We’ve all been reading a lot this month about Google’s updates to Page Rank and how a lot of sites have been adversely affected by this.

After much of the buzz has calmed down, I’ve noticed that it appears Google has slapped my own site, this one, in a strange way.

http://www.joetech.com seems to have been completely removed from Google and my Page Rank of 5 seems to have vanished entirely. Either this is a very strange glitch that will hopefully be resolved very soon, or Google has penalized JoeTech.com in a big way for perhaps one of the following reasons:
- writing positively about Google at times
- being online for over 10 years
- not selling links
- not spamming or submitting my URLs to link farms

What gives, Google? I’m pretty sure I’ve been pretty nice to you and followed the rules.
