Back to the old problem of time I’m afraid, only this time I’m not going to concern myself with the lack of it that I quite often find myself experiencing, but the ticking clock that is counting down the inevitable lifespan of this blog’s recently acquired page ranking.

I’m resigned to the fact that it is most likely a case of when, not if the proverbial rug gets pulled from under this Make Money blog’s feet.

Why do I say that?

Writing reviews for various sites is a legitimate way of earning a few bob for any blogger, but giving away a link in that review is seen as bad by the big brother of the internet – the big G. I’m not going into the argument here, it’s been aired to death everywhere already. Suffice it to say, it is cause enough for the privileges of rank to be denied to the very blogs that need them to make their few bob.

This is akin to cutting down a weed in your garden by the stem (the blogger), where the actual roots (the buyers of links) are left in the soil to regenerate into a new and even more rampant weed! Ha!

From the ashes the phoenix will most certainly rise to fly again!

So much for the advertisers, black hatters and anyone else who is still trying to game the system. Where does that leave the legitimate and hard working bloggers? As usual, its the little guys who suffer in the game of corporate chess. The pawns are always sacrificed so the major players can manoeuvre themselves into ever stronger corporate positions ready to pounce on their competitors and wipe them of the board.

Looks like I’m in the mood for parable and waxing lyrical today! Ho hum, that’s the bread and butter of the writer, I suppose.

So I await the falling axe with defiance and the fickle finger of fate will be heartily upturned in the direction of the executioner even as the head rolls lifeless to the ground.

The stuff of heroes and heroines methinks!
