All my sites are at 0. The funny thing Is that I only do paid posts on Vegan Momma and that is on occasion. I think there is something else going on mainly because of the fact that people who have never mentioned Pay Per Post are also at a PR of 0. However if they are purposely penalizing people for whatever reason I think they have gone too far this time. Personally I'll do the same thing as I did last time which is nothing. I'm not dependent on Google PR to monetize some of my websites.

We should start a movement or a petition asking Google something: They should have to tell you exactly why any drops occur and EXACTLY what to do to avoid it. Nobody knows for sure why and that should be illegal. PR is unimportant to us because were not depending on natural searches to be found. Is being found through natural searches the most important way to be found or make an impact? NO WAY. Google wants it to be, that's why PR exists. Technorati is a much better engine to find blog articles than Google anyway. There are many more better and well organized blog listings than Google. PR really only matters if you are making a lot of money. That money doesn't come from natural traffic anyway. I know for a fact that TechCrunch and ProBlogger get WAY more traffic from MyBlogLog than from Page rank. I think most bloggers find most sites through referrals and word of mouth. I am proud of my PR0...I operate exclusively on google free searches and for bloggers, that's something to be proud of :smile: <em>Bobby Revell's last blog post..</em><a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Revellian/~3/186780117/'>Blogger Buddies Are Awesome</a> My WGM blog which only has 26 posts and has paid links is still a PR4 but Revellian which has NO paid links at all, like yours dropped twice, on Nov 8 & 10th.

We should start a movement or a petition asking Google something:

They should have to tell you exactly why any drops occur and EXACTLY what to do to avoid it. Nobody knows for sure why and that should be illegal.

PR is unimportant to us because were not depending on natural searches to be found. Is being found through natural searches the most important way to be found or make an impact? NO WAY. Google wants it to be, that’s why PR exists.

Technorati is a much better engine to find blog articles than Google anyway. There are many more better and well organized blog listings than Google.

PR really only matters if you are making a lot of money. That money doesn’t come from natural traffic anyway.

I know for a fact that TechCrunch and ProBlogger get WAY more traffic from MyBlogLog than from Page rank. I think most bloggers find most sites through referrals and word of mouth.

PR will just affect how much you can earn beacuse people mainly look at PR but the stats are still the same if not increased even with a PR 0. So really we have not lost any readers. <em>blueyes's last blog post..</em><a href='http://hterry.com/stocking-stuffer-ideas'>Stocking Stuffer Ideas</a> See what kills me is that all these people have zeroes including me but yet they are not looking at their stats.
