Weekend Reflections: Dealing with Feelings
Black and white Composition of Grills
This week has been a real roller coaster for me with feelings of euphoria and despair. I am happy to see that the boys are doing well in school and have achieve good results this term. I’m also glad that R managed to get time off his work to schedule in a trip to Korea to celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary.
All these positive and happy feelings nearly got wiped out when I got the result of the latest Google Page Ranking update. The blog has taken a hit and had lost it’s PR ranking. Just when things are picking up on the blog with more incoming campaigns and an increase in traffic such a heavy blow had to be dealt.
I was really shocked when I received the news and that dreaded e-mail in my inbox informing me about unnatural links on the site. I really have no idea what caused it and it really stressed me out trying to figure out which were the links that were causing the problem and if they were links from my side out or people linking it. I went about searching for information on the steps that I should be to rectify the problem on my end.
Through that episode I’ve learned that one must be vigilant about the ever changing rules set by Google and that it doesn’t help fretting over such things. I should and have to put more faith in GOD and believe that he will give me the strength to ride through any crisis that comes my way.
What has been on your mind this weekend?

@Rosemarie,

When was the google update? My pr remains the same. Still low, so not a big deal to me. I miss those blogging opportunities though. We always get problems that we can deal with. God will give us the strength to do.

That’s sad anyway. I am pursuing my best to hit even just a PR1 but it was not given to me yet. It’s also not a big deal to me anyway because I blog to share my thoughts and not really as a job. But having sponsors and/or having extra income is something to be thankful for.

The same thing happened with my professional blog, The Healthy Moms Magazine. It was due to the fact that I was selling too much “link juice” so I made some major changes and now my back links are all no follow. My page rank hasn’t gone back up yet, but from what I have read about Google and SEO once you make the changes to your site it might take Google a couple of months to recognize the changes. Good luck! Have a wonderful weekend.

@Cascia,
thanks from dropping by. I see that The Healthy Moms Magazine site of yours is back to a Pr 3.. I’m hoping for the best too 🙂

I hope you get your pr back soon. Just don’t worry about it too much because, on the other hand, you’ve had so much blessings that you can be thankful for.

Don’t worry about the PR you cannot controlthat. What’s important is that your famiily members still gives you the positive news you need.
