PR of 3 :(

Category: PersonalChrisM @ 1:35 am

It looks as though this blog has dropped from having a Google PageRank of 4 to just 3. This could well be due to the commercial posts I have been making, which have placed a lot more OBL (outbound links) on the front page, or perhaps Google are attempting to deliver on their threat/promise to punish bloggers who try and make a living from their site. I’d gladly be using AdSense right now, however Google saw fit to ban my account, so I had to turn to alternative methods.
Hey ho.

    I didn’t see any PR update recently, how could your blog’s PR drop ? What tool did you use to see that ?

    There have been some re-adjustments over the last 6 weeks on some sites. I have only just returned from my holidays, so I have no idea if an official Google PR update has actually occurred.

    I use the LivePR FireFox extension, as well as Softnik’s Good Keywords stat checker.

    See here for the FF extension, here for the Softnik’s Good Keywords and here for a Google DC check.
