Domains vs Free Blogs

Following on from my last post here Alexa Gaming, where I spoofed the holy grail of gaming your Alexa rank in order to draw advertisers to your blog, I'd like to draw attention to a post I made over at another blog as it is a poignant view on blogging.

Articles and Content Are the New Kings

Over at The Honest Way I'm still posting regular updates on the blog to keep the momentum going and to try to get Google to see what a great, content packed site it is, so they'll graciously give me some PR.

After all, the word on the street is that Google are still tweaking their algorithm in favour of good quality, content packed sites that offer lots of information and entertainment for their readers.
