I'm still recovering from my short "holiday" in Poland, where I not
only managed to "lose" my mobile phone, but we also missed our
return flight (by 5 hours) as the flight time had been moved
without our realizing...
doh!
We ended up getting standby places on a flight to another UK
airport and hiring a car to drive back to our original airport to
then drive home, which made it a looong day!

Google have finally (after 6 months) done a PR update this weekend.
There are a lot varying opinions on it being posted in SEO forums
and Google do seem to have penalised some (previously) high PR
sites that are known to sell text links.
So what's my opinion on this PR update?
Well, I've had the chance to go through a whole bunch of my sites
today and here's what I've seen so far:
some of my higher PR sites (PR 5 & 6) have dropped by 1 PR, but I'm
not too surprised as most of these sites I haven't been working on
getting new links to for quite some time, and it shows that if you
want to retain and increase your pagerank you do need to treat
getting backlinks as an ongoing process.
the sites that I've been using 3WayBackLinks.com,
BacklinkSolution.com and BetterThanLinks.com with have all gone up
in PR by 2, 3 or 4 points/places, so I'm pretty happy with the
results from these tools.
I've also got a bunch of blogs that I've done nothing but post
content to and these have all either gone up in PR or kept their
existing PR.
Those that were PR0 before are all now PR3 or 4 from just posting
enough content and letting them pick up links naturally. I will
start using the backlink services with these to see how much PR
they get in the next update.
My BetterThanLinks.com blog has gone straight to PR4 without having
to get any backlinks to it, so I'll be continuing to use that and
posting links to my sites from it.
the only sites I have that have actually gone down in PR are those
where I haven't added any new backlinks to since before the last PR
update, and even these have mostly only gone down 1 PR.
I believe Google have raised the bar a bit for each level of PR, to
make it a little harder to achieve
At the same time it appears to me that they have added something to
downgrade your site's PR if there are no new links appearing after
a certain period of time, especially if there are no new links
since the last PR update.
all in all I'm quite happy with the results after this PR update,
and if you've now got sites that are PR4+ you really should be
monetizing them with the LazyGitMarketing.com method...
There are also a couple of places left in Article Explosion
(http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=IqtnK&m=1fKgQOrNnLTyQr&b=PRTiSza2ez0eT8g5zg9p2w), so if you want to be ready for
the next PR update grab a place now to get your own sites pre
designed for you, then just use 3WayBackLinks.com and/or
BacklinkSolution.com to get a load of good quality links to your
site, so you can start making even more money with the
LazyGitMarketing.com method when the next PR update rolls around...
