Google page rank is always a great anticipation like getting a report card telling us how well we did, I always hated report cards, they suck.

All of my websites at one point did quite well until I bought hosting at Bluehost and since they all share the same IP I have found that they lost pr over the years. I also really haven’t tried for backlinks because I’m lazy and don’t like rejection. I was going to drop 3 of my domains, but I forgot I had it on auto renew and GoDaddy snatched it out of PayPal before I could let them lapse this year. They all had 3 and 4 pr’s before I moved them, I’m talking about regular websites not blogs.

I lost the PR on this blog during the last weekend of February and I noticed many others that I drop on had also and was very surprised. I’m surprised more people haven’t said any thing on their blogs or maybe they really haven’t noticed. Actually PR isn’t as important as many people think and I am so surprised that we even give Google the right to judge us for anything considering how they want to corner the market on paid links plus all of the up and coming online businesses, don’t they own everything now?

Why do we give other people and companies the right to make us feel bad or like we are freaking criminals because we don’t conform to the norm and try to make money in ways they may not like?  What right do other people have to put us down? Actually I was reading the forum last week and found out someone took issue with the blogs in “The Women’s Interests” category. I read what was said, but had to laugh because everyone rants about something and didn’t really take offence for myself since I am in that category.

Why did we ever give anyone the right to tell us what we are allowed to do with our websites and blogs and to judge us? Why in the world did we make Google so important? Of course we love using all those great free tools and programs that help us, but damn it why do we give them the right to run everything? Are we like little kids waiting for approval from the parent or God that knows everything? Well, yes we are and we wait with  anticipation to see what our judgement is going to be and hoping it will be a pat on the head.

My Google PR was 0 for both of my blogs for ages, then suddenly it increased to 2 and 3. Even so, what good does it do? I have a few ads, but they just make a few cents a day–no matter what the PR is! I wouldn’t worry about it. I don’t!

My Google PR for my main blog is actually a 3, my hero blog is a 4, but it’s a wordpress blog, so I can’t advertise on it anyway. Neither of my other blogs have a PR rank. I would like it to convert to $, but it hasn’t so far.

I’ve left an award for you at my blog…

My main blog lost PR too and I really don’t care. My other blog still has a PR 2 .

PR is only great if you’re writing reviews and stuff :)

Mine went down last week to a whole whopping PR1. What’s ironic is that when the Google Gods gave me the original PR2 back in January, I only had about 10 visitors a day because I accidentally deleted my title tags. This caused all my posts to get reindexed to my blog’s title. Of those 10 visitors, I’m pretty sure I counted as 5 of them. Since then, I’ve fixed my title tags. My posts are now showing up under their rightful names in search engines, and I’ve joined Entrecard. I now have a lot more than 10 visitors (not me this time). I have people regularly commenting on my blog. I have actual subscribers and followers, but I got Google smacked just the same.

On the bright side, at least it didn’t go back down to 0.

Well I’m glad you at least kept some pr, but the experts say what shows in the tool bar isn’t really an accurate reading anyhow.

A couple years ago I worked for Izea when it was PayPerPost. Made about $1600 in a year. Then, Google did their PR smackdown and PPP knew it was going to happen, so they weeded out all of us lowered PRankers by not offering us ads to write. Fooey on both of them. Google is highly overrated, and not only that, their search engine is not returning good results. So there! LOL

My three blogs had PR 4 early on, and eventually lost them one by one. There’s not much I can do, as the mighty G stripped them off.

I do write paid posts and my blogging income last year was really great. Now, I don’t even care about PR anymore, as paid posts are hard to come by.
