The Success

About two weeks ago, I was surprised when found my pagerank reset from three to zero. I thought that my eyes was wrong, then I tried to check it to some pagarenk checker. And I got that my pagerank is zero. My best friend, Leet also wrote about this case. Thank you Leet...

I wonder, panic and asked to my self “what happened ?”
Then I tried to found some information. First, I post to Google Webmaster Help. Then some people responded my article. They said google penalized my blog cause of hidden link in my footer’s blog. I tried to find which one of hidden link, until I found there were 4 hidden links at my blog.

Frankly, I can said they are not hidden link, because three of them are empty link, just the menu “home”, “about”, “contact” from original template and the rest of designer identity “design by BloggerBuster”.

The 4 links were invisible cause I modified the original template color and I didn't know the 4 links at my blog's footer were invisible. Cause the original color of 4 links are white and I change the template color to cream (most white). So the 4 links be invisible.

You can see the picture above, the link can see because I drag my mouse on them. Then I deleted three links hidden but the identity of designer still there, because I want to acknowledge and respect to Miranda (BloggerBuster) as a designer this template.

Then I send message to Google Webmaster, that I already fix the link. But until now there are no respond. I also tried to asked reconsideration via Webmaster Tools, but still no respond. Someone said maybe Text Link Add (TLA) cause my blog penalized. It’s dilemma to me, which one I must choose,

1. Delete TLA link and my online income decrease
2. Let TLA link, but my pagerank still zero
