Thank you for your kind words

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

I woke up this morning and opened my browser.

I use Firefox - and have four home pages - one of which is the Press Release Monkey. The June 7th home page post stared me at the face and the enormity of having lost more than 1600 posts, all the hard work of my friends and associates to come here and add content - plus Bryan spent hours approving and helping you get them “postable.”

Man, it was a hard thing to swallow as I got the IV of Starbucks entered into my brain.

Getting a server wiped out - or having your computer go down and losing data is like your house burning down - or probaby a Katrina-like hurricane or tornado destruction. You go for days and don’t realize something is gone until you reach for it - and it’s then that you realize it’s gone!

But I popped into the dashboard to fix the Page Rank Explained page - and saw three comments - and suddenly my whole day turned brighter!

I want to especially thank Andrew for PERSONALLY encouraging me http://www.marketingsharks.com/- your kind words really made a difference to me! Thanks for the encouragement and reminding me to look forward and not backwards.

Send me your snail mail address and I’ll send you a copy of my motivational personal adventure novel The Safari Chronicles. Just send it to support@websitetrafficbrokers.com

Thanks,

PR7! = Page Rank returns to Press Release Monkey!

page rank pr7

Look who’s back? It’s our old familiar friend the PR7 visible page rank indicator!

We will soon be opening back up to your press releases with lots of new fancy stuff too.

Need to announce your new website?

Want more traffic to your URL?

Easy way to get good one way links?

You have found the place!

The latest and greatest way to get your press release out or publish an article with links back to your site is here!

Even though it is only 3 months old, Press Release Monkey has a bizarre story already.

2 weeks after launching we got a PR7 assigned to us by Google.

In the following month we had more than 1,500 articles, press releases and posts made to the site.

We also got hundreds of inbound links from wonderful people like you!

With a flood of traffic - and a happy shiny monkey image - we also began to see that the translation buttons on the site, (see the little flags up in the corner?) were benefitting us and the people who posted here, in an amazing way.

The search engines were crawling those links on the individual pages and indexing your post in multiple foreign languages. This means you got a 7X benefit from posting here - and traffic from all over the place!

If you would like to get this amazing WordPress template that has these foreign language translators (and much more) go to The Marketer’s WordPress Theme.

THEN TRAGEDY STRUCK

On June 1st, the server was hacked and destroyed - we had to do a full format of the server and lost every bit of data and all the posts to the site. During this time, the Google did it’s PR Update crawl and with the Monkey down - it changed the VISIBLE PR TOOLBAR to PR0.

NOTE: The VISIBLE PR toolbar is only a “window dressing” function of the Google search engine. They only change it about every 2-3 months - and it is know to be a weird rating, showing a number between 0-10 that actually represents a MUCH larger range.

For a full description of the PR function and what it means to your links and posts on this site go to Page Rank Explained - for here it’s enough to know that the search engine spiders and hammering this site - and if you post here you will get crawled and the benefit of Google’s INTERNAL page rank numbers - linking to your site.

INTRODUCING POSTS ON STEROIDS!

I have hired a programmer to add a functionality to this site that allows you to add a post with images, more text links, and formatting options to make it MUCH more valuable - for only $25. (Other web sites charge up to $300 for this benefit!)

Thank you for being a part of PressReleaseMonkey - freedom of speech, and Internet Marketing promotions, and making more money online!
