Blogoxide Blog

The fever of Google penalization is still extremeous. Though some are out of it, but many are still on the way to mend their backlinks and strategies of course. Lizza posted a link on v7n Forums, and on exploring the link here I’ve come to know that the site owners who paid for the blogposts are now trying to get their link removed that they’ve got in those particular blogs via Pay Per Post and similar sort of sites.

This is absolutely to remove the paid link tag, but the point to ponder is that, will this thing lead to shrink the paid links economy. I don’t think so it’ll do so, but yes, it will at least be a threat for PAy Per Post and similar sites, as bloggers and link sellers do have other ways to sell links and buyers also know the non disclosure thing.

Well, whatever it is, but coming to know that people are paying for the removal of link, i wished I could have at least 10 such  links on my blog! lolz!

After a long wait round the google circles it’s updated now, good for some and not so good for others. For me it was so so! My personal blog and students’ resources blog remained there where they’ve been before the update, my writers’ blog and this one along with the main blog directory got 2 points of PR. To some extent it was good, when I see problogger being hit.

The PR fever according to some experts is loosing it’s essence but if you’re involved in selling ad space on your blog or link selling thing, you’ll still find the majority of buyer PR geeks. Well whatever the PR results I got from this update, I’m not sad (probably I didn’t improve or didn’t make the effort till the level it was needed), but I really liked google’s policy for keeping the sites with good content at top.

A burning debate at blogosphere now a days, is the ‘do follow’ movement. Almost all bloggers are much aware of the no follow/do follow links, but still many things are confusing in it. Mostly people take ‘no follow’ as a link not followed by search engines, and hence they avoid it considering it useless. But in actual the function of no follow varies in different search engines. All the search engines follow this link but google doesn’t index it while yahoo and some others do index the page as well.

With this reference the do follow movement now a days is the hot topic to discuss. Many bloggers are removing the no follow from their comments and are letting others to share the PR juice. This is good for new blogs to develop their readership, content via comments and of course popularity, but what if they again put the no follow thing if they get decent PR.

I’ve been round the do follow blogs for a week or so, and almost all are happy following others, but I didn’t find any of them talking about the future perspective. I’m in search of few answers in this regard, but still not sure who’ll answer them. I asked some of do followers but didn’t get the point or either they didn’t understand what I meant.

Anyways, the do follow buzz is hot now a days, let’s see if the no follow comes to happen again. Any views will be highly appreciated.
