Seems like hardly anyone has their own web sites anymore. They just plop their asses on Facebook. The problem with that is every link to your web site from Facebook doesn't seem to count according to Google. Here's an example:
www.randomterrain.com/personal-lakeside-amusement-park.html
There are 74 links to that page from Facebook, but it only has a PageRank of 1 (a 10 is the best). If I would have gotten 74 links from people's actual web sites, the PageRank would probably be at least a 3. And that's just one example. Seems like more and more people have abandoned personal web sites and moved to Facebook, so my whole web site has suffered. As the Facebook like count grew for various pages on my web site, the PageRank dropped. I've deleted many pages at my web site in the hopes that I'll stop losing PageRank. If things keep getting worse, I'll delete everything except the Atari-related pages. That would make Google happy since they want a web site to be about one subject.
