rankspank dose of reality

Hey there I'm Robert MacEwan the author of Ideal Absolutes. If you're new to macewan.org, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed.

Time and again I get asked how it’s possible for me to continuously add new domains and where dear child do I get the inspiration for these creations. I use Go Daddy Bulk Domain Registration as for the thought bulb… well, that’s a totally different story.

Let’s take http://www.rankspank.us for example. After watching Izea joking at RankSpank.com of Google yanking page ranks from posties something snapped. Don’t get me wrong I love PayPerPost, but bloggers earn their Google Page Rank and seeing it evaporate into thin air is far from funny. Joking about it is a tad insulting.

Now THAT is funny. Took about 15 minutes from start to finish after the domain was active. The folks that find this funny are the ones that earned Google PR through hard work. As for spam blogs, pft, who cares - right? Throw up another blog and in 30 days you can cash in on your business card wisdom or travel expertise.

Robert,

The intent of the video was not to make fun of the situation. It was intended as a different way to get information about PR, and RealRank.

We apologize if you feel that it insulting and making fun.

Hey, that’s a cool site. I like it! Maybe I’ll use that one from now on :)

I am glad that you posted about the video being insulting. TO me it had the whole “let them eat cake” vibe. PPP laughs while our page rank goes up in ashes and they have trivialized all the suffering that was caused when everyone lost their page rank.
It is true that I still blog about my dog and my bills but I am now getting alot less ops because most advertisers prefer page rank over real rank. Does anyone at PPP think that advertisers will be persuaded to use real rank by watching that video?
