It seems Goole started the Page Rank update again after just two months. This time I got kicked again to pr 0. It seems weird since one of my sites that has very little traffic and backlinks went from 0 to 1 and this blog, that has over 15k backlinks went to 0. I`m starting to wonder what the real reason for being kicked is. I admit I did two sponsored posts and set up a ad sale in the sidebar. But still, I don`t see any reason to be punished like this. If you do paid posts, sell links, sell add space etc. using a intermediate site that Google doesn`t like (like ppp probably), you can kiss away your Page Rank. It`s really not fair.
I know Google supports open source, but do they realize that by taking my Page Rank they took my only source of income? It was little income, but kept my web hosting costs to 0. So now I ask them, why would I continue? It wasn`t a big deal, but the two little open source scripts here were downloaded over 5000 times. What`s the point now? Don`t get me wrong, I couldn`t care less, but it seems that Google keeps getting meaner, and unwillingly (I hope) forces us to do different things.
How is a little blogger supposed to make any money under these conditions?
As a protest, I`m removing all external ads from my sites, including AdSense.

BPC is another one of my latest scripts. I made it using php.
It checks the PageRank of your backlinks. It can check 100, 200, 500 or 1000 links.
It can also check the PageRank and Alexa of the domains of the links, if the links are nofollow or not, the total number of outbound links found on the page linking to you, the anchor text of the link and the anchor type (text/image).
It`s easy to install, just copy all the files to your server.
Requirements: php5 and cUrl
Demo: Backlink PageRank Checker Tool
Price: $99 Buy

As I was browsing around I found a lot of articles about how Google chrome calls home.
They presented the information that follows:
For every installation Google Chrome receives a digital number (id), which communicates which the servers of Google. After installations, Google Chrome sends information about the version and the installed language to Google.
Google collects more data about the user of Chrome. Also Google Chrome sends every URL and search-keys to the servers. In the privacy policy it says that Google collects all information to make better search results for the Internet users.
If you don`t want that to happen, don`t use it.
You can deactivate this feature anyway if you want to. Under options/Under the Hood, uncheck “Help make Google Chrome better by automatically sending …”. After that you can be sure that you are not sharing any private information with Google.
False, if you deactivate this option Google Chrome will not send statistical data about the user.
But it will still send every URL you visit and if you watched the videos, you would know that Chrome is so fast because it uses Google`s cache to return parts of the websites you`re visiting. So it will still know what you`re searching for.
The future of search engines will be based on the user`s actions. So if you use chrome and allow all the statistical data to be sent, you will probably get the results you want on the first page, buy there goes your privacy.
People keep complaining about privacy and trash new products like Chrome, that are made to increase the quality of their Internet experience, but still use free email, free Instant Messaging clients etc. All those free things gather private information about you.
With the risk to sound paranoid, all the emails and instant messages you send go through a server and are cached for a while. Even your ISP and SMS service.
So stop complaining, unless you plan a terrorist attack 
or you`re a business man and you can afford custom services that don`t track everything you do, suck it up.
