Again a Google Toolbar PageRank Update!?
Posted: Sat 01/12/2008 by ramiroIt looks like Google updated the toolbar PageRank again. The Search Status Firefox extensions just informed me about that. Two of my sites, including SEO Expert Blog, each lost one point. Additionally, I tried some free online SEO tools to check what they tell me, but none of them returned any data on PageRank, so I assume that Search Status tells the truth.
The Google toolbar could help here, but I really don't want to install that Google spyware extension. Anyway, as long as the traffic that comes from the big G does not decrease, I don't give a toss about it. Even if it decreases, I won't let Google dictate how I build my websites.

To get rid of Google's own ugly paid link advertising, that often points to useless spammy looking sites you can use the following methods discussed in this article:

Porn.org using Drupal
Posted: Mon 05/28/2007 by ramiroUsually it's Dries who announces what big sites use Drupal. In my referrer log I noticed a recent visitor was searching Google for Drupal Porn and came here. Being a curious guy, I checked out the SERPs and learned that Porn.org is using Drupal.
Being even more curious, I looked for more data on Porn.org using some of the free SEO tools I recommend for SEO related tasks. The domain is older than 8 years and Porn.org should attract lots of visitors.
