Competition: Create a Slogan for Bloggers Hit by the Page Rank Slam of October 07

Lets lighten the mood around here a little and have a little fun with this whole Page Rank Update – it’s time for a competition.

The winner gets a 3 month subscription to Brian’s new Teaching Sells program – worth $97. If you’ve already bought it then you get a refund.

The competition is simple – design a slogan for bloggers hit by the PageRank hit that Google dished out yesterday. Submissions will be received in the comments of this post for the next 24 hours.

  • Entries can be in any form you want – image, video or text (perhaps a little banner ad that bloggers can put on their blogs might work?). Get as creative as you like.
  • One entry per person.
  • Brian and I will select a winner tomorrow.

Here’s one I quickly whipped up – I’m sure a lot of you can do much better though!

Page-Rank-Competition

Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Update

The Sydney Morning Herald just published an article about the page rank shenanigans of the last 48 hours. You can read it at WWW spooked by Google algorithm tweak.

PS: it’s an old picture and not my computer – I didn’t trade in my MacBook Pro :-)

Update: I’ve closed comments on this as the 24 hour deadline is up. Thanks for everyone for entering! Now Brian and I need to sort through them all to find a winner – give us a day or two, there’s a lot here!

  1. “You can knock us down in rank, and STILL we’re making bank!”

  2. What’s up with this PageRank craze lately!? Who cares!? Everybody knows Google uses dozens (if not hundreds) of other techniques and algorithms to determine its search engine rankings. Please stop it! It’s not funny and honestly, lame. Write better content and don’t bullshit the system.

    ‘PR0 and $10k a moth – Sucks it Google’

  4. SHOULD BE:

    ‘PR0 and $10k a moth – Suck it Google’

  5. What, Me worry? More to life than page rank.

  6. To update or not to update, that is the question….

  7. When your blog monstrously overshadows any other blog out there, it’s only fair that Google give you a “Page Rank Handicap” … its just their way of leveling the playing field. :)
    (at least thats their way of seeing things)

    When you get “handicapped” by Google, you should think of it as a huge compliment and a challenge…only the best bloggers can continue to dominate the blogging scene, even with their Google Page Rank handicap.

  8. My PageRank fell and all I got was this lousy tag line.

  9. Google Handicap: 3

  10. Dipsy Doodle Google

  11. “Google took our rank, but they can’t take us down.”

    Sly from Slyvisions.com

  12. After they updated PageRank, I thought someone might be reading our YaGoogley.

    If you haven’t seen Zoolander, you probably won’t get it.

  13. Bummer, my image didn’t show up.
    But anyway, I can email it to ya, it says,
    Thank you Google! May I have another?

    I call it the Google spank…LOL

  14. if you have an image or vid – just leave us a link to it

  15. I am thinking the “no smoking” sign here!
    “No PR”!!!!!

    “I got blog-slapped by Google.”

  17. “I was DEFAMED By Google”

  18. ” Pagerank is like gambling,
    forget it , ignore it,
    and keep on rambling ” ;-)

  19. Poogled, Goggled, Gaggled

  20. Blame it on the lousy PR department.

  21. I put my page rank slogan as a post on my blog: http://www.winningtheweb.com/page-rank-slogan.php

    But if you just want a screen shot of it, go here:

  22. “PR? They’re Still Using That Thing?”

  23. Page Rankled

  24. I’ve been hit but I sure am bouncy.

  25. PageRank…

    Who Cares?

    We do it the old fashioned way.

    We earn it.

    ( and, of course all of the above would be centered)

  26. Blame it on the PR folks.

  27. “Google slapped me and all I got was a bigger pay check and more traffic. This rules!”

  28. Here’s mine :

    Downgraded by Google

  29. Got DeRanked?

  30. Here’s mine, click image for full size (if all works like it should that is)…

  31. I’m graphically challenged, so no pictures from me.

    Losing some pagerank ain’t no thing
    When you got a blog that’s got the bling!

  32. some of these have had me in stitches – nice work all. just 22 hours to go!

  33. PageRank: Google get Frugal

  34. You just got PRwwned!

  35. “if you have an image or vid – just leave us a link to it”

    Ok. Here’s the link to my entry/pic

  36. Google can dish out a lickin’, but our sites will keep on tickin’

  37. “B#@%h Slapped by Google”

  38. “We got knocked down,
    but we’ll get up again,
    PageRank won’t keep us down.”

  39. “On a scale from 1 to Stupid my PageRank is a 10”

  40. “Pranked”

  41. Deranked By Google.
