I was browsing around my sites the other day and noticed that PR has once again been updated. To my delight, my poker blog, www.pokeryak.com, has moved up to a PR2 from it’s previous PR0. I attest this to a recent move to a wordpress blog format. I have been posting unique articles often and I will continue to do so in hopes that the site will gain more popularity. Also, my MFA article site, www.infouniverse.com (which I had abandoned months ago) has somehow moved up to a PR2. I have no idea how this happened considering there is no backlinks and absolutely ZERO unique content. I’m not going to complain…it has over 300 pages indexed, so hopefully I can get some adsense coin from it!

That’s where the good news ends. I discovered that my making money online site, www.richlowerclassjerk.com has dropped from a recent PR4 down to a PR2. I have not really spent a lot of time updating this site recently, so this is probably the reason for the PR drop. I have 8 unique articles that I haven’t published yet, so i’m going to get on that right away. Also, I recently sold my dog blog for $48 on ebay, after I considered it a failure after failing to generate any income or PR. Sadly, a day after I sold it I came to find that the site has now moved up to a PR3. With that ranking, I probably could have sold it for $500 on SitePoint….live and learn I guess!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I paid the money for the automated roulette program and I am currently working with the seller to configure it to my computer resolution settings.

I have to say that I was very skeptical at first whether I was going to recieve this program (or if it would work), but I am confident that it will work. I have done some initial tests and that has proven to me that this program will work. There are some modifications and tweaks that still need to be done, so look for another update later next week when I give it a full trial run on the play money tables.

I also have a guy working on a poker bot for me, but not much to update at this point. I expect this project to take at least a month or two to finish.

Currently the auction is up to $23.00US with 4 days remaining.

I knew that there was going to be a pagerank update in the near future, but I didn’t expect it to be in July. I thought I would have another month or so to build links for www.blogthedogs.com. With that being said, my dog blog did not get an increase in pagerank.

However, I was able to get a PR2 for this site as well as a PR4 (up from PR3) on www.richlowerclassjerk.com. RLCJ also has some PR2 and PR3 inner pages as a result of the pagerank update as well.

I’m going to use my updated pagerank and Digital Point to build backlinks through link exchanges with other high PR sites.

Back in March, I was banned from DigialPoint forums for bumping a thread I created several times. I knew what I was doing was against the rules and I got caught for it, so the only person to blam was myself.

Being away from DigitalPoint for almost 4 months now has really opened my eyes to how much I used it in the past. I’m trying to get some link exchanges for my Dog Blog and sell links on my PR3 Make Money site, but there’s just not a lot of other resources out there. I’ve recently discovered sitepoint, which is great for selling websites, but they lack in terms of people looking to exchange links and buy them.

The other thing I miss is all the backlinks I get from putting my links in my signature. Once you’re banned, you signature disappears until your ban is lifted. So once i’m back on DP, I should see my backlink numbers rise significantly, since I have almost 500 posts in DP.

There’s a lesson in all this. Follow the rules….because you’ll never know how much you rely on something until it’s taken away.
