I’m feeling the pains of the probloggers who previously rely much on the PR of their websites or blogs to generate high income. My blog’s pagerank was revised from promoted from PR0 >> PR3 and then demoted to PR2. Ouch..that really painful.

As a result, I loosing some opportunity to earn more money at PR3 than PR2. Well, many has blog about it. The recently PR update has been a shock to many of the bloggers. Google seems to have a new algorithm to penalized blogs or sites which sells links or write sponsored posts.

Anyway, like many of the problogger said, do be disheartened and just continue to churn out good content that keep your readers coming back. That’s the most important thing that bloggers should focus on. Other income opportunities will arise when the traffic is there. I totally agree with that.

Lets us move on.

How much has the recent PR update hurt your income? Share it with me by commenting.

It’s amazing how so many reality shows are popping up everywhere in the world. Making money aside, people wants to become a star. Naturally, human wants to be popular.

Well, one way to the stardom is to take part in singing competition like Idols. But there’s another way nowadays. That is to showcase your singing, composition and performance online. One particular site that allows you to do that is Unsigned.com. This unsigned artists and fans website creates the perfect harmony for singers, group and unsigned bands to be noticed and eventually become superstars. On the other hand, people like me who are bored with the superstars can look for alternative songs apart from the mainstream labels.

In the website, both artists and fans can create their own profile. Besides, you can create your own playlists, fans networks and many more. Meanwhile, artists can upload their songs based on any category such as rock, hip hop, rap and many more.

Myself, I like many of the independent bands that simply better than some of the bands out there with their own style of refreshing type of tunes.

Solo, trio, bands and fans listen up. Go check out that Unsigned.com to see what I meant.
