			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="max-width: 800px; float: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Contact by PR" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2127/3535813133_b3e2f74b1d.jpg" alt="" width="266" height="177" />I just received a PR ( Public Relation ) invite yesterday which was send to my E-mail thru my <a href="http://techathand.net/link/">contact page</a>. I am a person who loves to dig first before I can give out my details being ask by any PR and here are my comments. I am trying to look for this info to find out the veracity of the PR Invite . So Here we are. .</p>
<p>1) I tried to find the name of the person who sent me an invite but sad to say that I did not found enough information about that person.<br />
2) I tried opening Linkedin , facebook and other Social media site and I cannot found trace of the PR Personnel.<br />
3) I check the domain of the email that was sent to me , and the domain have only a static page with graphic and no links at all.<br />
4) I check site:domain name and I only find 1 page in Google. So could a PR company have only 1 page crawled by Google ?<br />
5) I searched for the name in Google &#8220;name of PR&#8221; and found out that he/she is connected to other company. ( So they might be using only the name of the pr )<br />
6) They address me as &#8221; Hello Blogger &#8221; ( I remember that my name is not hidden in the blogosphere )<br />
7) They did not leave a contact numbers.</p>
<p><span id="more-3446"></span>Sound suspicious, anyway I am just giving you some tips and how to avoid communicating with other person. You should have to try Google first and they might tell you something about that e-mail address that has been used.</p>
<p>And to all PR, it is really better to build your brand in the internet most specially if you are inviting bloggers. Or you might hire a known blogger to be your PR. Branding in the internet is very important in order to gain trust. I am not saying that if all 7 items falls on the same category of any PR they are wrong, NO! but they should improve.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t believe that a big company would hire a PR which is not known. I knew that they have big budget in advertising, So why would they limit their budget with a PR agency.</p>
<p>Well this is just my observation that I think I should blog about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#160;</p>
<p>I am happy to report that my PR has been updated, it’s been a long time that my site has been penalized for PR, as well for some keywords like “ <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/search/free-psp-games-download/">Free PSP Games Download</a></b> “ and “ <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/search/free-psp-games-download/">Free PSP Games</a></b> “ which were ranking well in SERP for some time before it was penalized. </p>
<p>But now I am happy to report that I got back my PR4, and for sure I will not again violate Google so that I can enjoy a higher PR later on. I may not get back the SERP position for those mentioned keywords but at least I got my PR back.</p>
<p> <span id="more-2651"></span>
<p>I am not a PR fanatics but I am just happy to report what happen. I have heard a PR updates last week but this site was not included. Glad to see this morning that I got my PR4 Back. It was last year when my PR suddenly go down because of selling links and great that I block those links using robots.txt. Because I promised myself not to sell peyd links on this blog again.</p>
<p>After that I made an appeal to Google thru Google Webmaster and after few months now my PR came Back.</p>
<p>Some says that PR has nothing to do with SERP but I say, It is affecting SERP if your PR is more than 4 . If your PR is from 1 to 3 I think based on experience it will not make a difference not unless Google changes it’s algorithm.</p>
<p>But anyway this site is still ranking in some keywords even while having a low PR. So it is only Google can tell the real meaning of the Page Rank or Trust Rank. </p>
<p>So any experience about PR Changes lately and did you feel any changes in Traffic ? I just hope that my Traffic from the above mentioned Keywords will come back because it will surely bring in some passive income. </p>
