Hi I have two websites which were PR6 for almost one year. Now both are PR4. I used to sell some links and make money. Now since the PR has dropped, no one will pay a handsome amount for backlinks. My income has dropped almost 50% as my only two sources were Adsense and link sales. The type of sites I have affiliate marketing does not make much money. I make $3 to $4 from Amazon books. My question is , generally when PR drops do you just expect and come to terms that income is going to be around 50% of before. ? I still have good SERPS due to strong content and traffic and backlinks are increasing. Do you have any suggestions for increasing the income levels ? My sites are niche, one is related to drupal and another to software certification, I am not sure what affiliate programs will fetch me money as most of my traffic is not from USA. Please advise based on your experience....
Too many ads in sites might cause your PR to decrease. I read somewhere. ONe bog with two many ads and irritating pop ups. Got PR 0 from PR4
