I started six month ago with Google Page Creator (GPC) to use it for a kind of personal log about projects and websites. I created a three page website in Dutch language to get some experience about the features and I think it’s an easy to use tool but with basic possibilities.

I got also a PageRank of 4 after the first PR update! The bad site is that I have almost ZERO visits because the pages are not high listed in Google. Next I thought, maybe it’s because of the dutch language, thats why I translated the page into the English language this weekend.

On th other site, I can’t remember that I found any GPC in the Google SERP’s within the last 6 month… Maybe because Google doesn’t spider/search their own Google (GPC) pages? The pages of my GPC site are listed in the search engine if I use the “site:” command, but I need a 4-5 words phrase to get my pages listed…

I hope the existents of GPC pages within the top50 of the SERP’s is possible, otherwise this tool is worthless in times of MySpace, Squidoo and other Web 2.0 communities.

No, I don’t think so, but finally there is a standard for website submission in our sight. The three biggest search engines will continue the development together of the sitemap format introduced by Google. Finally you need only one sitemap to include all your websites pages into these three search engines!

TLA Acquired By MediaWhiz!

Just again some companies merging their strength to beat the the big advertising companies?

I don’t think that people should compare Text Link Ads with other CPC or CPM advertising companies, these guys from TLA are doing a different business. While most of the internet ads have the primary target to create traffic, is the text ad a direct link, no nasty Javascript code just HTML, perfect for SEO and link building strategies.

Today the President of TLA Patrick Gavin introduced, a new service for bloggers and their advertisers: ReviewMe.com Read the rest of this entry »
