Part of the Adventures In BlogRushing Series - Previous in series         Next in series

Well, it only took 2 months, four posts here at Philaahzophy, a couple of Blog Carnivals, BlogRush themselves syndicating one of the aforementioned posts, at least two emails from people “reporting” me, BlogRush’s crack team of hot shot in house reviewers, and those very posts being Dugg, and StumbledUpon repeatedly for BlogRush to finally realize I only had their widget on my site for less…

First there was the specific targeting of specific blogs and websites for reduction and/or penalties in both PageRank and rankings in Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs).

Wired magazine came out with a “How To Hack The Holidays” article last Friday and I’ve got to say I’m mighty impressed.
