Snoskred – Life in the Country

This time last week, my site www.snoskred.org had a page rank of 4. Now, I seem to have a page rank of 3. I cannot work out why this would be so – all the advertising I have been doing is over at the old site, which continues to have a page rank of 4. However Wendy Piersall reports that Mommybloggers seem to have been hit. If that’s the case, perhaps someone should let Google know I have kitties, and not kids!

So now, here’s the plan. I’m giving up on Google, giving up on keeping track of what they are doing. I am no longer going to check my page rank. I’m going to do whatever I want to do here at my own blog, without reference to Google at all – that includes paid posting. They can punish me for nothing, if they like. I’m just going to do my best not to care.

That means the return of paid posts to this blog – you may have noticed I had stopped doing them for a little while there. But instead of keeping the money for me, I want to give some of it back to my readers. Here’s how the competition works.

- Write about the competition on your blog and link back to my blog however you like in that post – you receive 5 entries (be sure to comment on this post with a link to your post so I can make sure you get your entries)

- Comment here on the blog – you receive 1 entry. You can comment as many times as you like during the month. Each comment = 1 entry

- I will be putting entries into the prize drawing bowl daily.

On the 14th of December, I will draw the winners.

1st prize is $30US cash sent to your paypal account

2nd prize is $20US cash sent to your paypal account

3rd prize is $10US cash sent to your paypal account

On top of that there will be 5 extra prize packs which will be posted out – these will contain a mystery prize based on which country you are in and what I can safely post there. If you don’t have a paypal account you can easily open one to receive the money. Any questions?

So let’s celebrate good times and page rank drops woohoo! Congratulations to me, for whatever mysterious thing I did to deserve being treated this way by Google.
