PR!! Geeezzz..I lost it!! No, not Permanent Resident, but PageRank. Yea, the one from Google. Previously, I got a PR3, was happy about that! Few days ago, just checked my PR, it was still 3. Not until this morning, when I checked my PR again…this is what I have!
Holy crap!!~~~
WTH?! Okay, something wrong with my blog? Is it those $ponsored reviews? Or is it because of my Blogroll with the title of “Link Farm”? (I’ve changed it) Okay, I know what you are going to say. PR is simply just numbers and new unknown algorithm is always applied to it.
I don’t sell links so I don’t have to bother about my PR0. But, it’s so UGLY man…it was 3 before and now 0. And still remember what I said before? SO, here it comes.
After all, it’s hard to be a perfectionist. But hey, do you know my blog plays an important role in my life?
*sad*
Well, at least make sure that bucks is coming into my pocket… (like this I really don’t care lor…)
Feel like changing blog layout!!!!

@johnny,
Good for you as it increases. Nevermind about the blogspot one. Anyway, my blogspot still remain a PR3. If you can get $ why care so much about PR?
@jayhan,
wow..a PR4! Congrats! You know many average bloggers dying to get a PR4! Google might be reindexing their search engine. Maybe we should see some updates by some probloggers in a day or two.

January 16th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
If you’ve previously sell links and do paid post, most likely your PR are now penalized to zero. But that is not going to affect your organic traffic.
Just try to write more quality content and future, and stop text links and paid post.
To regain your PR, submit re-consideration via Webmaster tools, that’s after you’ve removed all text links and paid post.
Good luck.
January 16th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
erm… you write too much paid post ba~~~
January 16th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
my pr dropped to 0 too… wtf…
January 16th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
WALAO, my cherry-mix oso drop! This sucks man! ARGH!
January 16th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
@LeeChien,
it’s okay. Hope this thing won’t pissed me off too much. Or else a disaster will come.
@hongkiat,
Thanks for the tips.
@MerDuriaN,
I think the number of paid post I made is still average, not too much of spamming. Somemore, I’m really trying to relate to something close to my life. PR and money? sorry, money sounds more interesting..but WTH? If initially I got PR0, I don’t mind. PR3 to PR0? sounds like a joke.
@jimmychin,
I’ve checked several of your blogs, you still have PR3 what..
@Cherry,
what to do…as long as Google happy..
January 16th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
No PR=No $
Simple as that. My PR dropped from PR3 to 0 since a long long long time ago becoz of $ posts and my blog income drop more than 50% because no PR means less task to write, less task to write means less money. Google PR is still the God. To gain your PR back is do what HK said and this would mean u have to compensate the company tat give you the task. If you got USD100 from them for writing them all, you have to pay them back USD100. Nothing much can be done… We are punished until we clean up our act but it’s not possible.
January 16th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
@Irene,
but it’s impossible to pay back USD100 (let’s say I earn 100 from them). I rather won’t get any income in the future than paying back the money~ If there’s task just take, no task then no harm, I still have a job here, although every month just a little income which just enough for me to eat.

stupid PR
January 17th, 2008 at 11:42 am
The great thing is…you’ll never know what or if you did anything wrong! I had a PR6 and currently have over 28,000 incoming links…still, it was dropped to a PR0. All my hard work down the toilet.
January 17th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
@alysha,
It’s ok. Without PR, you still won’t lost your traffic ^^ Many people support you.
@Bobby,
Thanks for dropping by and I really dislike the idea of “you did nothing wrong, yet still get penalized”. PR6 is really good. I learned that you are a writer. Well, keep on writing those good poems, your hard work is not totally flushed down the toilet yet. All the best to you.
January 19th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
hi apple,sorry to hear about ur pr Drops. there is lots of people discussing about this problem.
Some people get their PR back and some people Lost their PR.
If paid posting the caused i guess google should treat them equally. means all bloggers who did PP should be penalized.
January 20th, 2008 at 9:01 am
@limadang.com,
Hi Ben, thanks for dropping by. I think you are cool as from what I learned from your blog, you have a PR3 with a 2-month-old blog.
Well, sometimes pp is not that bad, I mean it still bring some information. LOL. But Google hates it, we also can’t do anything.
January 21st, 2008 at 8:32 am
Oops… Some pain while some gain. I never checked my PR before until today. Guess what? My PR is 3.
January 21st, 2008 at 8:53 am
@daniel,
That’s good for you. Congrats. To maintain and increase your PR, all you gotta do is increase your blog traffic and NEVER do sponsored post, or text link exchange.
