Though I do have my share of grudges, but on this count Google won me. I had PR4 for one of my sites (I know, I know PR is useless, but not so if you are trying to sell ad space.) Then Google dropped it to 0 because I was engaging in paid reviews, and google somehow found that out. I created a thread here asking if anybody regained their lost PR by asking for reconsideration. A few replied they did. So I cleaned up my site and requested a reconsideration. 2 weeks later, my site is on PR3! But there is more. During the reconsideration request I bickered how many sites are still enjoying high PR despite doing paid reviews. I was annoyed especially to see the site who originally gave me this idea of doing paid reviews at PR6. However, I took NO NAMES. I'm not that bad. Today, I just casually went to that site, the one who made me loose my PR by giving me wrong ideas, and saw massive changes. All advertisers vanished. Dozens of paid links gone. No more boasting of how many $$$ earned last month (which he displayed at the top). I quickly checked his PR. It was 0. OMG!! PR6 to PR0. What a sweet revenge! I did nothing, google just found out.
Wow... well isnt that dandy... Why would you want "revenge" on someone that YOU copy catted from? Of course you didnt RAT him out after you requested reclusion laterz malcolm
The same way im feeling about you right now HE didnt drag you into anything! You took it upon yourself to do like "he does" and got burnt. PS.... Im done with this thread and You before i snap the F out laterz malcolm
I had an original pr4 site but after update it has got pr5.. but has become a fake one.. So nothing to relish...
Oh come on. I did him no harm. There is no reason for getting mad at me. It pissed me to see his site at PR6 with so many paid links, while I, who blindly took his path had to suffer. Just think of how many sites he might have brought down by suggesting that they should do paid reviews. Why should you be sorry for a guy who took many to doom along with him?
Good for you. Now focus on things with "no selling" activity and You'll get your good standing @ Google soon.
Just make things right and clean, with any agendas that jump over google guidelines and there you are. Great news.
Good to hear that, its quite rare that you got reconsidered cause not much sites or blogs get their PR back once they lose it for paid reviews. Keep it up and keep those links no follow. Congrats!
