teecup limited: Thursday, blogs got slapped by Google Panda

This is not a regular blog post for Teecup Limited. This entry does not discuss freelancing, writing or working from home. Consider it a sporadic burst of emotion.

Something weird happened today... apart from the fact that Apple's Steve Jobs passed away (may his soul rest in peace).

Is it just us or did Google Panda decide that the blogosphere is a pet peeve?

We were doing our rounds on Adgitize when we noticed that not just one -- but all of the blog sites we checked out lost their page rank from 1, 2, 3 and 4 to a measly N/A - ours included, of course.

Out of disbelief, we snooped into ProBlogger, the Huffington Post and Technorati. Surprise, surprise. The blogging giants also lost their precious PR. Even Cat versus Human, which had a fabulous book launched yesterday, was not spared of the PR stripping.

What could have happened? Was it just us or did you smell something fishy too? Did your blog get slapped by Google Panda? Or is this all a bad dream?

We're going bonkers! Violent reactions, comments and rebukes - post them in our box. We're eager to know what you think.

XOXO,

Teecup and the Kitty Gang (Vanilla, Munchkin and Cookie Boy)

It was weird. All of my blogs got PR 0. But then I checked tonight and all were back to their former PR. It was just probably a glitch.

When I read this post, I check mine right away before finishing the post. All is well and fine in my side, nothing change. Then drop by here to comment and read @Chin chin's post that probably it was a glitch yet could not be either because my new travel photolog was PR0 already which used to be N/A earlier this month and it is barely a month old yet.

Hi Chin... Hi Sir Rob. Thanks for the updates.

I'm still seeing the same PR 0 for all blog sites - including Adgitize and Yahoo. Maybe the problem comes from my end. Maybe my Mozilla add-on tool bar isn't working. o.0

Aha.. Mozilla toolbars is not so reliable. I keep seeing errors from their end.

Mine was PR3 but became N/A using WebRank SEO Toolbar on Firefox. I verified using prchecker.info and it is still PR3. Could be a glitch on my add-on.

Have a good one too, Geri. :) The bad weather is keeping me away from my blogging activities as well. I hope there won't be too many power outages. Re: PR, others say it was just a glitch (yey).

My main blogs are not affected at all. But they decreased in SE ranking. That was too bad. So what I am doing now is on page optimization. My competitor blog (which is not updating and is fewer links than me) just replaced my blog. I guess that competitor beat me up to relevancy issues.

Hi Allen, I have NO idea about SE rankings. Did you mean search engine position? I haven't really googled my site for certain keywords... won't be surprised if I don't find my site listed at all (tee hee). Thanks much for the interesting updates. All the best on your blog sites. You've got amazing traffic for Ninja Saga.

Mine's got no rank yet so I don't have to worry :D I wish I could replace my competitors website in their SE position.

Oh my, I have not blogged for quite a while. To my surprise, the blog was given a higher page rank during the entire month that it went idle... hmmm... PR baffles me, tee hee.

Thanks to all of you who took time to leave comments. Much appreciated :) I hope to resume blogging soon.

Yes, google pand hacked many affiliate websites. This update is really good for people who are working hard to present something unique. Thanks

Glad you took time to leave a comment, adovesingapore! :) I don't know whether Google panda is my friend or foe... I sure do hope things will be brighter for affiliate sites.
