That's all folks! I can't fight Google and I can't spend hours working on blog posts, once seen by thousands, that are now seen only by a few dozen at best. I refuse to pay Google to enhance online searches on my behalf and my punishment is to not appear in any search results at all. My life is far too busy to continue. I may post once in a while if there's something on which I just have to comment. Farewell!
That's a shame but understandable. Thanks for all the excellent posts over the years.
ReplyDeleteAs Brian said. It's been a great read
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your news.
ReplyDeleteReally sorry to hear that. Your posts are in my daily reads and have been always interisting to read and view. Hope you can return in the future. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteVery sorry to hear this. I come here daily and have always loved your posts. It seems that all my favorite blogs are disappearing rapidly. Good luck to you.

ReplyDeleteA shame but thanks for all the posts.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your blog via Feedly. (rss feed reader) Never (seldom) leave comments, but I do enjoy your site. And I mentioned 40 year itch back in June on one of my "4 for Friday" posts. (which probably did you absolutely no help in added readers...but whaddyagonnado?!) Stay well and screw Google.)
ReplyDeleteI've been one of your few dozens for the past couple of years. Thanks for all the great posts. They always bring back good memories..
ReplyDeleteSorry to read this, I've really enjoyed visiting and reading, and your writing will be much missed. Thanks so much for so many great posts, memories and music over the years.
ReplyDeleteReally sorry to hear this. I've enjoyed reading your blog once a week for the past several years, such nostalgia - you will be missed. It's been great to be reminded of events from so far back even though it underlines my own decrepitude! Have to say I'm ignorant of the specific problems you're facing from Google but appreciate that you feel unrewarded for all your efforts by diminishing number of visitors. Hope you can find a way back in the future. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteDitto to all of the above!
DeleteVery sorry to hear this and will dearly miss indulging my nostalgia jones, but I completely understand. Stay well!
