I was bummed to lose my PR like everyone else, but there are so many things that are so much more important. And I agree that things will soon get better. Bravo, Skeet — well said!

I've always had various outlets for writing, but it's only since I started blogging that I've had other people acutally reading what I write. Besides the sheer joy of opening up and sharing my mind, I think it's also helped to make me a better writer, because I care about how people react to what I write so I work harder at it. And you're right - we'll all get along just fine without Google. :D Aw, mahalo Chelle!

You write well and clearly. I'm working to improve my writing, but I don't consider myself a bad writer either. Personally, I enjoy blogging for myself. I like reading people who enjoy blogging for themselves. It's a way to share yourself with the world. Google doesn't care or know that I exist and that's ok with me, too.

The downturn around the holidays is a natural event. Things should continue to pick up now, and once RealRank is more widely accepted I think we'll see an increase in available opps. Patience is the toughest virtue to grab ahold of, though, isn't it? :D Lynn, I think we’ll be fine, too. The downturn around the holidays is a natural event.

The holidays, when we all would like to have a little extra to spend. Unfortuanately, that's also when when ops tend to be more limited. Many people have linked the two things together. While I think a small percentage of the reduction in ops may have come for the PR smack, December is a slow time for advertisers anyway. January has been a huge improvement all ready. Yes, I too was smacked to a zero, but I look to build readership, not PR. I think PPP is a good company who treats their posties well. We will all come through this shining, except for perhaps Google, who may be in for the fight of their life. I think the Googlesmack happened at a tough time of year for everyone too.

I'm convinced we'll have a lot more available once the advertisers have a better understanding of RealRank. I like the extra money I can make through sponsored posts, but let's face it - it's not going to be a major source of income for most of us. If you're counting on online income to pay the bills you need to diversify, kwim? It’s been difficult to see available opps dry up, Misty Dawn.

It's a Google ranking and it's Google who changed the way it's computed. Follow the link in my post to learn more about Social Spark. There are other posts on the PPP blog that address different aspects of the changes that are coming.

I'll admit I was really excited when Google first ranked me with a PR4 - there's a "party post" in my archives celebrating that day. I was still a fairly new blogger then. Somewhere along the line, though, the blog itself became much more important to me than stats and the money generated by sponsored posts. You and I probably won't get rich blogging, but I'll bet we're a lot more satisfied with life than the folks having palpitations over the Googlesmack and lack of opps. Good attitude, Flo.

I don't put others down for going into a panic and doing what Google dictates, but it's not something I'll do. it was never "our" PR anyway - it's always been theirs. Oh, well! Agree, Tina.
