I got 3 requests from the last 2 days about buying advertising space on this blog and 2 of them were via email and 1 was via yahoo messenger and i had to reject their offers because after this october page rank update<\/a> and page rank reupdate<\/a> iam totally against people trying to buy\/sell text link ads on their websites.<\/p>\n

\"Dont<\/p>\n

The reason for this is Google is not accepting webmasters selling text link ads to boost serps[search engine result page results] and buy\/sell text link for the sake of PR[page rank] gain. You can always advertise on this blog via adwords by selecting the CPM advertising section but iam no way interested in selling text link to other website owners\/ advertisers who are looking for PR juice from this website.<\/p>\n

This also includes a clear cut No to paid reviews on my blog , since iam seriously not interested in making money from the advertisers who are looking for backlinks from paid reviews, because many websites did these mistakes and finally got nuked by google in the last page rank update<\/p>\n

Here is a small list of the websites which got penalised in the october page rank update<\/a><\/p>\n
