A Google-Slapped Contest!

I may just have to jump on this bandwagon! I am going to link to several posts about the Google fiasco. But here is a great outlook on the situation.
Snoskred at Life in the Country in having a contest to celebrate her page rank drop. She also wrote Is Google The New Terrorist? Which is an excellent article. More Bad Press For Google. And Say Goodbye To Google Today.
I liked Wendy Piersall's post Mommybloggers seem to have been hit. And Worried about Google PR drop? Don’t be! from skeetsstuff.

My Google Drop… - Jennifer mentions another search alternative - Live Search - might be worth checking out.

Wow! This is quite a list.

I was slapped right out of their SE for one of my large content websites, several months ago. I also lost many of my high ranked pages for my other large site, several months ago.

That caused me to lose thousands of dollars per month. It was a huge mistake of mine relying on one source of traffic like that, though. It is always risky to reply on one source of traffic or income.

So thankfully I learned my lesson, have rebuilt my business in less than a year, and it's a more stable, stronger business. I now count google traffic as a bonus and I don't strive for it like I used to.
