Im not sure what they are updating but one of my web review site just went from PR6 to PR4 in one day overnight...... Anyone else getting knocked around or this just me?
havent checked yet....just reading the tool bar. I normally wouldnt post a thread it just that it seems odd that 7 weeks after the last update things are moving again. It just seems strange that Google would update just 7 weeks after the last one,.,.,,,,,before that they updated in may.....so.......wheres the logic behind this ?
hmmmmm....good question. whatever the reason I still wanted to know if anyone else is getting any movement because the timing of this just doesnt add up. ....thanx for your kind input anyway though ;-)
They update all the time. They adjusting the PR for paid blogs and others. Not even sure if they are keeping the PR
Most of the blog dropping ranking are those involve in PPP, seems google is targeting especially the bloggers who are doing paid post.
my only question would have to be...how do they know that my site is accepting payment for blogs ?. I dont advertise openly and my other sites have kept same PR
I do not see any update going on my site. But I have heard couple others saying that their PR went down. None however claimed that it went up. Too many links going out all off a sudden maybe some sort of indication?
I ve heard a couple of things about google updating, however not seen anything substantial to make me believe it. Will.
"Too many links going out all off a sudden maybe some sort of indication?" Thnx for the info. My blog is set at 25 reviews, each with 2 outbound links...makes 50 . Is this a reason to loose PR though ??
they are after those pay per post and link selling on sites. heard few webmasters saying their pr dropped recently.
All these "updates" have been people losing pagerank for selling links. How google finds out is one of the following. 1. They have their spies, which can be users or paid employees/consultants, who go out and buy links and then report it. 2. Algorithms that detect paid links, which the way people do it is so obvious a trained monkey, much less many megaflops of computing power. I would do the following to help cut off the bleeding Google is causing. 1) Make buyers of links sign a non-disclosure agreement, electronically sign is fine. Of course, proving they disclose link information is another story and costly, but it could scare away many. 2) Break your sell "slots" up. Don't have them running together separated by "< br >" or " - " or anything else. Have some on the left, spaced apart from real content/links and sold links, some one the right, same thing, some on the bottom same type of spacing. Make it look more natural and less like a damn "this spot is for sale" sign that is so easy to detect. Bloggers - You need to keep your percentage of "reviews" down and it should never ever be a review of their site. You should be talking about something else. If you are talking about how bad the mortgage market sucks right now, then throw in a link to someone selling decent mortgages now as a PAID link, you are cool. But if you just review this mortgage site, you are screwed. You also need 80+% of your posts have no paid links in them. Same thing on making them sign an NDA though.
