Other Stuff Man, those last 2 blog posts on the FTC stuff generated interest; comments and e-mail galore. But that’s over, been there, done that.
You’ve probably heard of Google’s PageRank; well duh!
In my opinion, it hasn’t been important for a long time — I’ve found it distracting at best but now it’s mostly so 2005 – but many people swear by it and make one of their main goals to get a high PageRank.
I lost faith in it when I kept seeing pages with low PageRank on the first page of Google.
I mean who cares what your PageRank is if you aren’t ranking high on the search results for your keywords.
For some reason though, PageRank continues to be associated with high rankings and I just didn’t see it but if people wanted to waste their time achieving it that just made it easier for me to get a high ranking (which I do care about).
Well, that’s all over with.

Other Stuff I didn’t plan on going into this anymore after my last blog post until there were new things to say but I continue to see a lot of hype that I think needs to be balanced out.
Personally, I don’t think there needs to be so much concern about this and here’s why.
I did some further research, I read other opinions, I read the FTC example scenarios, I read lawyers opinions and I don’t see why people are so freaked out about this.
Is it serious? Yes.
Is it something you need to be concerned about? Sure.
Is it an opportunity? Absolutely
Before I go further into why, I want to remind you that I’m not a lawyer and I don’t know anything about anything! You should check with yours to see how this impacts you, but here is my layman’s view…

Other Stuff A couple of months ago I wrote a couple of blogs post about the FTC investigations that could have implications on Internet Marketers; see You May Be at Risk, Don’t Let the FTC Shut You Down, Part 1 and You May Also Be at Risk for This, Don’t Let the FTC Shut You Down, Part 2.
I promised to follow up when there was more information.
On October 5, 2009, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) approved finals revisions to some guidelines that will have an impact on Internet, and other, marketers; guidelines that haven’t changed since 1980 – almost 30 years ago!
The changes can have a SERIOUS affect on marketers who use testimonials; at least those who use specific types of testimonials, a well as those who get/do reviews and endorsements; with hefty fines involved.
