Make Money Blogging Without Challenging Google

Page Rank Slapped By Google

I’ve seen a lot of blogmasters and webmasters lost their Page Rank due to selling text links and writing paidpost. Today, my make money blog lost it’s Page Rank too due to serving Text-Link-Ads. I happy make money with TLA by helping me to sell my text link last few months and paid me too. The happiness is just for temporary, you’ll be sad for permanent if your Page Rank slapped by Google and your pages have been de-indexed.

Google is very strict on blogs who are selling text links and writing paid post, Google will slap you if you don’t follow their rules! Many of bloggers out there asking how Google know we’re serving Text Link Ads? Don’t think that Google is stupid, they have a system to check it. When we’re ready to sell text links, we have to insert Code, we have to install plugin, this is how Google know we’re selling text links. Nobody kills your Page Rank but yourselves, me too.

What I Did Before Asking Google For Reconsideration?

You’re not recommended to ask Google why your PageRank has been took off without notification, because you should know what you’ve did. So, this is what I did before asking Google for reconsideration :

1) Take off Text Link Ads.
2) Check out what Google required.
3) Write a short note and tells Google what I’ve done (Stop selling text links) and request for reconsideration.
4) Wait …..

Google Webmaster Guideline – Basic Principles

Before you submit your reconsideration ticket to Google, read it. If your blog is full of violations, and you are brave enough to challenge Google by submitting your ticket, I wish you luck!

Quality guidelines – basic principles

  • Make pages primarily for users, not for search engines. Don’t deceive your users or present different content to search engines than you display to users, which is commonly referred to as “cloaking.”
  • Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you’d feel comfortable explaining what you’ve done to a website that competes with you. Another useful test is to ask, “Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn’t exist?”
  • Don’t participate in link schemes designed to increase your site’s ranking or PageRank. In particular, avoid links to web spammers or “bad neighborhoods” on the web, as your own ranking may be affected adversely by those links.
  • Don’t use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc. Such programs consume computing resources and violate our Terms of Service. Google does not recommend the use of products such as WebPosition Gold™ that send automatic or programmatic queries to Google.

If you are concern about your Page Rank, please read what Google want and require us to do, please make sure you’re not against Google TOS. I’m too naughty to sell text links and slapped by Google, I took off Text Link Ads because I like Page Rank more than money from TLA. I hope I can get back my Page Rank as soon as possible. After the lesson, I prefer to make money blogging without challenging Google.

Do you experienced Page Rank slapped by Google too?

Dear friend,

You still have a lot to learn. Trust me.

But from what i observe, you got slapped by google should not be due to selling of text-links-ads itself.

I see alot of flaws in your website as long as SEO is concerned but I prefer that you realize yourself.

However, I do agree that I learnt alot from your blog too as you have great content.

Enjoy blogging!

Haha. My site and all its pages was slapped with Google PR penalty too.

After some FIX, I mailed Google and they’ve restored my site completely within 3 days or so.

I did not remove anything! :D TNX is still there. TLA too.

Hello friend, refer to the following paragraph from one of your posts.

“I personally like traffics, traffic is the main key of making money by blogging. You’ll get nothing if you have zero traffic. ”

I know your keyword is “make money blogging” but if you are search engine, do you think above paragraph makes any sense?

Tell me do you make money if you have a lot of traffic? NO! You make money only if you have traffic & YOU MONETIZE YOUR BLOG WELL.

If I am search engine, I would definitely penalize you. The problem with your blog is, you focus too much on keywords and do not understand the meaning of your sentences.

I can don’t share this with you cos I dun even know you and you are my competitor. But still, I learnt from your blog, that’s why I enlighten you this.

Good luck!

Jason : Hi Jason, nice to see you here again. I think I understand what are you talking about, you’re saying Google don’t like that we’re spamming keyword without expressing the meaning of the article. I’ll look forward to this problem.

I really appreciate that you’re so kind to point out my problems. Hmm, do you mind to share with us your blog? Competitor also can be friend 1. We can improve together, right? =)

Anyway, Thank you Jason for commenting here. I hope you like here too. =)

bb community : Yea, sometimes comments are more attractive than article, so next time when you read an article, read it’s comments too, you can learn something new too if someone gave their opinions or suggestions too.

Lhurey : Oh great! How long Google took to give back your PR after sent your reconsideration to them? I’ve asked TLA whether I can change the text link to “nofollow” tag, but they said can’t. So I just stop using TLA, hope so I can get back my PR. I would say PR and search engine ranking is very important for a “long term investment”.

Btw, which text link company you served Lhurey? =)
