With much enthusiasm and equally much concern, there are clear signs that a new Google PageRank update is happening right now as we speak.

Most of you, web site owners, publishers and SEO consultants, are probably dreading these updates just as much as I do: after a period of working hard into acquiring new valuable links, the inevitable question is “Will I be rewarded? And if so, just how much?”

Let’s take a glimpse into what the new PageRank update is bringing:

First, let’s see what will your page’s new PageRank be?

If you haven’t done this yet, check the page(s) that interest you using a Future PageRank tool (available from http://www.teawithedge.com/google_pr_update.html ).

This simple tool sends queries to known Google data centers in order to retrieve the PageRank of the given URL. It should normally show the same PageRank for all centers, however, if you run the tool during an actual PageRank update, you can see variations from one data center to another thus previewing what your page’s future PageRank will be.

Caught any changes?

Whatever the answer, there are some logical explanations for it.

After studying the performance of several web sites, these are the conclusions I have come upon:

1. The trend to reward links from content-related web sites continues.

Web sites that have focused on gathering quality links, both reciprocal and non-reciprocal, from web sites with related content, shall expect to see their efforts to be successful: a relatively small amount of related links, even if reciprocal, proves to be much more beneficial than thousands of totally unrelated links.

However, one must not forget that climbing on the PageRank ladder becomes increasingly difficult as you ascend. If your web site already had a good PageRank before this update (i.e. 4 and above) it is possible not to see an improvement on the 0 to 10 scale. The true PageRank scale is exponential: the distance from 3 to 4 is much smaller than the distance from 4 to 5, and the distance from 4 to 5 is tiny compared to the distance from 5 to 6!

Multi Level marketing is appealing to many. It offers the opportunity to work part time with potential to make full time wages. Some people make quite a bit of money with these programs, but it requires hard work to get to the top.

Choosing a multi level marketing program can be difficult. There are so many of them, and they will all offer you the potential to get rich with minimal effort. Here are some suggestions for choosing a muli level marketing program.

Start with a program that find interesting. This is a part-time job, and you want to pick something you enjoy.

When choosing a multi level marketing program, look for something new, something that not everybody is already doing. It helps if the product caters to a growing or underserved market.

Start with a company that has been in business for several years. Some MLM companies don’t last.

Watch for unrealistic sales quotas before choosing a multi level marketing program. Some programs actually seem to set you up for failure.

Talk to as many people in the program as you can. Use the internet for research.

When choosing a multi level marketing program, there are many factors to consider. Remember that these programs are about selling, and the various programs will try to sell you on why theirs is the best. Find a program with products that interest you and then find out as much as possible about it. Choose well and enjoy your second income.

Over this year I have decided to focus on natural search engine traffic for the Home Based Business site.

Last few days have been a reminder of how fickle the search engines can be. One day you have a world record (well in your own mind) number of keywords with high ranking, then – bam – no warning all listings disappear.

I happened to me yesterday. Everything gone from MSN. Having checked the forums it seems this is pretty normal and usually the listing reappear.

In the past when this has happened the cause has been tracked to keyword density, with some of the new content taking densities past the limit. This time though 90% of my backlinks disappeared. All pages where affected.

One of my larger keyword has been relisted today (phew !) so am hoping the rest will find their way back over the next few days.

Speaking of websites – still waiting for WordPress to be updated to V2.01. Fantastico scripts must almost be done by now. Can’t wait to get into developing the next site without the hassel to the current bugs in 2.0

Have had good success in the last few weeks with search engine listings. Now have six keywords on the first page in MSN.

Traffic from these is generating an average of $3 per day. Not big money by anyones standards but a start. I’ve read that you get traffic from MSN first, then Yahoo then Google.

Now I know the formula its just a matter of adding more and more keywords and as the traffic grows so too will the income. I reckon its time to have a go at a two word keyword.

The key was finding a small E-Book called SEO Made Easy. It is a free giveaway as part of the SEO-Elite promotion. When I followed the instructions in the E-Book my search engine rankings lifted. What more can I say.

There has been some severe pain also. I wrote last time that I had settled on WordPress as the basis for future websites. Made the mistake of upgrading to 2.0 without keeping my backups. Serious, serious error. Ended up dumping the whole site as it introduced several bugs which made the no longer viable.

Good news though WP2.01 is out. Just need to wait until its available through Fantastico and (cross fingers) looking at the bug sheet, the problems I was experiencing will be gone. Will be so pleased to be back to building up the work at home site.
