I suppose I'll find out soon enough. @ Mig: I somewhat agree with you. For a blogger like me, I reply heavily on Google traffic. So, having my articles rank high on the results totem pole is important. @ Danielle: I did it for you. :P Seriously, though...you are a sneaky SOB! :D @ Derekch: That's precisely what I'm doing. No reason to stop now. @ Jez: I have no clue. I suppose I’ll find out soon enough.

The approach that I am taking right now is to do my best to roll with the punches and continue doing what I want to do. Maybe that means that I am truly blogging just for fun or I continue to build on previous progress, time will tell. I’ve had one site drop while the others have thus far not been impacted.

But I do think we shouldn't over-obsess over PR. In the end our purpose is to create passionate users and to sell our products and ideas. And there is no way Google can stop us from doing that. There are more other sources of traffic available online. Actually many bloggers are already surrendering - and that’s somehow sad. But I do think we shouldn’t over-obsess over PR.

Looking at it from another point of view, if Google don't stop people passing PR for money, then the internet falls into the hands of an ever shrinking number of people with big bucks to bulk buy links... and Google searches become less relevant... that is not good for Google... and it is not good for small players like ourselves.
