The only thing constant is change. In my mundane life, I create websites, optimize them for keywords, then sell things on them. Well I’ve been lucky, for over a year I ranked #2 for a particular term. I made a lot of money off that term too.
Well I noticed our sales had fallen off the last two days. When I looked on Google, we had suddenly gone from number 2 to number 8. I have to admit, it put me in a panic. When you watch your visitors to this site go from 3k a day to 700 a day, and your sales drop, it hurts.
So this evening I’m working on banishing my worries and negative thoughts. We have a lot more irons in the fire. All of our income is not dependent on this term. And so the Goddess closed this door, she normally opens a window that when I look back, it was for the best that I took a different path.
In these times of economic hardship, I know I’m not alone in financial worries. So I’ll be getting out my green candle, dressing it with some fast money oil, and burning it on my altar for a few days. I’ll be doing some other rituals for prosperity also. With time, things will turn around…I have faith. And who knows? Could have been a glitch in Google that the spider couldn’t access the site when it came by last, and next week, we will be right back up again.

After I wrote this, I went and looked when the site was Cached by Google. Come to find out, it was a few hours after my server got hit with a TON of traffic, more B/W then I normally push through. It looks like it really could just have been a spider hiccup, which makes me feel much better.
