Do you have a keen eye? Here is a piece of fun, we have taken two pictures fo the beautiful Paris Hilton now in the second picture we have made some minor alteration. There are four in total, see if you can find them all.
If you think you have found them go to the next page to see the answers.
Changes are alway being put in googles algorithm. They have new rules designed to identify links that are being paid for and pervent them from passing page rank. So with this in mind what is the way forward for people selling text links?
So there are some simple things that reduce the risk the filter would pick up the link, to start with get rid of ‘advertisements' or ‘sponsored links' captions that are commonly above them. Another idea is to put the link within a paragraph alternatively place the link in the internal site navigation, at least ry to avoid sticking them in a easily identifiy able chunk.
Recently the most talked about form of internet marketing is to write articles and allow them to be freely reproduced, with links to your website.. The idea is that you compose a article then place a link to your website at the bottom and then other people place the article on their website for all their visitors to see. So not only do you get a one-way inbound links on very relevant pages, and you get plugged on someone else site to boot.
Which all sounds great what with the constant rumours about reciprocal linking being dead.
I'm am still to be convinced, that this is really such a god send. Article marketing in my opinion requires a lot of skill.

Recently I got caught up in a thread on a forum about if outgoing links reduce the amount of Page Rank on your site. The discussion went on for ages going around in circles mainly because chrishirst was wrong and refused to be beaten by a newbi, upstart like myself. He was resovled that:
At the end of the day PR as shown on the toolbar is of NO use for gaining useful convertable rankings.
You can read the thread here, you can see why I didn’t want to quit. The conversation is bizarre, even though I had back up every point with evidence he still refused to admit that he may be wrong.
The debate was completely ground to a halt because; He could not get his head around how if the calculation was based only on incoming links how could outgoing links reduce the amount og Page Rank.
We repeated the same points for ages, I tried to explain that the formula was done from scratch so all that it needed was for the calculated value to be less than it was before to have effectively been ‘drained’ but to no avail.
NO I understand that you need to agree on these points on how the Page Rank calculation works:
This is how I like to think of the calulation. Bear in mind this is highly simplified (also if you look at the actual equation the specifics are wrong, it designed to make it easier to understand like went you find out that everythign you learnt in GCSE physic was all a lie when you do A Level Physic).
At the begining of the equation each index page is given a value of 1; part of this value is given as a vote which is divided between all of the pages that it links to. So a new value is calulated. This bit everyone agrees on, Pagerank is calulated from incoming links.
This is where it gets slighty more complicated, the calculation is then repeated starting with the new values, so the pervious pagerank that has been gain on pervious calulation can be passed on. The equation is done over and over again. So because your vote is devided between the pages that you have links to, if you link to pages that are voting for you then in the next calculation (vote) you are going to end up with more page rank than if you would have linked to a lot of pages that do not link back to you.
So that is the main point if you link out of your own website, to a site that does not link back. The pagerank is not coming back to your site so you are going to drain/leak/lose pagerank.
What effect page rank has on how well your site is ranked? That is the million dollar question.

Today I’ve been playing with adobe photoshop. I discovered this gif whilst surfing the web and have been playing about using the built in filters. Cool eh
This is done using Facet.
Not sure if this work it’s the plastic coating effect.
Last but not least some killer stuff I found. Have you ever wanted to design your own personal rug? have a look at these ones. Another plug for a friedn of mine, he makes really high quality oak doors.
Now I have the delight of dispensing alchole at a wedding recepition for Aquila catering. This may be hard work, I have only done it once and I was good, but I can’t stand being at a party and not being drunk. Last time I did it, I hated it these were a low down on my favorite parts:
but to lighten the mood:
