Google should be updating PageRank over the next few days. Keep your eyes open and see how this update reflects on your site. If your pagerank does not go up or possibly goes down, do not worry. PageRank is not very important when it comes to where your website ranks, it is more of a reflection of the work you have put in to make your site popular. I love to see pagerank climb on my websites, it lets me know that Google sees the SEO work I have put in on my sites. 

SEOFriendly.com’s pagerank has not changed or went up for sometime now, I don’t know if it ever will. We get more traffic now than ever before and that makes me happy. I would trade page rank for traffic anyday.

Happy PageRank Checking!

Social Wall Of Fame – PeepWall.com

An interesting new website has popped up online this week called PeepWall.com “The Social Wall Of Fame”. The website allows individuals to purchase 1 or more of 625 total blocks on the homepage where you can upload an image and link it to your social profile site (Like Twitter), blog, or website. Each spot is only $10.00 and will become a permanent fixture on the website and archived in internet history. The website itself has no other purpose other than featuring those that are listed on the home page.

The site gives “advertisers” an affordable opportunity to gain some internet fame by being 1 of only 625 people allowed on the website. The site has the feel of the famous MillionDollarHomePage that was created and launched in 2005 by Alex Tew a student that wanted to earn money to pay his way through school. The MillionDollarHomePage received worldwide attention and actually sold $1,000,000.00 worth of ad space over a short period of time.

The MillionDollarHomePage was geared toward businesses to promote their company. PeepWall is geared toward individuals to promote themselves and their social presence. Businesses can still buy a block but must upload an image of an individual if possible.

PeepWall.com does not stand to make 1 Million Dollars, but hopes that the project will offer a little fun and PR for social media addicts and a small profit at the same time. The sites revenue is limited to $6,250.00 which is a far cry from 1 million. The creators of PeepWall, 2 Roanoke VA based web promoters and entrepreneurs say that all they want to take home from this project is the fun and sense of accomplishment.

A portion of the money earned will be donated to a local charity to be announced later. They are thinking of donating some of the funds to a local homeless shelter or support agency for the homeless. “We see our fair share of homeless and less fortunate people since our office is downtown” says Nick one of the creators. He wanted to make it clear that only a portion of the revenue will go a charity and the rest will be saved to cover costs associated with building, hosting, maintaining, and promoting the website. Advertising on the site is not tax deductible and the site is not a non-profit agency.

Purchasing a “block” on the website is easy. Simply click on the space (block) you wish to purchase and follow the payment process. After your image and link attached are approved your “Block” will go live for the world to see!

For more information on PeepWall.com visit them online.

Increasing your websites conversion ratio and trust factor is very important in today’s competitive online market. There is a company called trust guard that we just started using for our online businesses. There are several reasons why you need trust guard for your website. I think that the biggest benefit of using trust guard is the fact that you will gain more consumer/client trust. The service will tell users that your are safe to deal with and that your business is verified. The company does have a verification process that will allow them to identify you and your business. 

Try It Today Click Here

Here are 3 of the seals that you can obtain from trust guard to display on your website. The business verified seal is great for reputation management and gaining trust from online buyers. The security seal and privacy seal would be for sites that possible offer downloads or collect private information.

Below is a video spot the company made to help promote their service.  I really believe that trust guard will help your conversions and or sales. Give their service a try. I normally do not endorse products on my blog but this one is one that I know is valuable and well worth looking in to.

For those of you who like to see what Google thnks about your website popularity, the Google PageRank update has started! Today at about 7 AM EST I noticed many of our domains were getting an increase in Pagerank. So far it looks like the update will put a smile on a few peoples faces.

We recently posted a Google PageRank predictive schedule and we suspected an update before April 10th. It is not the end of the world if your site does not increase in PR or decreases in PR, these updates (Good or Bad) will most likely not change your web traffic stats.

Happy PageRank Day!

We have a lot of webmasters ask the big PR questions very frequently: When is the next Google PageRank Update?

 

The truth is no one knows exactly when the next PageRank update by Google will actually take place. Based off of their past updates I created the unofficial Google PageRank Update Schedule. The “schedual” is my estimate on when the next PageRank update will take place.

