Sometimes I just don’t understand Google. After spending a few weeks proudly on the front page of result for “make money blogging”, I’ve now been relegated to the fifth page of results. Even more confusing, one of my other blogs, that actually has nothing to do with blogging, now ranks in the top 20 for the phrase.

I got on the front page for that term quite easily by just linking to my make money blogging page multiple times on this blog, my other blogs and anywhere else I could put a link. That’s really all there is to SERPs, but some terms are more competitive than others. I also noticed that I rank highly for certain terms that I have only linked to from this blog. Right there that proves the importance of internally linking your pages.

However, the day we fully understand Google will be the day the world implodes. We just have to keep doing what we’re doing. One good thing that Google has done is give my blogs Page Rank that can now be seen in the Google toolbar. What this means is that the blogs I’ve been trying to sell have an extra selling point.

What I’m doing right now is comparing the best offer for each of my unwanted blogs with the most amount of money I can make in selling links on them. If I can make more money selling links then, what they hey, I might as well just do that and leave the blogs to collect dust. I can always sell the content later on.

Initially I planned to use those blogs for writing masses of paid reviews, but the time needed to perform such a task is pretty vast.
