I agree that the PR game is weird and frustrating. Congrats on a PR 3
though! That's great. I think we will look back on this period one

rigid and regulated in 10 years

The trouble is that whilst content is still king if you do something that Google is against, like doing paid posts, then Google will take that PR right off you.

Go figure.
