Google's 2007 Q4 PageRank (PR) Update - 10/13/07

yes got to agree

i think it is us tht made it so cheap Know it is upto us to increase the rate

i have already raised my rates in directories

 

PR is rubbish now...People used to manipulate google search engine rankings by buying links...now google manually dropping PR to take revenge...

"eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" LOL

 

Well if nothing else atleast poor webmasters will benefit from this hehe

 

Yes sort of..so called SEO professionals and firms will be seen tearing their hair off very soon.

Oh BTW, my PR5 technology blog with complete original and useful content has not been spared by google...

 

I'd like to know just what percentage of sites dropped in PR before saying it's going to increase in value. None of my sites dropped, and many of the sites I regularly visit didn't either. It was basically blogs about making money and most of those are participating in blogging networks to make more money. I know there are other sites that dropped, but it looks like most of those were/are selling links. I think just because this happened to some of the loudest sites in our circles, we think this is causing mass hysteria.

 

my site has been penalized too. from 2 to 1 .. www.ricdes.com

 

Sorry to hear that friend

Hey guys, how come none of my sites have shown a drop at all? Not even 1

Have I just not been done yet or?

 

I'm guessing google is still doing the PR update.

None of my 300+ websites have changed PR.

 

yes..the value will be double hopefully.

 

I just noticed another of my fave websites has gone down to 2, it's all very shocking really. I'm always telling people to ignore page rank and not worry about it, I should take my own advice and not get all bothered about it like I was a couple of hours ago. I think I even gave myself a headache!

 

this probably the update 4 months exactly after the notices of the previous update

and probably this are the final results... I dont think they will be any more changes, google want us to thank them from now on for just keeping us the same PR and not dropping it

 

None of my sites have experienced a PR drop. I have never sold links, or purchased links though.... so I will have to monitor them all to see if the changes are actually related.

 

some could be increased .....

Yah my directory got penalized to (http://www.smashingdir.com) - I have never purchased a link for it but still went down from 3 to 2 - They are just trying to hurt me because I'm beautiful, lol.

Maybe in like 5 or 6 years... they will stop the penalizing cycles and do one cycle that "adds" PR (but I doubt it, lol)

 

I still haven't seen any changes on my sites, I guess that's a good thing since everyone is showing PR going down

 

Hehe, I am also counting on this.


I've been expecting high PR then got surprised

 

ok, you didnt buy any links... but you do sell links from it. That's why google penalized you.

 

Could be, but do you actully think that G has 1000 workers who check every single website?

 

I would imagine so. Anything that is scarce will rise in value.

 

It is an interesting theory. It seems that some of the top websites are now 4 and 5 and so are the websites of stay-at-home moms and casual bloggers. So either advertisers will ignore PR or stay at home moms can compete with the Washington Post for ads.
