Website Woes

Strange things are happening to my rankings.

First my PR 5 dropped down to PR 3.

Then, my 120 links in (according to Alexa) dropped down to 37 in one day.

Meanwhile, the number of visitors to my site has gone up.

I'm so confused. Things normally slow down during the summer, but this is quite odd, too extreme. Something's fishy. Maybe there's a glitch somewhere. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I know. I know. I shouldn't judge myself, or my site, based on a third-party rating. I shouldn't even be paying attention to it. I made the site for myself, and my visitors tell me they like it. Plus I have more visitors than ever before. The ranking numbers and statistics mean nothing. And in the great scheme of life, a website isn't really the most important thing in the world.

Nevertheless, I'm sad.

Google has gone pretty snarky on what people have on their site when it comes to your PR rank.

it's been said that if you have alot of "pay per post" posts your rank will go down, so I guess sticking to who visits is better then PR's *shrugs*

oh and I really enjoyed reading your blog :)
