Google's 2007-Q3/Q4 PageRank (PR) Update

I dont think this is ever going to happen. This has to be one of the largest posts I have ever seen tho

 

google has been sparse with the whole page rank thing my way. pretty soon i will be holding a cardboard sign begging for handouts. right outside one of there million dollar buildings

 

HaHa! And Ill join you!

 

From my observe, I see PR update on many small sites and new domain that registered between May - Jul 2007. I don't see any changes on my 2-3 years old domains and they are still PR4-5 at this time.

However, This PR thread has reached 200 pages already Congrats

 

This thread is starting to feel like a Guiness Book of Records world record attempt it's been building for so long and getting so big

 

With all of the angry webmasters in the world, I am surprised that no one has driven a Ryder truck into the Googleplex yet.

 

One thing could end this post. a Page Rank Update. come on googlebot... get the hint already!

 

Have any of you tried to call Google and ask?

 

Yip someone did and they said it was just a spoof cause to many people are worried about it.

The thread was in the "directories section" started by Mario but i cant seem to find it but you may if you look for it.

thx

I lost ..... I said that PR update would be over before eaching 200 pages Likely I didn't bet any money on it !!!

 

im guessing today will be the day. so i have about 10 hours left.... before you get excited... i have no reason to believe it is today other than today is Monday

 

No. PR is a measure of incoming links. The Google filters affect PR passed via outgoing links.

To the extent that the majority of incoming links are paid links detected by Google, that is true. I suspect that means the scammier/spammier directories will in due course lose PR; the stornger ones with decent "organic" links will not.

You haven't been paying attention, have you? Google has from the beginning discouraged artifical link building schemes and discounted them once detected. What happened this year was merely a stepped up war, not a new initiative.

Exactly!

And for those of you still holding on desperately to the hope that Google cannot detect paid links, open your eyes. They have been doing that for some time and most of the new breed of annual fee everyone-welcome directories or bidding directories basically scream out "paid link farm". Many of them are making it easy for Google.

In my profession, that is known as BLATANT DENIAL. In other professions, it's known as blind ignorance.

 

Very well stated!

 

Webmasters are well wise to this and many no longer use terms such as these to describe these links, I like to use 'Recommended' for these types of links... tell me how Google can say for sure someone paid me for them... I might just be recommending them cos i like them...

 

1. Links outside of sentences.
2. Links placed close to other links.
3. Links to unrelated sites.

 

How much can you trust to these toys ?

it predicts PR5 for me , u think I could actually get it :O

 

Not at all.

 

Then below the cluster of links you have "Advertise Here" on all 3 sites which in turn goes to an advertise.php URL with text like:

"Just click the subscribe button below for the type of link you wish to buy and be sure to fill out your links details in the 'Message to Seller' PayPal screen when prompted. "

And:

"Footer Sponsor Link - $9.95/month"

Yep, masking it with "Recommended" is sure foolin them.
