Google Tantrums

Well its seems to be the topic of many, (well that would be an understatement), is the Google Page Ranks. Personally I am just a bit fed up with it. It seems to me that Google is just throwing a tantrum because some companies have come up with other means of affordable advertising for businesses. I am sorry but in all honestly for Google to implement a page rank that everyone runs around in circles doing all they can to become a PR 1 is nuts. Unless your paying out the wazoo for the sponsored links, forget it folks.

The way I see this, its like having the different television networks and cable networks, all the newspaper, magazines, and junk mail that comes to your snail mail each and every day. To get your name out there, or product you advertise! So really what is the big deal for blogs who do paid posting? Why penalize them? I do paid blogging. Majority of web sites all have some form of paid advertising, say for example banners. So what is the difference between a banner or a word linked? It’s my site, it’s my blog, its my choice!

Another thing that is annoying while on the subject is whether or not I choose to link a word in my blog post, whether sponsored or not. That again really is my choice as its my blog. I have friends from all over the world and perhaps I talk about a place or product that they never heard of, they email me and ask me what it is, so now I just link it in my post. Again its my blog and if I want to link to a site, a post, what ever I will do it!

Hey you want to take away my page rank then go for it. So why not remove my Google toolbar and don’t use them for searches anymore, going to cancel my gmail account today that I set up for just blog contact purposes only. I am just one lil byte in the world of zillions of bytes so that really isn’t going to hurt or phase them now is it?

Some paid per posting company use the page ranking as a tool in which offers you can post. The higher your page rank the higher paid opportunities you have. So how is this going to play into that? Folks who had those high page ranks before doing paid opportunities are going to start being penalized and perhaps they paid google for the advertising to get their ranking where they are? Won’t that just tick them off? Hey sure I like to make the bigger money. I have a family I take care off, bills to pay and if it can keep me at home taking care of my family and continue to provide care to my father, then I am going to do it. Every little bit helps. Nothing wrong with that. I pay my taxes just like everyone else does.

Another thing that irks me is for years, since I opened my domain and blog I have used the same color for all text including linking and visited links. I use the no underline linking code to make my pages look more neat. So now its a big deal and have to have another shade of text for linking? What the hell is that about? That annoys me to no end and makes me really think about my future with one of the paid posting companies I blog for. Again its my blog, my choice and its getting to be just as bad as the pixel girls changing their terms so much that one can not keep up any more. End result there? I walked away and said forget it. MY loss money wise, not theirs.

So it boils down to greed. I honestly don’t see where this is hurting Google with folks doing paid postings. I mean its not like I am using a FREE blog, selling memberships to their blog to download their goodies they make, or using a free blog to generate money from paid postings. I bought my domain and pay for my hosting space. It’s mine as I stipulate in my disclosure and if you don’t like it, tough noogies!!

So I am not going to fret over my page ranking, anymore.  It is what it is.  I am going to continue to do my thing that I enjoy to do and that’s that and if that means by continuing to do my paid postings or continue to link to sites in my blog entries, then that is my choice.  If I end up with a zero page rank then so be it.  I didn’t open my blog to win a contest or become the queen of all blogs.  Its an endless rat race folks.  Don’t give them the satisfaction.
