Lack of Google Links

Or none for that matter.

I have a question, and would like as much feedback as possible. I have several niche sites, where traffic and income was going great, until July 4th, when Yahoogle Updated. As for recently, I noticed my sites are a PR3, they might have been a PR5 before, not sure, because didn't pay much attention or understand Google's PR ratings until this last week, of doing research. I have several non-niche sites, which have links showing up in google, when I search for info:www.non-niche-sites.com, and then click on the link, link. And several links show up that are linking to my site. And I did this for the other non-niche sites, and I came up with the same result. As for my niche sites, I do the process of finding links, and no luck what so ever. It shows none, where I know there are links out there linked to my site, because I have used google before to see where my links were coming from.

What could this be a result from? Is google punshing me? Because last week, Thursday July 4th. My Yahoo placement dropped from Spot 3 for my keyword where I have been for a few months to ummm I can't even count that high. I haven't seen the Yahoogle update today, so not sure if its fixed or not. But, this is concerning me, and I am curious what you might have to say about this. I know there is a chance where I might have been punished, where I know I have to email [e-mail] and ask them. But, I would like to hear what you have to say first. Because I don't want to go all out, and ask them, "are you punishing my sites: site1.com, site2.com, site3.com, site4.com ?" Any suggestions in what might be going on, and what I should do?

ooch, links change, algos change, the internet is in constant change. Only thing i can suggest is dont rely on one basket for all of your traffic.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I agree, and have learned through this to not put all my eggs in one basket. Although, now I need to learn how to optimize my sites success off of Yahoo, Google and other SE's. Easier said than done, I know. Thanks again.

As wasmith writes, the internet is in constant change. You can help change Google's link map by encouraging links from other pages with good PageRank.

This is the only way to get PageRank.
