Well it looks like Shaun Carter dot Com just got the Google PR bitchslap down to a big fat zero. So, I guess there is a pagerank update underway and you may want to check your sites as well and see what your new rank is.

Is stock in Yahoo! a screaming buy now that it has fallen to its pre-Microsoft offer levels?
I’m not sure what Yahoo has up its sleeves for the future, but Jerry Yang will have to come up with a solution (very quickly) to recover the share price or face losing his job at the company he [...]

I have decided to do a little test here by eliminating the NoFollow attribute on comments using the Lucia’s Linky Love plugin. I am hoping this will bring more people to the blog and foster some more discussion

This is exactly the move I was hoping for. Depending on how traders take the news on Monday, Yahoo shares could climb if they believe Microsoft will make a counter-offer or they could [...]

I’ve been watching the news relating to the Microsoft bid for Yahoo very closely and I think that an increased bid around $40-45 per share could be in the offing. I am considering entering a position in Yahoo for this very reason as it appears that there is very little worry of any antitrust issues [...]

Google dipped below $500 per share on Monday and Tuesday before climbing back out of the doldrums Tuesday morning. Google is suffering from missing its earnings estimate and from the news of a potential Yahoo buyout.
Both of those events contributed to the plummeting stock price of Google and has made the price extremely attractive for [...]

I recently added a second web proxy to my network, Rasta Proxy. The other proxy in my network is Unblock YouTube dot Com.
I am growing my network more slowly than most and try to build up traffic and SEO before moving onto the next one. So far, Unblock YouTube is doing well as it is [...]
