My links and traffic have always been genuine, yet my PageRank just went from 6 to 4 without any rhyme or reason. No explanation, no recourse, just a what? Penalty? Why? Google is probably too big, too important to care... I do and I will remember. Tony,

I never had advertising of ANY kind at Conversation Agent, ever. My links and traffic have always been genuine, yet my PageRank just went from 6 to 4 without any rhyme or reason. No explanation, no recourse, just a what? Penalty? Why? Google is probably too big, too important to care… I do and I will remember.

I also use Text Link Ads. The problem is, TextLinkAds don't include the NoFollow code that Google wants to see. It seems tome that we should be able to modify TLA's plugin to insert that code. But let's face it: that's why TLA advertisers are paying to advertise on our sites. They want to punch up their page rank. The ads are unrelated to content and I seriously doubt if anyone clicks on them. It becomes a measure of what's more important: the Google assigned rank or the revenue. TLA payments cover all of my blogging expenses. AdSense revenue does not. The pay per click model is losing ground as Web surfers become more savvy and recognize ads for what they are. This is clear to me: most of my AdSense revenue comes from a local interest site that gets a fraction of the traffic of my main blog, which covers (among other things) tech content. What's more important to me? I'm not sure. Google Page Rank IS a vanity thing. It certainly doesn't lead to more clicks on AdSense ads. I like having my blogging expenses paid for, but, in general, I don't like the quality of TLA advertisers. (I reject about 1/2 the ads submitted.) We'll see how things go and whether TLA does something to improve the situation. Hmmm…I just went from 6 to 4. I also use Text Link Ads.

The problem is, TextLinkAds don’t include the NoFollow code that Google wants to see. It seems tome that we should be able to modify TLA’s plugin to insert that code.
