Hey Gooner,
yes–All very good points.
In addition, Google has exhibited some very strange behavior over the past week, actually wiping out all but 15 of my indexed pages (on searchengineforums we are discussing this right now and nobody can offer an explanation other than Google is messed up!)
G liked my site and I had about 100 terms in the top 10 SERPS and Poof – so right now I guess I am not in a very good bargaining position (although Yahoo and MSN are still bringing in traffic)
All I can do is keep working on my site and hopefully G will rectify itself.
As for keeping the site/selling–I just need some quick cash to get out of debt. Ive had a series of unfortuante incidents over the past year that caused me to be in an uncomfortable financial position, a position which I am not accustomed to.
Yeah if I just take the earinings each month and pay down my debt I’ll eventuall get out but it make sme uncomfortable.
I’ll keep everyone posted on what happens
