Foreign Perspectives

One of the ongoing discussions since November in our little household is: “how come YOUR blog is OK and MINE isn’t?”.

Well, thankfully after over a month of hassling google, Cultured Views is once more back at PR2.

How did we get it back? Well, you’ve to register for google’s webmaster tools section, then claim the site and finally send a grovelling message to them saying that you’ve added “nofollow” tags to your sponsored posts and please can you have your pagerank back.

The snag is that adding “nofollow” just to sponsored posts doesn’t seem to be easily doable at the moment (ie there’s no plugin to do it) and therefore we’ve got nofollow on all outgoing links which seems somewhat counter-productive to google’s stated aim of identifying sponsored posts vs those that aren’t sponsored.
