can provide? What if the advertisers hired decent freelance writers and asked them to critic their products? Would that mean selling links across the internet?

I just don't understand why most of the time Google tends to be so manipulative over the course and trend of online marketers and freelancers alike. If they see that a freelancers' writing job over the internet is causing them to lose money from their contextualized ads then I think it might had made them to use page rank as a means of trying to get even from their competitors. Well at the end of the day an online publisher doesn't want to be stuck at a page rank zero you know, and no one seems to care even if a lot of people will boycott big G or not.
