Apparently blog readers can get confused if your blog doesn’t look like it always does. This creates a conflict for me, I don’t really like anyone telling me what I should or shouldn’t do. If you don’t believe me take a look at my rant about Google Page Rank! [...] [...] Most of what I read says that you should pay for a custom theme, and then don’t change it.

Not accepting paid posts / links lets you keep your page rank. With the high PR, advertisers are knocking on your door, only to be turned away empty handed... but as soon as you turn to the dark side and accept these offers, Google drops the hammer. It's awful to have to sneak around behind G's back, when you'd rather be open and up front about everything... but such is the way of the internet in 08 I suppose. <em>Llama Money's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LlamaMoney/~3/245792236/' rel="nofollow">First Stock Purchases</a></em> On on of my older, previously successful but now retired blogs, I had the same problem.

I was slashed from 3 to 0 (not this time but on Jan). Some of the people advised me to delete my paid posts and put no-follow to the new paid posts, submit to google and no more paid posts. Until now, I have not done anything yet. After rank 0, I did not get as many paid posts from PPP as I used to be. My income was cut a whole lot. I have not blog one way or another (for/against) but I read a lot of bloggers emotions and comments. From my business experience, I think Google intend to wipe out all adv. business and I suspect they might come up with their own paid post companies. I wonder bloggers who have low page rank would get company who would be interested to adv. with them ? (of course famous blogger like John Chow already established himself in the blogosphere, how about the new ones ? , that is what I want to know). Thank you for visiting my blog and I enjoy your blogs.

We all want to make money on-line. I think Google made a mistake with this one. I have been PR0 since October 2007. But, happily I get some great traffic numbers. Page Rank - PR0 3 Month Alexa - 106,620 1 Week Alexa - 76,935 30 day Page Views - 40,707 Sites Linking in - Yahoo - 1,940 I wasn't sure how you were measuring sites linking in.
