Keep up posting daily for roughly the last six months is not a good business.

Ben, I got Google-slapped too man. Same thing: from a 3 to a 2. But who cares. It’s not stopping you from doing what you do is it?

I agree that the PageRank itself doesn’t really metter, it’s still fun + exciting a bit (my first ever )
What does the contest winner get?

have to agree that PR really doesn’t mean anything anymore.

Nice to see you back posting

Yeah, I agree…I’d rather wait for your “good post”.

Whoever wins that contest is going to be one happy camper.

Oh, and screw pagerank. We got your back!

Cheers, and good to know you’re “back in rare form”

Good. At least you got PR
BTW, what’s your puppy name?

Good to have you back, Ben. That is classy not to post when you don’t have anything to say.

So, now knowing you have something to say…let’s get into it!

I think community is a lot more important than crappy pagerank, and you seem to have a nice following on here so its all good!

sweet dude looking forward to read on how to avoid a slappage, I hit pr4 and don’t want to get slapped down in the next quarter. Though i have found the extra pr has increased SE traffic by about 10%.

Has the drop affected yours?

Hey there Ben, sorry to hear the news about the “slap”…I’m new to the whole “blogging” bit and am learning as I go (with everything) but I have to say that having a PR period is something to smile about, although I’d be pretty upset if I lost a rank…I think you’ll be back in no time flat cause you just have what it takes to get there

Ben,

Where are the pictures of the puppy, I was expecting wonderful puppyness and I am sad to say I have been let down.

Kudos for shotgun on PR update! Seems a little bit less frenzied out there this time round.

I’ve already had a good day, now all my new pages and sites have been bumped to 2 and 2 of my flagship sites I moved since last update are back on 3.

Winners are grinners!

I have had the same misfortune if you will as you, though my voice was not heard for a month.
I am sad though I could not participate in the contest, now I am pretty sure I will not be the winner.

Haha…

Sad to hear you got slapped, but it’s great that you’re sharing the knowledge with us so we can avoid it.

Cheers to your return!
