I just checked Yahoo and MSN for "swollen pickles" and you showed at number one. But when your rankings were low was Yahoo and MSN down as well or just Google?

Or do you think that it was possible you were always going to come back without any changes but Google just wanted to slap you on the wrist as kind of a warning?

For a while my blog (which was never really popular) turned up at page 3 on google. The blog name was my name! Maybe now is the time to switch over to one of those spicy search engines.

I do not think that any one had any thing about what was done. What everyone objected to is how it was done and is being done. There simply has not been any transparency nor any attempt at dialogue. G have lost a lot of goodwill which will cost them dear sometime in the future. The Big G saga continues. I do not think that any one had any thing about what was done.

I thought it had to do with a paid text advertisement... I didn't know that was against Google's TOS, but apparently, it's OK with them as long as you do a rel="nofollow" http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66736 I didn't know it was against their TOS until just now though... So I never did add that nofollow tag, but my traffic just jumped back up to normal for that page. Maybe they're giving us warnings :O I think I'll go ahead and add the nofollow tags... Because although my traffic went back up for the page, the PR stayed down to ZERO for it! lol. I don't want my page or the person who paid for the links page to get blacklisted.
