This promotion has been going on since October 1st! I challenged myself to find 30 blogs for 30 days! It looks like this BlogFest is drawing to a close. I haven’t been inundated with offers! Which is surprising really especially after Google’s PR dithering and dunking earlier this week. Many blogs of note have been reduced by one or two or more PR rankings.

Anyway, I’m now posting what could be the last in the series of my Blogbuzzes, “Hunna’s Happenings “! Hunna was kind enough to host a PPP blog carnival ages ago, and she linked one of the carnivals to one of my posts! You’ll have to read the carnival to find out which one!

Anyway this is her blog and it’s very brightly colored with lots of purple! Now, I’m quite keen on purple! So the colors appeal to me. I was going to link to some categories or tags, but it seems there are none! So I had to go searching by hand: Sunset in Mexico, Where I Live, and she has a string of posts on dieting…! Though I’ve been quite unsuccessful on that score.

Good luck on your blog. We’ll be dropping by again soon!

If you’d like a blogbuzz, like Hunna’s Happenings, then hop on over to Buzz your BlogFest, read the instructions, and sign up today. There are only 22 buzzes to go, and 5 days! So hurry! I wonder if we can make 22 buzzes in 5 days! … Somehow, I don’t think so! But it’s been fun!

Many of the higher profile bloggers have recently had their PR ranking dinged by -1 or -2 points by Google for various reasons:

Andy Beard -2

John Chow -2

Problogger -2

And the list goes on and on… I was surprised, but then my own blog has been dinged by -1. Then there are some well known blogs with no page rank at all, such as CashQuests, despite having some hundreds of readers and a high Alexa ranking. So now, we’re all wondering why. Rumors abound about a new system called Trust Rank. But few poe

My own response is really rather obvious after spending a few minutes thinking about it.

If you are serious about making money from your blog, then you will need to focus more on selling advertising for traffic, not for SEO. At the moment, we’ll be waiting for responses from TLA and PPP on this issue. Suffice to say, PPP is already working on their response (called Argus) and I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a much better system than Google has for tracking traffic.

Cut your reliance directly and indirectly on Google. You can continue to serve your Adsense ads, but I suggest that you find other ways to earn money from advertising. I think the online advertising on blogs platform will survive these changes from Google, but bloggers will need to adapt over time.

Cut your reliance on Google search, adapt to using other search engines. You also need to change your behavior in some ways. Don’t entirely give up Google services and products, there are some good products there. But add variety to your online world.

I wouldn’t suggest boycotting Google altogether, but I would like to remind you and of course Google that Google’s success is mandated on the behavior of its users. If we hadn’t started using Google, it wouldn’t have got a multi-hundred billion dollar price tag! At the moment, I don’t think that’s feasible, but we can modify our own behavior in minor ways, and that will have an impact.

How has Google’s regular dance affected you? Do you think things will be different this time? Do comment.

There are multiple ways that credit card consumers can get in trouble with the credit card companies and shred their otherwise perfectly good credit scores: failure to make payments on time, bankruptcy, having too much credit, even identity theft, and so on, all create bad credit for borrowers.

Whatever the reason, it’s essential for customers to try to get back on track, as there are times in life when using credit will be the most cost effective way to purchase something you need.
