When something bad happens to me, I think what I have done wrong. Have I offended anyone or do I deserve all the punishment? That is what my friend is also feeling right now.
My friend’s blog is now on PR0 and it ruined his day. Shallow? Well, he just received an e-mail from an advertiser and it said there that his blog is still for final review until it will be finally accepted. What will happen now? I am praying that they will still consider it.
OMG!
He is now rationalizing what went wrong. Too much paid posts? No more content? Headmits that he did not have the luxury of time to write more the past few days.
Well, my advise? Create more blogs, I guess and once it has a PR again, find out for it to stay that way.
Hi Anna! Creating more blogs is not really an option if your friend has not much time to even maintain one. The other blogs will likely end up having a PR0 as well. Just continue driving traffic to that blog. Ask for link exchanges. Make sure that the topics you write about are topics other bloggers would want to comment on. It will surely drive up your PR. And PR or no PR if your traffic is impressive, advertisers will flock to your blog. I experienced this firsthand
I’m sorry. I went through this too.
Google does so.
Many people have gone through this after Google punsihed them for blogging for PPP.
Your friend should just keep plugging along; Google can’t slap him forever if he builds good links and writes good content in between the paid posts.
Good, attractive Header Photo. Good content too. Keep up the good work, we all struggle with Google from time to time.
Sorry to hear that.. Looks like your blog also missing PR.
Google have awarded so many blog with PRs and removed PR. The penalties on my blog never removed until now. Maybe it is because of too much paid posts also.
I wish your friend to find a solution from google webmaster help to identify what is the problem and tackle it before next google page rank update.
I also know the feeling. My other blog dropped from a proud PR4 to PR0. I was sad because I was doing paid posts without attaching “nofollow” and that was my main means of income.
However, The Lady Programmer got a nice PR3 rank though.
