Google Does it Again!

Google has bent me over and fucked me up once again!
My Page Rank has now gone. Gone all together. It is now 0. Yup it went from 5 all the way down to 0.
You know what I don’t care. PR is going to mean nothing in the coming months when Google has their precious site ranking service challenged with a much better service in my opinion called RealRank. Finally, something that going to be a lot more accurate when it comes to actual page rank and tells the truth on actual link ins and traffic.
There are others like Andy Beard that have similar issues with the whole thing. There are a huge amount of bloggers that have been struck with this whole PR thing, but Andy Beard has some interesting reads on the topic that you might want to check out.
On that note, I am still confused on the traffic reports Analytics is reporting.
Ever since the PR ass kicking, my traffic reports have changed dramatically, as seen in the chart below.
Notice on the 25th the traffic drops a huge amount. We’re talking from approximately 600 per day down to the mid hundreds or below a day.
Has anybody else noticed a drop in traffic since the PR ass kinging spree Google went on?

I alway thought Google kind of sucked even before my PR dropped. I started out at a 5 in April before that I did not even know about PR.
I’m not dependent on Google for all my traffic or monetizing my websites so I’ll continue not to pay attention to them.
The majority of my money is made via affiliate marketing. I make more with them than Adsense and Pay Per Post combined.
All of my websites went down to a 0. I only write the occasional paid post on two of them. The others I don’t but I do have affiliate links up there. Last week I made over $100 in a few hours with one of my affiliates. The most I’ve made is over 1k. Nope I could care less about my PR ranking.
My traffic has increased not decreased.

[...] Whoever says that the PR raping wont effect your page rank, then you might want to read my other post on how my traffic dropped the day I got raped by Google. Coincidence? I think [...]
