Don’t Believe the SEO

You should be careful what you believe when reading about search engines in seo forums, most of the time the stuff is posted by the type of people who think they’ve been placed in the “sandbox” if the affiliate site they made last week doesn’t rank #1 in Google yet for the keyword “business”. People have unreasonable expectations and when they don’t reach those unreasonable goals they make up theory after theory about how Google is punishing them.

Just wanted to point this blogout to anyone who might be interested.

Yes, PageRank isn’t Showing in Google’s Toolbar

Just so everyone understands

Toolbar isn’t real PageRank

Okay?

Now, let me explain in easy terms. Do you recall the last time someone took a photo of you? Maybe last week, a couple months ago, or whenever? Is that photo you or just an image of you? An image, right? Well, think of what the toolbar says (or used to say) as a snapshot photo of what real PageRank used to be, just like a photo shows what you used to look like at a specific point in history.

Now, tell me, would it make logical sense that if someone took away that recent photo of you, that you would then determine that you no longer exist?
