I’m happy and at the same time disappointed. Google just updated (I think it’s over) and:
Blogspot Blog: The one I lately have almost only been writing paid posts (from PU2B) in and the one I only don’t stop writing there because I have some sidebar links for one year, just got a PR2 (it was a PR3 before the first big spank).
Useful and Funny Stuff blog: still a PR0 but this was no big surprise.
Buy Better and Have a Better Life: Once it was a PR3 than during the big spank got a PR0 and now it got a PR2. This is great news since I love to write on that blog.
This blog, Laura’s Daily Life, that once was a PR3, then a PR0 now still a PR0. Big disappointment since I wanted to develop this blog with paid reviews and posts.
On the other hand, I fully understand the PR0. This blog has few content, I neglected it to write PU2B posts on my other three blogs since I don’t want to write here PU2B, so… due to lack of time this blog was the less updated and now here’s the payout = PR0. No problem, I’m moving forward, cancelled PU2B in one blog and I’m going to work hard on this blog to have better content.
A curious think that happened to me was my blog Buy Better and Have a Better Life not being approved by Social Spark. The reason: I only blog for money and I have too many affiliate links. Since when affiliate links count as a paid posts? I review some products and I provide a link in case people want to buy it, as some other bloggers do, I sometimes use an affiliate link. Is this not correct? I don’t mind not putting affiliate links, the truth is: I never made 1$ from affiliates so I can stop using them, or are they expecting me to buy WP Affiliate pro to hide my affiliate links?
I also started using links to other blogs when I have a word or subject that fits in something someone wrote. Is this wrong?
Through Entrecard, I found a lot of new blogs, some with very good content but some with lots and lots of paid posts and still with PR, how is this possible? I checked some profiles in SocialSpark and I can see there are verified blogs with lots and lots of paid posts and reviews from products received. My Useful Stuff blog also has a lot of PU2B posts and was verified… Why wasn’t my Buy Better and Have a Better Life???? I sent a ticket…
Right now in Social Spark I can’t take opps from the marketplace for my PR2 blog…one day I will.
Let’s improve real rank now, mine sucks and I lose many opps at PayPerPost because of that, so, lets write….
