		<description>So basically your blog is nofollow? or do follow with X number of comments?

Seriously this should be mention honestly because I don&#039;t like to post in NoFollow blog. 

Keywordluv and commentluv is useless without DoFollow. 

Well I also don&#039;t see top commentators in your blog.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the reply Melissa. When the next update happens will certainly be visting your website Melissa to see if it made a difference. Also agree re PR v Traffic as content gets traffic while PR seems for many to be vanity!!!</description>

		<description>Hi David,

Thanks for the question and no, I had not yet answered this elsewhere. No worries. :-)

In all honesty, I believe it to be the server move and the resulting 404 errors that came along with it. There were many posts on the old blog that I did not move to this one, and I did not point those posts anywhere to the new blog.

That may not have been all of it, but I know that it was a good portion of it. I am waiting until Saturday to switch DoFollow back on. Reason why is that some are still reporting that their PR is still fluctuating. I think by Saturday, it should have settled out.

Then we get to wait for the next PR update to see what happens by being DoFollow. ;-)</description>

		<description>Been reading a few of your articles tonight and make very pleasant reading.
I see that you have got back to 2 on the latest page rank so have you finally concluded what caused the drop previously? sorry if you have already answered this elsewhere as i did do a search but could not find anything.</description>

		<description>Hi Justin,

Well, that&#039;s the million dollar question. :)

I have done what I can to rectify everything I believe Google might not have liked and am letting it roll until the next PR update.

Once it comes around, I will be going back to DoFollow and we will see what happens on the following update.

Honestly, I&#039;m not so much concerned with PR anymore. In a way, I never was. It&#039;s just a hard knock when you once had it and then it gets taken away.

As I&#039;ve said before, I will take traffic over PR any day of the week.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s really interesting if the reason for the drop was in fact to being &quot;Dofollow.&quot; I think it is pretty sad on Google if they would downgrade a PageRank simply because your giving your readers a fair backlink.

I have been DoFollow now for a few months but I am yet to see what will happen when the next PR update takes place. I really hope it does not affect me. 

If it does, I guess PageRank isn&#039;t so important after all.

		<description>Hi Sam,

Yes, I believe it was mainly the 404&#039;s that reduced the ranking. It was a pretty hard hit.

I can understand where you are coming from on the domain move. I&#039;ve had that happen in the past myself. As you said, it is definitely a tough way to learn.

All the best to you.</description>

		<description>The 404 must have really hit you hard.  When I was learning about SEO a few years ago I had a .info url.  I really wanted a .com and finally saw an opportunity.  I vanished for around 6 months.  There are some very basic things you just can&#039;t do after you have an established and respected site.  What a tough way to learn.</description>
