hi I was check my website, unbelieveable, I lost that dam PR3. How this can be happen before PR updates? Is that means, google banned my site, sandbox?
There has been pr updates going on all week. Maybe you got penalized? From submitting to too many directories in a short period of time
Well, google PR update seem can not predict now days. Just keep to follow the google guide line for safe way.
Type the raw URL of your website into the Google search box; if it doesn’t show up then yes, you’ve been banned. You said you lost your PR3, so what is it at now?
How does change in PR happen in the middle of a quarter. This looks weird and google has become smart enough to take penal action against defaulters as soon as possible?
I went from PR5 to PR2...never even did a damn thing to my home page, either...never lost backlinks, etc.
Did you pm the users who did the work for you? Or did you list your URL in their thread. If you did dont do it next time. And no you are not Sandboxed. They probably just slapped you for buying for PR juice vesus Traffic. In addition if you bought a high amount of link juice that could affect you as well. Some suggest 3 - 5 links probably per week/or per day depending. They will know about a natural linkage juice thingy.
I think PR updates are happening not are regular intervals anymore but continuously if you don't mind posting or PMing the URL maybe we can take a look and see what is going on
Please read the forum stickies before starting a thread there. <this thread does NOT belong in the Google forum!>
I've typed as http://www.mydomain.com two links come up. Is that mean I didn't banned? Now it is PR0, I mena no pr rank No I haven't but I purchased some link from other pages. I found them from backlinks.com As I know PR updates was happening in every 3months. So I am surprised, I was expecting PR5 on next update but now it is PR0. I bought lots of PR3 links from different sites... no. I got PR3 on July update which was pr0 before it. yeah url is www.bigloveturkey.com
Then you have your answer here (and wasted your money). Google does not like paid links at all, because they completely skew the ranking algorithm and thus directly endangers the business model. By paying for links, sites can artificially boost their relevance and Google would no longer be able to present the user the really most relevant result for a search query. Thus it's a reportable offense: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/paidlinks?hl=en
Google could not possibly penalize a site for buying links !!! How does it know that the competitors did not buy the links in order to harm it ?? Google instead penalizes the sites that actually SELL links by decreasing their PR and therefore lowering the LINK JUICE they can pass .... thus either you sold links on your site and google found out or the links you purchased have all been devalued and therefore your PR dropped
I have link section on my site but I never sold a single link, but I purchased some blog postin and directory submittind i guess that dropped my pr. When I loging to webmaster tools from google. Few days ago there was 200 external links to homepage, 15-20 links to some of the pages. Now it appears only 1 link to a subpage, homepage completely deleted. I think I get penalized, how long will it take do you think? Should I submit Reconsideration request for my website?
