Someone is sending out E-Mails with this web address as the reply address.
If you have received one I apologise, there is nothing I can actually do about it, I have received in excess of 10000 failure notices myself and they are still coming.
Extract from an E-Mail I recieved. I recommend everyone signs it….!
Sarah Kennedy was talking about this proposed car tax scheme on Radio 2. Apparently there is only one month left to register your objection to the ‘Pay As You Go’ road tax.
The petition is on the 10 Downing St website but they didn’t tell anybody about it. Therefore at the time of Sarah’s comments only 250,000 people had signed it and 750,000 signatures are required for the government to at least take any notice. Link to site:
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax
Once you’ve given your details (you don’t have to give your full address, just house number and postcode will do), they will send you an email with a link in it. Once you click on that link, you’ll have signed the petition.
The government’s proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having to purchase a tracking device for your car and paying a monthly bill to use it. The tracking device will cost about £200 and in a recent study by the BBC, the lowest monthly bill was £28 for a rural florist and £194 for a delivery driver. A non working mother who used the car to take the kids to school paid £86 in one month.
On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody will know where you are at all times. They will also know how fast you have been going, so even if you accidentally creep over a speed limit in time you can probably expect a Notice of Intended Prosecution with your monthly bill.
If you are concerned about this Orwellian plan and want to stop the constant bashing of the car driver, please sign the petition on No 10’s new website (link below) and pass this on to as many people as possible. Sign up if you value your freedom and democratic rights -
It occured to me while reading a post on the WebTalkForums Forums message boards.
A user posted a question asking if Google gives more weight to related links with lower PR’s than non related links with higher PR’s. The obvious answer to this question is that the related link with the lower pagerank will overall provide more benefit to your website.
The next question that arised from this however was if links from bad sources e.g. spam directories and ffa sites damage your sites positions or pagerank in Google.
It interesting to note that a few people on this thread said that links from these sites damage your site. This is of course incorrect as if this where possible we would be able to destroy the rankings of top sites simply by link bombing them on ffa and other unrelated websites. My question as the title says is “Is Google Grooming Webmasters?”, this is a good question…
It has to be said that at no point has it been proved that ffa and spammy link directories damage your sites rankings. To me they actually are quite useful as they provide quick links into a new site to help it get spidered while you post around trying to find quality related links. Perhaps Google is just trying to “groom” webmasters so they do not get links from these types of websites.
As undesirable as they are ffa and spam sites do provide a good service. It is perhaps time that some of these questions where ironed out indefinatly. Perhaps Google will come along and tell us exactly how this part of the system works!!!
I think not…! For now however just feel happy in the knowledge that the odd link from a bad site is not going to do you any harm.
