Another (Yawn) Google Update...

I was a little upset a couple of weeks ago when I looked at my site.
No, not because it sucks, which it does, but because my Google Page Rank was
back to zero again. My site doesn't deserve a very high PageRank, but it
does deserve SOMETHING...!

I've got links if little else. There was once a time when I had THOUSANDS of
links, and they came from client sites that allowed us to put a link on all
their pages (that was for advertising, not link building, which was not a
concept at the time), many forum posts on many forum sites, and from our
submissions to search engines and directories.

Well, now we're back with a PR of 3 and about 900 back links. There should
be more, but I can't complain about having 900, since we have not done any
link building or many submissions in a number of years.

In looking at our other site and sites of our clients, I'm seeing movement
both up and down in PR. I don't see that the traffic to NielsenTech.com has
increased, so what does this tell you? Well, it confirms to me what I have
been saying for a while, and that is that high PR does not equal more
traffic. So what does THAT mean? If you don't know, then I'm not going to
tell you because you probably would not believe me...

I was invited to the Google Zeitgeist in October. I was thinking about not
going, but they only invited 400 people, so it almost seems like a "Request
to appear before the king..", and those are never a good idea to just blow
off.

Ok, back to work. I hope this "Update blog by email" works....!

P.S. Yup, the update works, but I see I cannot send any HTML tags...
