So what happens when you have a page with “ten PageRank points” and ten outgoing links, and five of those links are nofollowed? Let’s leave aside the decay factor to focus on the core part of the question. Originally, the five links without nofollow would have flowed two points of PageRank each (in essence, the nofollowed links didn’t count toward the denominator when dividing PageRank by the outdegree of the page). More than a year ago, Google changed how the PageRank flows so that the five links without nofollow would flow one point of PageRank each.

Finally, after researching and trying to find some .ME coupons network solutions have published some new .ME coupon codes. I thought that other companies will do that like Godaddy. But this time Network Solutions won in this race! They also will win my future .ME domain names that will buy it right now. I will share this in case you are interested to buy some .ME domain names:

Recently there have been a few blog posts summarizing the steps that allow you to set up a series of filters that when properly deployed will provide you with ranking results displayed next to the referring keyword string like this:
keyword+keyword (Rank: 1)
keyword+keyword +keyword (Rank: 1)
keyword+keyword +keyword (Rank: 4)
Here are the steps that I have successfully used on one of my sites:

For the first time since Google is alive have seen something like this. All Google services are down. Would really like to see opinion about Adwords advertisers, Adsense publishers, and millions of users using their services.
Google in my life, hmmmm let me count the ways;
Gmail – no e-mail as we are running Gmail through Thunderbird
Adwords – Good chunk of our online paid advertising dead in the water
Analytics – All pages on lots of sites hanging up when loading
A/B testing through analytics on some sites, that wasn’t helping
Google hosted javascript library file – using that on a new interface we were testing out
Wow was that a wake up call on how overly dependent we have become on them. I guess nothings really for free.
You can read the whole discussion in Webmasterworld, theregister, PcMag and Google apologies.
Lesson Learned, Nothing is 100% Nor the big G. 
Don’t know if this has something to do but today was the worst day in traffic in Googlelady.

It seems that people still do not believe that Google have an algorithm to check the whois of your domain name:
I accidentally let one domain of mine expire and renewed it after it showed an “expired domain” message for a day or so. A few days later the site is gone from Google with no traffic at all from this SE. Even when searching for the url my website is nowhere to be found.
My question: has anyone experienced this and what did you do? I’m thinking of submitting a reinclusion request. Or should I wait to see what happens? How long to wait? This is a 7 year old domain with good backlinks.
Thanks..

You can check the whole discussion on webmasterworld, it’s recommended.
Unfortunately there are all kinds of devious server hacks making the rounds these days. They usually depend on two factors: sites that use a common CMS (such as Wordpress) and site owners who do not update their software to keep security solid.
But the average site owner may not have the resources or understanding to investigate thoroughly. All they know is that their Google traffic went away.
But if you can discover that you’ve been hacked, the fix is straightforward:
- fix the security problem
- restore a clean version of the site
- request reconsideration
Malware
One thing that hackers do is find sites to help distribute malware. This one should be easy to detect, because Google will post a warning notice in the SERPs “This site may harm your computer.” This discussion covers the details of how to handle a malware hack. Googlelady.com and many other sites of our company have been hacked long time ago and believe me we lost a lot of money during this time.
One common footprint for a malware hack is an iframe that doesn’t belong in your code – especially one with a lot of hex coding.

Before starting this topic, I would like you to share what is your opinion about Adsense from 2006 till now. Are your earnings lowered? Here is a discussion of a webmasterworld user opening this topic.
A civil discussion, not a debate. It’s fairly clear there was an AdSense boom time and then a periodof change that affected revenue, or at least it wasn’t so easy to turn a buck. Not everyone has experienced a decrease because not everybody is standing still. Nevertheless, I think even those who are making more now than then understand what I’m alluding to as far as how much easier it was to make a buck when the service was new as opposed to now. I am not saying AdSense is dead or not lucrative. I’m just pointing out that there has been a change/growth/whatever and am throwing out the question asking for some reasons why you think this might be so.
Please list your theory, speculation, or wild idea why you think AdSense earnings were higher before than now?
Here is one theory. As I recall, there were thousands of dollars worth of AdWords coupons flooding Internet conferences. Those AdSensers who have not attended conferences several years ago won’t know what I’m talking about so before you comment on this theory, hear me out. (Here is a recent example of an AdWords promotion that would inject Google money into the system, though probably not on the same scale as in the beginning).
Every conference I went to there were thousands of dollars worth of coupons available from denominations of $250 on down (as I recall). I think there may have been $500 coupons available, too. There were so many coupons floating around that some people were selling them, exchanging them between themselves, and opening multiple AdWords accounts to take advantage of them.
Could part of the higher payouts have to do with there being less publishers in the system? Is it possible that another contributing factor in those early days of higher ECPM was the flood of AdWords coupons?
