Since the big PR crash that took place a few days ago happened, webmasters everywhere have been chatting incessantly over some major drops in PR.
And I was no exception - on the blogs on which I use Text Link Ads - my lovely PR5’s dropped to fours, and my fours dropped to threes. Ordinarily I wouldn’t care - because PR doesn’t matter, right? ;) However, since TLA ads pay mainly based on PR, and since they usually don’t even accept blogs with PR3 and lower, I’m getting a little concerned.
Concerned and a little disgruntled - I had hired writers to post a BUNCH of new posts on those blogs, and had promoted them over the past few months - so it was not what I expected.
But I suppose that’s part of the excitement of affiliate marketing - adjusting to these unexpected bumps.

Oh man oh man, my site has been taken down to a PR2… and it relies mainly on Text Link Ads for its revenue - and because it’s a PR2 I’m wondering if they’ll pull their advertising?
It’s such a frustrating, fickle situation to be in. I am left wonder what is left to try to make some extra cash with?
… soooo frustrating!
