You know you've been penalized in Google if

... just a little tickle for your funny bone.

You know you've been penalized in Google if:

- You ate steak for the last 3 months straight, and now have a cupboard full of top ramen.

- You can name 90 of the first 100 sites from the SERP for your keywords.

- You mistakingly said McDarnolds when you meant to say McDonalds.

- You only checked your AdSense stats once today.

- You recently updated your resume.

- Your ulcer came back.

- Your last week was a smudge in time, blurred together by excessive drinking... among other things.

- You started doing YOUR searching with Y! or MSN.

- Your new earnings goal is 1/10th of what it was 7 days prior.

- Your mother reminds you that if things get really bad, she'll always take you back in (no matter how old you are)

- Any time someone mentions rock icon Mick Jagger, you vomit... and you love rock music.

Feel free to add to the list... I just thought I would try to lighten the mood. Jagger has many of us on edge.

- You're constantly explaining to your friends why they can't find your website.

You actually READ all the Update posts and replies on WW. All of them. Every single one of them.

- You no longer even have the chance to perform in bed because you're always up late making Google sitemaps (and your partner just doesn't find that very exciting foreplay...)

roodle, that's comedy. I love it!
