You’d think they’d turn some of that ingenuity into money-making operations, like porn. I think I’d be really interested in some good Turkish porn.

well it seems they are on some kind of jihad against Swedish hosting companies, after an artist here made a wooden dog resembling their prophet.

Also they just discovered the Internet, it’s like USA in the mid 80s.

Thanks for the well wishes Ed, but it’s looking like the chances of the site coming back are slim. We’ll see though.

yes let’s hope gary’s site gets back up soon. and that readership numbers jump back up too. johncow wrote about it today too. hopefully it’s just a google reader glitch. on another note. you crack me up, man! “I’d imagine the sort of person that does something like this and spells their online persona with a combination of letters and numbers (and let’s not forget CAPS) must be the sort that hasn’t seen “outside” in awhile, has really greasy hair and probably has to wear mittens all the time.” LOL

Yeah I was a bit miffed at my PR drop but so far traffic has still been steady. But the RSS drop overnight is pretty weird, let’s hope they fix that soon!

nah I think this drop hasn’t anything with google giving penalities, I think the answer is simple, the sites that linked to let say jimmy’s blog dropped, so the the google juice they give is now much lower than before, thus if you are unlucky and most of the sites that linked to you have had their pr decreased, giving you a new and lower PR.

Which kind of sucks but what can you do.
