We cant just say that goodje is outright bad just because it spanks the pageranks of blogs that write commercial posts.

Imaging, google justifies pageranks for sites from the link popularity that a site has got, and that too with the pagerank of the site from which it comes. So, if you use your PR 2 site to get paid links, you are just exploiting the ranking that google has givne you, and that is not ethical. So no wonder you get spanked.

Still, if you want to advertise, and give your cleints linkbacks along with a good review, go to izearanks and get ranked, and you will get advertisments based on that rank, if you are so desperate to make money out of your blog.

Then again, blogs are supposed to be free information, how ever you can place PPC ads, ads that dont affect page ranks of other sites. And google spanks you only if it finds that you have been doing commercial advertising. It has ways to find out you know. Plenty of ways. All of a sudden its crawlers see same links with the same anchor text in hundreds of blogs, and it finds out that it is a paid post, and if it finds too many such instances in a bunch of blogs, it spanks all of them

How to save yourself from that? have an ad to real posts of 1 : 10, that is, for every single commercial post that you write, write 10 normal posts, the 11th again being a commercial post. Google might forgive you for that. Otherwise, if you run a blog like mine, dont even expect that google would let you keep your page rank for ever no matter how much traffic or links that you have to your site.

Its summer again, and whats the best way to blow off some heat? Visit the beach of a Pool. Well, I have both in my place, and I prefer the pool, since the beaches are not so neat at Pondicherry.

I would always want to go to the pool with pool toys as going to the pool is just not about swimming, but playing with friends as well. Though I have a budget for all these things, for people with their own pool have a very wide range of stuff to choose from for their pools such as floats, inflatables, lounges, basket ball, table tennis and a whole range of other stuff. To know what else is available, checkout poolandbeachtoys.com

Askimet is the most popular spam blocker for wordpress, and recaptcha is another plugin that asks for human verification while one tries to enter comment. I have seen many scripts that byepass recaptcha and get the comments entered into database. One good thing about wordpress is that none of the comments are published without moderation, and therefore it doesnt make much difference, but still it takes manual work to filter spam manually from the huge list that would be waiting in the queue.

Askimet is a very good plugin, that checks wordpress’s database for possible spam with all comment entries and blocks them automatically and holds them for 30 days. So about every 30 days you can visit the askimet page to find out if any legitimate message is there, you can go and mark it as not spam, and it will get displayed on the posts.
