I woke up this morning to find I am down 200 subscribers and have lost 2 points of pagerank. I’m not really bummed about the page rank, but I wonder what happened to make me lose 200 subs in a few days?
I think I have cooties. 🙁 Maybe I should do my own Problogger contest to drive traffic…
I did have some great fun meeting such cool people and I can’t wait to give my talk this afternoon on Utilizing Social Media to Drive Traffic To Your Blog. They’re taping it so if it doesn’t suck, I’ll post a link.
Me too Robyn,
I’m down two in Page Rank and almost 200 RSS subscribers — and I miss every one 🙂
Maybe you’re running into Google Reader people going missing?
Jennifer,
I think you were right. Ted and I are obviously crazy LOL
Funniest part was that my hubby called me in Vegas after midnight to tell me.
Same here, only I wasn’t selling. I just had a link to “Sponsor a Post” where I gave guest bloggers the opportunity to guest post for free (with editorial moderation, of course).
I suspect Google saw that and dropped my PR from 4 to 3, not that it really matters.
🙁
Backlink based PageRank no longer makes technical sense these days because the Internet has become so commercialized. People are just buying links left, right and centre.
