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

Both site's of mine where they have reduced PR, are not selling links, I understand the human edited PR (Mostly Indians) make lot of mistakes.
Google probably need to hire some one who is better understanding what is link sales and what is a link exchange.

 

Perhaps a mod could be installed to allow users to agree with a post and then only 1 person is allowed to make the comment "No update". Then the post with "No Update" may have 23 agrees stuck to it.

 

I have found three sites that have been penalized because of paid links and/or paid reviews:

Is There A PageRank Penalty In Your Future?

This follows on the heels of SERPs being reduced for many sites (particularly paid link directories) during the waning weeks of summer.

My thinking is that an export of PageRank to the Google toolbar will take place once every site that will be penalized has taken a hit. This may take some time as I understand that the review process is being done by humans, not computers to ensure accuracy and compliance.

 

ok so far most updates that have happend have been - page rank...If im correct in thinking no sites have has a + page rank yet ?

Did this not happen on the last update ?

 

I had last week a site from from PR5 to PR4 but Google Search traffic has increased 20%.

I would gladly drop another 4 PR for 80% more search traffic.

 

but seriously pr update took pretty much long time !! , and there isn't any pr changes in any of my sites

 

So let me get this straight, you annoyed so much by people posting "no update yet" that you'll make a post about it, but then you make a post like this:

And you don't think that's clogging the thread?

 

PR update wont be soon !!! I read Google bulletin last month and they mentioned that PR is not expected in next 2 - 3 months !!!!

 

I'm not sure what a "google bulletin" is, do you have a link? I'd definitely be interested in reading that thanks

 

I agree. Please send over the URL of this bulletin so that we may review it.

Last I read, which was in Matt Cutt's blog, is that he did not expect a pr update for a few more weeks. And that was October 1st when he posted it in his blog.

 

I had one site that dropped from pr5 to pr4. bit dissapointed by that. The rest haven't moved and I expect them to move up. We'll see though. When Google's done bullying us all, the dust should settle on a new link economy.

 

I would like to read that also.

 

My profile page here at DP is now showing a PR2 and I know for a fact it was showing "No PageRank info available" a few days ago.

It seems that a mini-update may have occurred.

Why do you have to tell fibbs for? I just don't get how some people get off on this stuff. No page rank update for any of my sites."

Joey122, when PR has changed for 147 (15.4%) of my 953 sites, I would think this is pretty significant finding to report. It is people with only a few site who report no update who are providing useless information.

 

So an update has occurred over the past couple of days?

 

Not so. Went to PR4 from PR3 here: EntireAccess.com

 

it definately seems that something is happening anyways. i have been noticing updates to links

 

But all pr updates reported till now have been negative. What does this mean

 

I thought this happend on the last update ?!

 

Thanks for the link. And yes, Danny Sullivan has a magic phone line straight to Matt Cutts.

If Danny says there were PR changes last week, there were. I doubted the posts here, many times a webmaster simply does not realize changes occurred much earlier than they thought. I figured many of these posts were only just realizing that they had a change in what seemed to be a canonical update in July.

Obviously what happened last week was different...
