A quick clarification. In my post announcing that I’d taken a PageRank hit last night I mentioned that perhaps it was because I’d taken AdSense off my blog. I included a little smiley face next to that because it was something that I said – not believing was true for a second. There’s no chance that this is the reason.
I thought it was obvious that I was joking and not serious – but unfortunately I assumed incorrectly that people would see this and today have seen 10 or so bloggers reporting that this is what I think.
I’ve since updated that post to remove the smiley face and include a ‘joking’ comment. Sorry for the confusion – I think I’ll leave the jokes for others in future.

My name is Darren Rowse and I’m a full time Blogger making a living from blogs like 
That’s good to know John, hopefully more $$$ over coming weeks as PR continues to fall ;-)
This is a serious conundrum – do I want to get a higher page ranking, this is assuming that adsense and PR are linked – and then let all the people who visit my site go and see the competitors
I know this thread is quite dead, but maybe someone has email notification and can let me know.
