My main niche is not really myspace layouts - this is sort of a 'sub-niche'? which only came about after I realised that a lot of myspace users were using my backgrounds (I didnt even know what myspace was when I first saw it in my logs), but I'll take any free traffic I can...(even if the CPM is fairly poor).
But I take your point. I am not sure I would pay circa 30 GBP per month for links from ni-photos.jmcwd.com
Re link on my own web site - I knew what you were saying but was trying (and failing dismally) to be funny. :-)
I have been meaning to get round to looking at adbrite also (Cormac was recommending it in another thread).....
Thanks.

Here is a (very) long discussion from Matt Cutts:-
Matt Cutts: Gadgets, Google, and SEO » Text links and PageRank
I summary it seems to be saying that your page rank will NOT suffer - but the ability of your web site to transfer page rank to other web sites you link to probably will be affected...
Does this really matter?

Just looking at Alexa - how much weight do you think testlinkads place on your Alexa ranking? I seem to have gone up a couple of hundred thousand places lately... How often do they reassess what your site is worth? (I don't know why I am bothering to type this as I have still not got any links sold....) :-(
NB - congrats due on the phenomonal Alexa ranking of these forums...

I hope a good bit more as many of my sites have gone up.
The next Google toolbar PR export is also in progress right now so that's good news for earnings too(Considering what I am seeing on some DCs)

any ideas as to what min. PR and alexa ranking they use as the threshold ?
Dave Davis
No, I don't think anyone does. I have had a PR2 site with no Alexa rank accepted and a friend of mine in a different niche had a PR3 with a 100k Alexa ranking and was denied.Originally Posted by paul
I'd say it depends on their current inventory actually.
Seriously though, a site with a PR of less than 6, and Alexa ranking of 80k or worse is not really worth the effort.

according to Donncha PR 8 is worth $275. I guess they decrease fairly quickly for 7/6/5 sites.

Yea, but he only gets 50% of that.

Good God, I hope this is a false alarm... currently I have a 50:50 split between PR4 and PR1. Not that it matters too much but would still be a kick in the teeth after getting a tonne of decent links... *sigh*I hope a good bit more as many of my sites have gone up.

It's weird. I've been monitoring it all morning. Seems like its only sites without a previous PR or something. I really haven't figured it out.
For example, before I bought Search Engine Marketing Ireland - RedFly Marketing it was a PR2 (TB) then it dropped to PR 0 (TB). Now, we know that the DCs have been showing a split between the last two updates. One of those is almost a year old.
Today, www.redflymarketing is showing PR0 on some, PR 2 (oldest) on others and on about 12 I am aware of now (4 this morning) it's showing a PR7.
The funny thing is that NO DCs are showing ANY change for irishwebmasterforum.com
Pretty good if I do say so myself
Seems blogging about SEO doesn't really have that .... impact unless you have the stupid green TB PR to back it up.
Maybe there should be a separate thread for this.
