Did you know that this blog used to have a Google Pagerank of 5? Yes. A five, people! Then, after the famous Google “Rank Spank” it dropped to a 4. I was very happy with my four. Some of the biggest, most badass blogs out there are a 4. It’s good to be a 4!

And then, I decided to separate my blog from my family URL, where it lived in a little subdirectory. I wanted an easy URL to remember. Brand recognition and all that. And I did everything the internets told me to do – I had a permanent redirect in place, and I crossed my fingers, and hoped for the best. Well, the best did not happen. My pagerank did NOT transfer over, even though my blog is exactly the same as it was before – same fabulous, witty content, same awesome, good looking blog author. ;-)

Google just updated pagerank, and my blog is now at a ZERO.

Le sigh.

Oddly, my review blog only dropped from a 3 to a 2, even though its URL changed as well. I can only assume Google did its update last week while I was in the middle of fixing a corrupted database and a wonky redirect. That’s some fucked up timing right there, I think.

Oh well. What are ya gonna do?
