Page Rank, or PR, is a value assigned to a particular web page by Google on a scale of 0 to 10. Most readers will be well aware of Google’s rating system. The intent of this article is not to talk about the intricacies of Google Page Rank and it’s mysterious algorithm but instead to ask you what is more important, traffic or PR value? The value and desirability of Page Rank has long been a big topic of discussion among webmasters. Google keeps secret as much as possible its methods of rating a webpage and is almost constantly changing and trying to improve them. However, there are a lot of factors that are at least partially understood. One factor behind PR is known to be backlinks. There is a lot of disagreement about the specifics, but most webmasters agree that backlinks are an important part of PR. It is often said that Google wants to keep their PR rating and SERP (Search Engine Results Position) methods secret because they want to avoid cheating and manipulation. It is...

Not so long ago it seemed like nearly everyone who wanted to build websites were creating directories. I know when I started out online with all this stuff I put up at least three of them. If you frequented webmaster forums at that time one of the busiest sections was for announcing new directories. Many were even running multiple directories. Lots of webmasters, including myself, were scrambling around paying $1 to $5 for regular listings and even more for featured listings. Most everyone was playing the PR game and the main concern was usually the PR of the directory and the listing page. Whenever you saw an ad for a directory in a forum it would usually go something like “PR5 Directory…” Webmasters who achieved high PR values for their directories had no problem getting new listings even when they raised their rates. Wise directory owners used most of their listing revenues to promote their directory. The more high PR backlinks a webmaster obtained for their directory...

What if I told you that you could make several hundred dollars per month, just for telling people your honest opinions? With the help of paid online surveys, you can! Beware of the paid survey scams and NEVER pay money to join a survey company. If you are dealing with an real paid survey site then YOU are the one who will be getting paid not the other way around! Now for some introductory and honest information about paid survey sites and companies. Huge, well known companies need your opinions on their services and products, and they are willing to pay good money for them. But why would they ask a normal person, without any specific expertise? Because companies sell their products to everyday people, just like you, and they want to essentially ask for your approval before releasing, or making changes, to their product or service. For every survey you do you will receive a small reward (usually $1 to $10). Occasionally surveys will pay you much more. I personally have completed a $45 survey,...
