OK I did say I was going to not let the stupidity of Googles PageRank system get to me any more but how can I ignore a client ringing up and demanding to know what is going on. Dear client I wish I could tell you.
I was complaining in my last post about Adam’s site slipping a point – but just get this.
My client has a website http://careers-partnership-uk.com which has changed from a PageRank of 3 down to 0 – Yes a big fat zero. This site is all about helping people develop their careers. It has been about for some time and has high Google position in the search directory for several keyword phrases.
But according to the latest Google positioning for importance it has changed from being reasonably important to not important at all. How can that be. Tell that to people who have been helped by the company behind this website.
I can only repeat to my client what I said in my last blog post. Don’t get uptight about it. Google is making itself look idiotic with its PageRank system and the sooner it is ignored by all and sundry the better.
I really would be grateful though if you are reading this if you would go along to this careers website and bookmark it in deli.cio.us or Stumbleupon. Careers Partnership UK are a genuine team striving to help people with their careers and they don’t deserve to have Google upset them.
I mentioned that I have a love – hate relationship with Google. I am sorry to say that the love is diminishing daily. Google get a bit fat zero for their PageRank system from me.

About Keith Watson
Hi - I am Keith Watson.
This blog is dedicated to Banger - a teacher from my teenage years who - at least once a week - insisted upon cracking the hilarious - and I have to say - never heard before line "What's on Watson?".
I would smile demurely - the rest of the class would fall about with sides aching - and life would go on for another week.
'Wats-on My Mind' I have decided will assist me personally as well as be of interest to others (I hope) who share my challenges. It will help keep me organised and document my activities so that I know what I did yesterday.
You think I am joking!!
I have been in the website development game since 1993 and have been involved with over 2000 website builds (with the help of my fantastic team of freelance programmers)
It was only in the last two years though that I have moved over to making money for myself on line and in particular linking up with an amazing talent called Adam Eason to produce and distribute self help and hypnotherapy products.
As a result of looking to promote these products I have downloaded hundreds of internet marketing articles and e-books, studied countless reports, tested list building tactics, butterflied, boot-camped, buzzed, adsensed, affiliated, met a jerk, jv'ed, plr given-awayed, and generally suffered from information overload.
My computer - presumably in a fit of pique or simply demanding a holiday has given up the ghost on at least two occassions - causing me even more stress.
Oh this simple business of making money online.
BUT the great news is that it is all working and our list has grown - I have found some gurus I have complete faith in - and Adam and I are actually making money from our endeavours.
Some way to go but I am more relaxed and can spot a phoney over hyped, sexed up, must have latest product which you must either buy or if not, simply fade into oblivion. There’s not room on this Internet for the two of us.
This ramble of an introduction is really to set the scene for I am sure an interesting journey which I invite you to join. In fact I want you to help me find the right tools, scripts, plugins etc. etc, that will catapult me into the stratosphere of success. I hope you will be there with me.
I don't just consider success in a monetary sense. I so want to help some friends of mine who are involved in Christian missionary work in some pretty harrowing parts of this world. If I can bring any help to their missions that will give me more satisfaction than anything else.
I really, really do love this web stuff and the people you meet. I am convinced that this powerful technology can be harnessed to do some good.
