Say No To Pagerank, Yes to Life

Hi Dean,

Worldpeace please… small typo, guess killing people’s getting the better of my literacy skills

great article; it’s very true. Why talk about PR all day instead of working towards improving it…hit the nail on the head. I’m currently trying to SEO my site. Could you plz email me for any tips…so far I’m just submitting to as many pr2+ directories as possible.

Streetlessons links are working now.

Many thanks,

Dean

Dave,

I have removed the iphone link from the list until they show me that it is linked from a main page or category page.

thanks,

Dean

If all these pages link together and to every other site which signs up, wouldn’t this end up adding your links on unrelated websites and web pages, with links to several other unrelated websites, which can lead to a penalty for these sites by Google maybe. Am a little confused here.

SEO Reloaded - Google specifically says that you cannot harm ranking via inbound links.

Also, the vast majority of these links are somehow webmaster related, whether it be PHP, SEO, Marketing or blogging.

The pros far out way any cons here.

Hey Deano - We are not showing up in your list. I feel so abandoned :(.

Just updated my post to add the new entries!

Just a reminder to everyone to update their lists. I WILL be checking.

Nice link swapping huh, definitely a go along for the next Google update after this.

There is one teeny tiny set back here: each webmaster has to return to this webpage to copy off the updated list therefore time is of great concern here Mr Dean.

For Argument sake, if 10 - 20 webmasters join up each day for the next six months, how often should I refresh the list on my blog?

Once a day, once a week or once a month?

And by the way is there a do follow tag for PR juice to participating webmasters?

Is it O.K for participating webmasters to add the no follow tag to their anchor link?

And the $64,000.00 take all the money home question:
Mr Hunt are you totally, honestly, true integrity sure that this is not a clever linkbaiting strategy devolved by a few over devoted seo webmasters?

Anyway,I Will ad the list this instant over at http://search4article.com/review/say-no-to-pagerank

Hope this list thingy catch on like a wild firestorm.

Dean, you have a fantastic idea going here and I am glad that I could take part! Best of luck

Mary,

That is great news. Glad I could help.

Here is to reaching Technorati 100

Ezinet - Congrats on posting what could be the greatest blog comment I have ever read!

Ok, I will attempt to answer your points…

“I would love the text between my anchor tags to as “Ezinet Global Marketing” instead of Search4Article.com”

Your wish is my command. Done!

Ref your technorati and other successes. Congrats. Glad I could help. I am sure everyone who doesn’t get involved in this thing will regret it.

“Dean Hunt for GOD GENIUS ELECT anyone?”

Very kind of you… I would settle for president.

Ref the updating of the lists… listen, in a few weeks this thing will start to cool off. So updating for months is not going to be required. However, I am monitoring it at the moment and will be contacting people to make sure they update.

Ref Stumbleupon… great idea. But someone beat you to it: http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/deanhunt.com/say-no-to-pagerank-yes-to-life/

I agree though, it could really help. So everyone please follow the link and add your stumble.

Thanks for the comment.

Dean

PS: what is your real name?

Dean,

Great viral marketing idea! Added list yesterday. Please add my fundraising ideas blog next cycle.

Just tested the time it took to open two windows, highlight, copy and paste the list and came out tops at 1min:45sec! while watching my favorite soap CSI Miami, not missing a moment of intrigue.

C’mon get the refreshed list on your site and let’s see if we can surpass all human limitations and have this buzzing for 6 months at least, heck! people here might end up breaking all sorts of top 1000 records with a 2 - 5 minute a day approach.

add me on this blog chain!!

So you are not a big fan of Page Rank… Then why bother with all the links… This seems like a crazy form of “link bait” to me. How will Google react if your website goes from a few links per day or week to hundreds or thousands of links overnight? Could you not be endangering all who sign up?

As for me… I go for 5 links a day every three to four days… Slow and steady just like Google outlined in its patent application…

add me please, here is the link to what i posted

http://thekingkongblog.com/2007/07/19/start-up-blogging-for-monkeys-pt-2/

Mary - no problem, I will edit it now.

Mahdi - Will add you v.soon

geeurbie - I never said I was against Pagerank, you should re-read… I said I was against people who talk about pagerank all day without doing anything pro-active about it.

Currently we are averaging about 5-6 new links per day, so it fits your criteria perfectly.

Dean and geerubie - I quote here what I wrote on my blog about this “Now, this is interesting. It’s a movement couched in an anti-movement that basically achieves the same effect.”

