It’s been awhile since I’ve done Cass’s Self Portrait Sunday. I’ve got a pretty cool picture of me I want to share today.
HA! This is my RockBand character Jules. She’s pretty famous. Really.

IZEARanks is up and ready to roll! It’s a new way to measure your blog traffic and the influence of individual blogs throughout the blogosphere. You can even compare your blog with another blogger that you admire, and see where you stand against them. All you need to do is sign up for an account, then claim your blog by adding in the code to the footer/header of your blog. Your real time blog stats will be available immediately for you to view.
It’s pretty cool to see all those stats, so go add your blog to IZEARanks and see where you rank in the blogosphere. Currently I am ranked at 313. What are you ranked at?

The king of Black Hat SEO, Matt Marlon has been arrested, but not on scamming SERP’s from clients. He’s moved on from his shady SEO business to scamming people out of their mortgages and ruining their credit. Matt Marlon arrested!!!!!!!
He’s been charged with 32 felony counts, and investigators are looking for more victims. You may have been a victim of his mortgage scam, or you may be a victim of his SEO scam. If so, please call the Secretary of State’s Securities Division at 486-2440.
I’ve contacted Danny Sullivan, who’s editor Kevin Heisler posted about Matt Marlon the CEO of Traffic Power, (see comments - Danny isn’t with SEW anymore like I thought he was - his post is here) and also Aaron Wall posted about the Traffic Power CEO. I can only hope they dig up this story from their archives and call this thieving bastard out for what he is.

So how is your day going so far? Many of us realized last night that our Google Page Rank was smacked down to a big fat ZERO, including JuliesJournal.com. We’re all scratching our heads wondering what is going on.
I’ve heard theories that it’s Google’s way of penalizing people who monetize their blogs. Or it’s certain companies banners on your sidebar. I really don’t believe this at all. Many blogs are showing PR0 this morning that never do sponsored post, or paid advertising. In fact, my companies website which was a PR4 yesterday, is showing a PR0 today.
I’m just a sitting duck waiting for my boss to come in freaking out and asking what is going on with our Page Rank. I wish I had an answer for him, but I don’t.
How did your blog weather the storm? Did anyone actually keep their Page Rank? Any theories on what is happening?
Digg this.
