It seems that Google updated their page rank twice this month or so and my blog's PR dropped from 4 to 2! The pagerank helps me sell advertising space at acceptable rates, but I'm worried of future advertising deals since they were made during the time my blog was PR4. On the other hand, I recently read online that page rank is not that important any more regarding advertising. I surely hope so!

Blogging is very popular lately while online gambling has always been popular. Quite a few gamblers write in their own gambling blogs nowadays judging by the emails I receive daily. A gambling blog may also provide additional income to its owner although it will take time until it becomes significant. There may be times though when a gambler turns to his blog for peace of mind and a less stressful occupation, which might actually make more money than his gambling activities.

Guest post by David: If you are new to the online gambling arena, free gambling online portals are the best places to explore.

My sports blog had around 200 to 250 visitors per day until mid-September. In two weeks' time that figure has increased and yesterday my gambling blog hit 1000+ visitors! Is such a big increase in blog traffic possible in just 14 days? Obviously yes but the reason was a post I published discussing the forthcoming Greek Election which attracted a lot of attention and nowadays it receives about half of my blog's traffic. In a way I predicted such a development due to other posts resulting in traffic spikes and in fact I added more content about the Greek Election which also received a lot of traffic. Those two posts get about 80% of my daily blog's traffic nowadays!

My new BMW X6 has already covered 3,000km but I had yet to take it for a photo shoot, like when I bought my Mercedes SLK in 2005. Today I decided to wash the car and take some photos of my BMW X6. Both exterior and interior photos were taken in the afternoon without direct sunlight on the car. I haven't forgotten the requests for a photo shoot of both cars side by side, but given the fact that the parking space is limited, I have to find a more suitable place.