Thanks Dean. Always ingenious. Always fun.

Hey Dean, This list is becoming a potent force to reckon with as there has been a way of so called “link trains” now fluttering across the lenght and breadth of cyberworld.

Every blog and forum master suddenly has a lightening jolt of realisation that this kind of technique can do wonders for the status of your blog (right my blog is about to crack the technorati top 100,000) and therefore most blog forums are waking up just in time to catch the train and riding the wheels to success and recognition.

There is one drawback though and we’ll all be around long enough to get a first hand view of what’s gonna happen next as there are always haters in the playing field.

This sounds like a plan to me. Brilliant! I hope it starts a pager rank revolution. Just a quick and simple way to get busy while building cyber-community.

Hi Dean,

I have posted the list on my site.
Please add me on the list.

Pagerank is bullshit, it sucks.. it is a nonsense idea being propagated by google, jst to keep the webmasters taking about them all the time. This nonsense has to stop. Let us start by removing the google toolbar from our browsers first.

I hav removed my google toolbar. I check the value of a site/page using the link and linkdomain command in yahoo.

link:http://www.sitename.com -sitename.com

That tells you the whole story. Why rely on a stupid system like pagerank to decide the importance level of a page. A system that takes more than three long months to even update itself. A system that is flawed and outdated.

PR is nonsense, don’t use PR to decide how good a site it. Remove your Google Toolbar or disable PR in the GTB today!

lol. Pretend you say no to PR and right before a PR update you’re going on a linking campaign? Yeah right.
The most amusing thing is, some clueless people actually buy this:)

Great idea! Count me in (email in your Inbox)…

It would be nice if you had target=”_blank” in the links list, though.

This is definately working I made it to number one on Technorati yesterday, here’s the proof

http://www.gadgettastic.com/2007/08/04/gadgettastic-ranked-number-1-on-technorati/

Seriously though this has been a great idea and I am glad I joined in.

You can definitely add me to the bandwagon here on flipping Google’s PR the middle finger. You might even enjoy the following post:

OK, good. I’m glad we can be interested in what the pagerank shows and still participate. I noticed the topic come up in a forum and was like, “???” Shouldn’t you worry more about content than whining about PR?

I was starting to wonder with all your commenters claiming hypocrisy…I went back and reread the post to see if I could figure out where you said you were against page rank. And couldn’t. So I was heartened to see your explanation/confirmation that I can indeed read.

Question, though…should I choose to participate and begin updating this list continually, won’t it keep popping up in my feed, annoying the bejeegers out of my subscribers?

wanna join but need this page rank

Dean,

I had no idea that there was a new PR system on the way thanks for the explaining.

Good stuff.

Please add me to this game. I have sent you an email.

Thanks!

I wish it wasn’t but Search Engine Optomization (SEO),
is a part of a webmasters life. SEO is the daily battle
to keep ahead of the search engines, especially Google.
It is very much like a Salmon swimming upstream. Every 3
months Google changes everything in the way they do
things as far a their search results go (SERP). That only
means I have to throw out the window at least 1/3 of the
things I was doing to get their attention. One thing that
always works is back links from other web sites. Up at
the top of the comment section here there is a place for
your Name and Your Website. That is there in case people
would like to go to see what you are all about. On any
other web site that link would also count as a backlink if
Google ever came over here and spotted it. Google insists
that blogs have a word called “NOFOLLOW” in their code so
it knows not to count that address as a back link. So I
looked around and found a little piece of software that
defeats the NOFOLLOW code under the Name. It is a Word
Press Plug In that you install in your wp-content/plugin
directory and just activate in your plug in admin site.
Easy and fast. To get this for yourself just go to the web
site under my name and look for the nofollow button and
download and unzip the code. Don’t forget that if a person
gets a link he is more liable to come back and make more
comments. The more comments you get the more people Google
will send. Have fun. Bob

Is this list still alive?

I added it to my blog here:

http://www.mysteryautoincome.com/get-thousands-of-backlinks-improve-your-ranking/

Dean, please update with my blog’s info:

Mystery Online Autoincome Turbo Cash Money Making Systems

page rank is only 1 of over 100 factors that determine your ranking folks. In my niche, make money online for instance the number one position is only pr4. Someone else who has more links, more keywords targeted and pr6 is on the 6th page of google for same keyword phrase.

I had no idea that there was a new PR system on the way thanks for the explaining.

Good stuff.
Thanks.
