VRE Toolbar Niche Marketing News

One of the latest additions to our List of Top 50 Article Directories is Article Pool article directory.

Our list of Top 50 Article Directories now marks those article directories which use nofollow tag in author’s resource box. These sites are marked with the NF! sign.

Anik Singal of Affiliate Classroom posted a video on it’s new AffSphere blog about finding profitable niches for article marketing with some information on their much awaited Niche Calculator.

They discuss why a good niche in PPC is not necessarily a good niche for article marketing (and vice versa).

After today’s video, you’ll never have to guess whether a niche is any good for article marketing.

The video is absolutely free and there is no registration to watch it.

Pain problem solving can become a new angle in your article marketing, or you could “re-package” your old articles with this new template.

Google PageRank update has made its way to the Google Toolbar.

“So what. Who cares?”, you may be saying, if you are not a SEO newbie.

I do care! VREToolbar.com was a PR0 and now it has received a PR5. Have I noticed a jump in search results? Certainly NOT (and I didn’t expect it, honestly). But what I did notice from the very first day we got a PR5, is that…

Googlebot has started visiting our website several times more often.

That means we can now have new pages indexed faster.

So, next time you see somebody’s claiming PageRank is meaningless, make sure you understand what they’re talking about:

• in most cases it has no effect on your search results positioning, but…
• it certainly may give you some other advantages which can indirectly help to increase your rankings, such as faster indexing.

BTW, we have updated PRs of article directories in our list of Top 50 Article Directories By Traffic, Pagerank too.
