I’ve mentioned in previous posts that my Google PageRank has been pushed down to 0.  And there is no reason for this to happen.  I haven’t really noticed any other website that I monitor getting punished by Google this way.  I’ve never done anything that I am aware of that Google considers bad or manipulative.  Needless to say, sometimes sites get reviewed by the algorithm and punished…that’s the problem with a computer determing your rank.

Aside from that, my keyword positions are stable and we’re getting a good amount of traffic and sales.  We always want more than we get, but I’m not complaining.  In Yahoo my pages for Floor Pillows and Bean Bags keep dropping.  Not sure why.  I know I haven’t been working on SEO much, but the business has been busy, so I’ve put it off.  I have to get back to creating good and unique content.  I think one of the things I might do to my homepage is reduce the size of my opening text and add more information.  Googlebot can’t read the images that I have at the top of the page…that is more for the user anyway.

snowflake2.gifSince today is the biggest shopping day of the year, I expected most people to be out at the malls and stores across America and shopping for those wonderful deals that retailers put out there.  I was surprised to see that some stores were opening at 4am in my area.  DoorBusters were rampant.  I don’t understand it.  I mean this in the nicest way possible, those of you shopping at 4 am…Nuts!

 Anyways…I expected today to be a slow sales day.  I was right…no sales so far.  We actually did get a Thanksgiving day sale.  That surprised me.  Even though we’ve had no sales so far, our traffic is still pretty normal.  Maybe people are out there comparative shopping.  I expect the next several days to be pretty good.
