Earning Money

I wanted to give a quick update to those that have yet to update to 2.3.0 that there is now a more recent version of WP out for people to install. The new version came out about a month ago and this new update has given it a tremendous number of error corrections. It is incredibly important to update your blog because if you don’t, if you ever get big, someone could easily hack into your blog and that could very easily ruin your dreams.

I am sure that you have already seen it, but, if you decide to install the latest version, please click here. While updating it may seem difficult, if you begin to learn, you can really do it fast. And, to give you a quick hint, you could make some money doing it because there are a ton of bloggers that don’t like to learn. For some reason, they just never try and learn the simplest of things. Regardless, if you haven’t, go ahead and try.

However, if you are nervous about doing it, try out this program. I wrote about it a month ago, some new way to update your blog. I have yet to hear anything, but if you do use it, please let me know by leaving a comment. I would really appreciate it. Anyways…The new update is out. Wordpress, in my opinion, is one of the greatest pieces of software and this is why: they’re FAST to get updates out. Good luck.

If you have not been around the web all that much these passed few days, you’ll know that Google has been removing the PR of a considerable number of people. Some blogs that have definitely been messed with are JohnChow.com and ProBlogger.net. They had, I believe, PR6 blogs and now they are down to PR4. Is this detrimental or are they going to be able to survive from the very unfortunate and some would say, incredibly unexpected response from Google for the sale of links. But, then there is a certain question that comes up…

If ProBlogger was not selling links, why did he lose his Page Rank? There are a couple of speculations out there pertaining to why he lost it. The first is that he required a link back to his blog for ONE of the contests and I believe that may have irritated Google. The second reason is that he did not have adsense on his blog anymore and that could have irritated Google. Could it be the first or the last? Could this be a way of Google trying to get more money from adsense or adwords?

This last thought comes up because of WidgetBucks losing its ranking in the search engines. If you look, WidgetBucks does not exist at all on the search engine anymore EXCEPT as a paid ad. If they are willing to spend the money, they can be seen, but not naturally in the search engines. Could ALL of this really be some sort of a ploy to make more money for Google? Google has been knocking a lot of big time blogs down in PR. A lot of sites are disappearing from the results. Is Google trying to make more money? Is that all this has become? Does Google care about their search engine results or just how much money they can make? WHY is Google removing the PR of so many bloggers? Why?
