Google Penalty Reversed
I guess Google loves me once again. The referrals aren’t back yet to their original levels but they are getting there. As you see, February was a bad month, traffic-wise [see the above image for fall and rise of Google referrals] I had whined earlier on the harsh penalty it imposed on my blog for selling text link ads even after I stopped doing it. But I guess, I just needed to be patient and wait a little longer. Thanks to Daniel from Daily Blog Tips and Amit Agarwal from Digital Inspiration for their advice. As I mentioned to Suyog, it is basically a trade-off between income from Text Link Ads and Google Adsense that is directly proportional to traffic and of course, whether you believe selling text link ads is an unfair practice and messes up the search results for everyone. Welcome back, Google searchers.
