the Spacewaster

I’ve done like most of the intarwebsters it seems, I’ve bought more domains. My thought is to niche out…

To let Spacewaster be what it orignially was ment to be - a technology blog. I like tech-stuff, everything–ranging from steam engines to silicone chips…

Thing is that I am all over the place at the moment, and with a slap in the face from Google for selling my soul to Mammon, I’m not quite sure on what I should do with this domain.

For you non-tech savvy people I can say that according to the Google EULA we’re not allowed to manipulate search results by selling links etc.

It’s because it messes with Google’s brain… a sites ranking on a result page is depending on something called Page Rank (PR for short), that is achieved by getting a lot of buzz, incoming links from other (preferably) big sites.

When you as a publisher sell links, like this one, auto insurance - I just made $5, but Google don’t like that - thus I got "RankSlapped" to a PR of 0 - the lowest.

So what to do?

I have it in my soul to not delete posted material, and sifting through all my posts and adding rel="nofollow" to all my paid links will take a lot of time, you can get "reinstated" by Google, if you remove all paid links and crawl up to them on your bare knees begging for forgiveness…

So I can change niche now, writing up another techie-blog that nobody will read since it’ll probably dissapear in the noise when I don’t have a PR and will loose most readers from there or I can wade through the posts making amends.