 

PageRank Update Schedual:

 

Google PageRank Update  -   December 31, 2009 – January 10, 2010
First PageRank Update      -    March 31, – April 10, 2010
Second PageRank Update  -  June 31, 2010 – July 10, 2010
Third PageRank Update    -    December 31, 2010 – January 10, 2011

 

What is pagerank? PageRank is a numeric value that represents how important a page is on the web (Per Google). Google calculates that when one page links to another page, it is effectively casting a vote for the other page. The more votes (Links) that are cast for a page, the more important the page must be. Also, the importance of the page that is casting the vote (Linking To You) determines how important the vote (Link) itself is. Google calculates a page’s importance from hw many pages and what pages link to it.

 

PageRank is a scale of 0-10

 

Post a comment and let us know when you think the next updat will be or tell us when your site was last updated!

First, let’s get the most common question out of the way: Will rip off report remove the complaint about my company from their website? The simple answer is NO. RipOffReport.com has been online for over 10 years and they have purportedly NEVER removed a complaint from their website. The website even states that “We never remove a rip off report, even if the original author requests it.”

 

Rip off report is protected by the CDA (Communications Decency Act) which in short states that a website owner is not legally responsible or liable for the content a “user” posts on their website or network.

 

So why do companies like Reputation Armor say they can “Remove” rip off reports? The term “Remove” simply refers to the process of removing the links to the rip off reports from the top of search results, so when people search your name on Google they do not find the rip off reports (At Least Not Ranking High).

 

How do companies like Reputation Armor remove rip off reports (RipOffReport.com) from the top of search engine results?

 

The process is commonly referred to as Online Reputation Management, but technically it is Search Engine Optimization they removes it from the top of Google and SE’s.

 

The process is comprised of 2 main elements, Fresh Content and Link Building. There are dozens of other ingredients needed but it would take weeks to write them all on this page. To give you an idea of the BASIC process of how it may work we have listed some of the tactics below.

 

  • Create Fresh Content: Make new keyword optimized social profiles, Blogs, Mini-Websites, Articles, press releases and more. Use websites and tools like Wordpress, PeoplePond, Linkedin, Twitter, FaceBook, YouTube, Flickr and so on.
  • SEO Your Ass Off!: Now comes the hard part (Or Expensive), start SEO to all of the content you created. Example: If you make a Twitter account, add a link to your twitter account from your other accounts, fid others to link to your twitter account to boost its popularity and find followers. Remember to update your accounts including Twitter on a regular basis. There are hundres of SEO Tips you can find online.
  • Link Building: Link building falls under SEO, it is actually off-site SEO and in my opinion is very important, if not the most important facet.
  • Stay Digitally Active: Stay active online on social networks like twitter, and keep your online content updated!

 

To get professional help removing a rip off report, you can hire a reputation management firm.

RipOffReport.com Website Is Having Troubles

 

The extremely popular and mostly loathed rip off report website has been having some type of technical issues over the past week or so. The website RipOffReport.com is an online complaint site that allows ANYONE to file online complaints against businesses and as of lately a lot of individuals. The website has been under fire over the past few years because of their “business” model. The major beef most people and businesses have with rip off report is they allow people to post ANYTHING on the site without verification of identity, and legitimacy.

 

There has been a little web chatter about the website being down for the past 10 days. The website is not actually down for everyone, but is running extremely slow. One can only speculate what the issue is. It could be an attempt by an enemy of rip off reports to put a hurting on their ad revenue and complaint flow, or it could be that rip off report is under going some sort of maintenance.

 

Rip off report has been featured on all sorts of blogs, news stations, newspapers, and websites because of the controversy that surrounds the website and its owner Ed Magedson. The website even has an entire industry that partially revolves around it called “Online Reputation Management”. One company called Reputation Armor offers to “remove rip off reports” although the website claims to never remove rip off reports even if the original author requests it. Reputation Armor took a moment to explain that removing a rip off report refers to removing the rip off report links from the top of search results, not actually from the internet completely.

 

Some people are saying they hope the website goes down for good, and others say they like the power and visibility that ripoffreport.com gives them. Apparently the owner of rip off report is smarter than some think he is. He continues to operate one of the most hated and popular websites on the internet, even when all odds are stacked against him.

 

What do you think about RipOffReport.com? Is it a fair system?
