The day has come where Google has deemed me 33% less relevent then the day before.
My Pagerank was dropped today from 6/10 to 4/10 and I’ve got a tough desicion to make; drop the text link ads or suffer the consequences of having less traffic.
I’m not sure what the benefit would be to have more traffic, unless I was selling something. The benefit of TLA is the $300/month. So what else can Pagerank provide me?
Ad revenue? I’ve had adsense and Yahoo! ads and out of the 2+ years of plastering them in every area I’ve received one payment totaling $70. So you can see $300/month doesn’t compare to the $2.5/month from per click ad revenue.
Traffic? I can’t tell if my traffic will suffer dramatically, I’ll have to monitor it over a few weeks to compare. But really what benefit is traffic? To be a top search for Spiderman 3 so little south american kids can troll around. I’m number 2 for “Wordpress search” right now so let’s see what happens after the rank sets in, if it hasn’t already since I believe I was #1.
What else could there be?
