I can relate to what you are saying. My blog inexplicably dropped to a ranking of 3 last year after being ranked 4 for a year. I agree we just have to stay focused on our customers and our sponsors and write for our audience. Despite the drop in ranking last year, my blog still retained its No.1 position in Google for its targeted keyword...so who knows how relevant rank is anymore! I'm finding that linking my blog to my Squidoo lens gives me multiple bites at Google listings...so I'll keep doing that and offering real content and resources to my readers. ~~~~~~ Hey Ron! Too true. Folks are saying that PR is dead. Personally, I think it's just something for Google to hold over our heads. It really has nothing to do with the SERPs pages. If you look at most pages you won't see high PR sites in the #1 spot. (Of course, it depends on what you're Googling.) Pfffttt!!
