What To Do About Google?

During my break this week from paid posting I thought a lot about what I was going to do about the Google Page Rank thing. So I read this article with interest:What To Do About Google

An excerpt with emphasis mine:

# Unless you’re listed on the first page for your keywords, why would it matter if you were spotted by Google and PR dropped? Money in your pocket is money in your pocket! Don’t give it back because you have less green in your toolbar! Just remove the toolbar and go with the flow, keep the ads, add more ads and continue writing great content on your site.

# If you remove ads or stop buying linkads, do you REALLY think you will be rewarded? Keeping what you have will only help validate that you’re not going to be bullied by Google and also make you appear as you know it is your website and not Google’s site!

# Do you realize that if you pull out and cancel linkads, that money will HAPPILY be diverted to others who would love to have the money?

So it seems pretty straight forward to me. I enjoyed doing the paid ads, they paid better than anything else except eBay, and I think they do provide a service to the readers because I try to choose ads that I think are interesting! So I think I’ll continue for a while anyway.
