An alternative to Google PageRank
One thing I have heard a lot, and I mean A LOT, about since I got into the whole «blog for money» business, is Google PageRank, or Google PR, or maybe GPR if you want to get really funky and down with the abbreviations. GPR (yeah, I’m down) basically ranks your website – the higher the rank, the more your site is worth, so to speak. The rank is based on how many other websites link to your site, among other things.
But what Google giveth, Google can – and will – also taketh away. Google frowns upon bloggers earning money by writing on the internet, and many bloggers who get paid by advertisers to write a little something about their company or product have recently lost their Google PR, and are now ranked a 0 (no ranking or banned by Google). This is popularly known as the Rank Spank.
Is all lost? Are sponsored blogs doomed to a life in the Google bog of eternal stench? No! IZEA to the rescue! Just when it looks dark and hopeless and countless bloggers are crying themselves to sleep, IZEA swoops in with their new rating system: IZEARanks – Real Ranks for Real Bloggers.
IZEARank ranks your blog according to actual website statistics. It doesn’t care who links to you, or how many (although obviously being linked to will in most cases increase your site traffic). All you need to do to get your site ranked is register and put a snippet of code in your website coding, to make the stats start rolling in. It will then display your current IZEARank, as well as a graph showing the changes in your site’s RealRank.
All this can be yours for a one-time fee of NOTHING! NADA! INGENTING! So what are you waiting for, blogger? Go join the revolution! Be free!
