lol not sure I even want to try. Could take ages.


Hmmm a few hours spent talking to people in other countries might do it. Especially if their currency is stronger than yours. But it might take months still to rack that amount up.

What unnerves me even more is when I get junk mail from sites I've never been to. I mean, I do get to a lot of sites but I would surely remember if I used my email address on any of them. What I think happens is that they take your email address, add it to a list and many of them sell that email list to the highest bidder. I've actually seen forums where they do this. The higher the conversion rate from that list, the more they get from it.

Honestly, I feel a bit like a sheep thinking about it.

LOL. I can understand that, I just think they have way too much time on their hands. Being the leader in everything doesn't necessarily mean you're the best out there. 'Tis like the Japenese proverb of the man trying to catch two rabbits at once. In the end he didn't catch either one.

lol I prefer neither, but then I have an unnatural aversion to social networks.

I just feel that software like that makes it too dang easy for netherworld SEO'ers to cause havoc and link spam the stuffing out of the normal folk.

There's a lot more to life than High PR sites (just like there's more to life than Google). IMHO, only targeting high PR sites will land you in some hot water faster than you can blink. I feel exactly the same way with the whole do follow vs no follow yarn.

Maybe its because I'm a marketer and not an SEO, but seriously, this is getting to be a bit much now. SEO is only one part of what you're meant to do with your site. Optimize it and then spread the word.

From what I was taught, link building must first and foremost be natural. If you are going to build links to your site, then it needs to look like a normal person did it, and to be deadly serious not many normal people out there know about or even care about high PR sites. If they want to share, they share, regardless of PR, do follow or no follow.

This is what Google looks for. When a site generates so many High PR and Do follow links, and the site itself is not truly worth being as popular as it is, Google investigates and the site is downgraded or iced.

I agree with relevancy though, I mean, you're not going to promote a site about ice cream on another site about wheel spanners. 'Twould be ludicrous.

To me, there are more important things to worry about than getting a page ranked higher (or a site even for those that still believes that Google indexes websites and not pages :P lol). The site itself needs to be well designed, the content needs to be engaging and interesting, and you need to have an outstanding presence in forums and social networks. Here is where it gets interesting though. Many who are obsessed with page rank etc. don't care about the site itself. They slap up some second grade site and then start building links heavily, only going for high PR and do follow. The page then makes it to page one, and reaches the top, and et voila, now the battle continues to keep it there. BUT, the site itself has a high bounce rate, extremely few visitors and no conversions.

feng shui. 'Tis all about balance.

Hmmm mind telling me why?

*backs away from Clive slowly*

lol Dang, gross guys :P honestly.

Then again, Plane crashes high in the mountains have brought that urge on as well. lol...

Still, tis not something I need around here, seriously.

Makes a mental note to bring her own coffee perculator with. lol.

Thats the thing, I would love to know if the stores tested were chain stores or random little stores only in those areas.

I don't know about food prices increasing, but I know people are goig to think twice before buying meat.
