Whew. I need to take a veeeery deeeep breeaaaaaaath. (Liane, inhale, exhale). Okay, it has happened to me now. Getting kicked from my good page rank 2 down back into nothingness instantly spurred me into hysteria. The first thing that popped into my mind, "Google, what had I down wrong!?!


Page Rank blues! This is freaking me out.

I've witnessed it happen to a lot of friends, this time, I get to experience it first hand. I was on a 5-minute denial stage moments ago. This is not happening, this is not happening, this is not happening. But hey, slap me dear reality, IT IS HAPPENING.

Now What to Do?

I think as of now I handled it very well. A lot of those got into real tantrums when they had their experience, and no one can blame them. Anyway, getting into a huge tantrum won't help so I think its better to go back to blogging work

Did you get first hand experience to being spanked by google Page Rank too?

What did you do? I hope those who recovered from this would share their secrets, I'm currently googling for them so I hope I can learn a few guidelines in getting my PR back.

But I'm not starting back to Square 1

Well, I checked my traffic stats and saw that Google' still sending me traffic love through the search engines. Not bad for now. Anyway, of course a good PR should be a priority especially on monetizing but it only affects for the review (which really is in dangerous waters for PR). I'm focusing right now on Chitika, Amazon and Adsense so I don't see how getting a PR 0 again would injure my income streams.

I'm positive about this, I can regain my PR back (or even better). Guess I should go back to more blogging work. Thanks for those who've extended their uplifting messages. It meant a whole lot.

And They Said it's a PR4, Now it's a... sniff...sniff...

I used a reliable SEO tool weeks ago to calculate my future page rank on the next update and it showed a PR 4, that's why I'm so shocked on first witnessing my blog drop to PR 0. Turns out it wasn't that reliable after all :(

All I can do is keep improving and cross my fingers that Google notices.
