Google Woes
I wonder if anyone noticed, but my PageRank has dropped to 0 from 3. When I first noticed, I thought it was a bad dream. I just went to sleep thinking that when I will wake up it would be gone. But it persisted.
Well, I have cleaned up links to external sites which can be thought of as paid links by adding a “nofollow” tag to them and now I wait. Let’s see if my PR is restored, and if it is then I am probably going to stop adding paid posts to this blog.

Hi Vaibhav…… Google has started the 1st quarter page rank update. Again most of site’s PR has been dropped. Last 3 months before was same with big portals especially e-commerce, blogs and forums sites were penalized by Google. But don’t worry Page rank does not matter, traffic and rankings do.
