Once again Success For Your Blog is back to a PageRank 0. Not sure when this happened but I noticed it last night on my Google Toolbar. I searched around a bit and found a thread that this type of thing happened to a bunch of established middle of the road sites and blogs. One post indicated that this has happened just before an update to a bunch of sites. Now I don’t know if there is an update coming or what but its does concern me a little that I have dropped from 4 to 0.
I am certainly not doing any black hat stuff or even questionable SEO tricks. Basically just letting things handle themselves and growing organically. I was trying to come up with reasons other than the afore mentioned possible pagerank update coming. Here are some things I have come up with. Someone is stealing my content and thus creating copies of Success For Your blog and causing Google to ding me for duplicate content. Or it could be that I have the scratchback widget (which you can buy a link for only $2)
sitting in the sidebar and Google doesn’t want me to make a couple dollar to cover hosting costs. Or could it be that my ex-girlfriend works at Google and she is using my Blog as a Voodoo doll and trying to stick me where it hurts.
Bottom line I decided a while back that any traffic I receive from Google should be treated as a bonus and not a mark of my blogs livelihood. Sure I want to get my posts indexed in the search engines and of course I would like to get some good traffic from them but if they have hangups with how I run things well thats also fine. People that are looking for good info on how to create a successful blog are going to find their way here one way or another.
So let me poll everyone. Have you recently experienced a drop in PageRank on your blog for apparently no reason?

I sadly have no PageRank
Google finds me too insignificant. Or at least, that was the case the last time I checked! My fingers are crossed for you getting it back!
