One of the funnier thread titles regarding current issues. It is happening all over, regarding all sorts of sites, you can tell me to get lost but the best advice i can suggest is not to worry about PR.
My site dropped from a 4 to a 2. But who cares. Maybe now websites will be judged on content, traffic & revenue and you dont need pagerank to achieve that!
But did your traffic decrease too? As long as I read in this forum, the majority says their traffic remained approx. the same.
Well if your lucky you would get a PR1 they actually rank better. don't ask me why I know this as I would have to kill you.
Why do you know this Billy? And my traffic is substantially higher than it was six months ago, or even two months ago.
I had a pr drop, and was selling links. At first I was upset, but then two more people from text-link-ads bought space so there you go. My SE traffic stayed the same, and in fact I now get more from MSN for no apparent reason.
I had 3 websites go down in PR and 2 that went up. The 2 that went up did not have any purchased/traded linking. I have noticed a hugh decrease of traffic with the sites that lost their PR.
two of my sites drop from PR5 to PR3 and they are doing better than 6 months ago. A lot of unique content and I never sell links. The funny thing is that another my site remains with PR3 for 9 months even I don't have any traffic or content on it. This was the strangest PR ever
