A tidbit I stumbled across this week – have you seen the new Keyword Research Wordpress Plugin?

Looks like it could become an indispensible tool for the SEO-conscious blogger! (I’m not an affiliate, or in any way connected, just an enthusiastic fan)

Cheers, Jon

Marc Eilbeck, it’s your outbound links that you need to worry about. Linking into ‘bad neighbourhoods’ will affect your PR (casinos and the like…).

Perhaps it’s the penalties on all those ‘top’ directories that are expiring? A lot of the big directories like Aviva went from PR7 to PR0 earlier this year!

My site went from PR1 to PR3 last week so I have a renewed interested in PR.

I would love it if it means my PR5 site that was google-slapped goes back up to a PR5…

Anyone got any ideas on what the expiring penalties are? Nice of Matt to announce the PR update, should stop all that crazy speculation over at places like DP. Another addictive game posted, I’m not going to even look at this one, if I do I know I’ll end up spending hours playing it!

Toolbar updates are not followed the same way these days as it used to be. Its craze is almost over.

Actually, that was a lame comment by me. LOL. I am sure nobody but google could give an exact number of sites effected.

It would be interesting to see a site which had penalties removed and see what changes it made. That is what I meant to say.
