It seems like it's not just commercial webmasters that got affected by the recent Pagerank updates. Even the STANFORD DAILY dropped drastically from PR9 to PR7! It has been submitted to SEO BUZZ here: http://eonte.com/seobuzz/story.php?title=Link_Selling_Equals_Google_Juice_Squeeze So for those affected, don't be too discouraged. At the same time, do join SEO BUZZ and help us collate a good extensive resource of SEO-related news & articles. Tks
Good. Who knows, maybe within a year we won't see this crap at all, and only natural results will end up in google.
Both Harvard and Stanford use or used TLA. Google seems to be penalizing sites using TLA or other known paid-advertising-via-text links-w/o-nofollow types-of-sites.
well, at least it shows that they are fair in their treatment of all websites and not just the small players.....
Did Stanford really earn that PR9, or was it a gift from Google's upper echelon, many of whom are Stanford alumni?
